Views from the Tiber

Well, here's a few more views from the Tiber on my walk to classes on the Janiculum (except for the last one, Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, where St. Catherine of Siena is buried). In the third picture, you can see the dome of St. Peter. I still don't understand why I'm the only one who walks here, but I'm certainly not complaining. Occasionally there are some vagrants on the opposite bank. By the way, you can click on the pictures to enlarge them. I highly recommend doing this as it's much easier to get a sense of the size of the places. In the second picture, it's possible to make out some seated vagrants. Remember that the Tiber used to flood Rome regularly, so those retaining walls are necessary!
