Rome at night, part II

So if you read my last post you know I had tripod problems on my trip. I was really looking forward to taking night shots of the Colosseum so you can imagine how disappointed I was when I discovered I was (for lack of a better word) screwed. 


Throughout the trip the big touristy spots were packed with guys selling knock-off designer handbags (bear with me here, this is going somewhere...) Much to my surprise on our last night in Rome when we were walking around the Colosseum, those same guys were selling tripods! Not the best quality - but actual full-sized tripods. How random is that? So, 15 Euros later I had one. Here is one of the pics I took:
