The Tiber today.

The Tiber today.
The result of many rainy days.
Wish you a wonderful week ahead.
*****************************************************

The Tiber Island (Italian: Isola Tiberina) is one of the two islands in the Tiber river, which runs through Rome; the island is boat-shaped, approximately 270 m long and 67 m wide, and has been connected with bridges to both sides of the river since antiquity. Being a seat of the ancient temple of Asclepius and later a hospital, the island is associated with medicine and healing

The island has been linked to the rest of Rome by two bridges since antiquity, and was once called Insula Inter-Duos-Pontes which means "the island between the two bridges". The Ponte Fabricio, the only original bridge in Rome, connects the island from the northeast to the Field of Mars in the rione Sant'Angelo (left bank). The Ponte Cestio, of which only some original parts survived, connects the island to Trastevere on the south (right bank).

Oh wow. Great photo of this scene. Love that you give all the information about the area also - fascinating!

Are they used to this much flooding?

I'm very fond of square format and here it gives the water so much weight, as it should because of the subject matter. Beautiful.

Thanks for adding to 'plants vs structures' - so I could enjoy it now!
