I had about an hour between the end of work and my dentist appointment yesterday which I thought would provide enough time to walk around town a little with my camera.  Walking I did, picture taking, not so much.  After the sun sets I learned it isn’t easy taking pictures without a tripod.  I just couldn’t hold the camera steady enough to get clear pictures.  The only one I was fairly happy with was of the holiday lights on the side of a parking garage.  Coming into Rome from the south this view is visible to all.

I ended up taking a shorter walk than anticipated and vowed I would do it again but with a tripod in tow.  I did mange one other picture but I had to play with it a little to make the out of focus condition not as noticeable.  I zoomed in extremely close and I like how it turned out but I’m wondering if more of the building would add to the picture.

I should have some more time after work today.  Now I just have to decide where to go for the best opportunities.
