"Are you mad about what has been happening inside Iran these days? Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."

That's a wild looking fountain. You managed a good shot from the bus.
Hmm it is a great shot. love it
La fontana è veramente bella; il fotografo è veramente bravo. :)
Un D.P.Gossip: La fontana (primo '900)è del nonno dell'utimo ex sindaco di Roma (Rutelli) e pare che le donne immortalate in posizione sexy fossero sue ex amanti... che scandalo!
its a great shot considering you took it from a moving bus....more details about the history of the fountain???
Moi:" fountain of the Naiads".
In Greek mythology, the Naiads ( were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks, as river gods embodied rivers).
Built in 1888 following the designs of Alessandro Guerrieri who placed four chalk lions around the large circular basin. These were then replaced in 1901 by four bronze groups by the sculptor Mario Rutelli which represented the Lake Nymph with the swan, the River Nymph riding a river monster, the Ocean Nymph, known as "Oceana", on a wild horse which symbolises the breakers, and the Underwater Nymph, lying on the back of a dragon.
