The imposing showpiece of the Vatican, St Peter's Basilica during sunset. The gigantic church building is a work of art in itself and can be seen from all over Rome.
The reflection of St Peter's Basilica can be seen in the calm waters of the Tiber, right under the Roman Angel Bridge. To the right of the statue, another small glimpse of the Angel's Castle can be seen and birds flit about in the clear evening sky.
The photo was taken completely unplanned. At the right moment, I walked past this photogenic spot and this image immediately grabbed me with its warm colours, serene spot and stately basilica in the background of the cosy Italian capital.
                                
 
                                
                                        My name is Maaike Verhoef. Together with my partner,  I am currently travelling all over the world. We love nature and you can regularly find us in the mountains.
Later,  we hope to live in Austria to be in the mountains more.
Before we travelled,  I photographed everything around..
