Today it's the lovely Island of Capri There will be more photos from Rome at a later date :) or at least a view from the Island garden of Augustus, built on the ruins of ancient Roman structures. The gardens were originally owned by the German Industrialist Frederic Krupp, who lived on the Island in the 19th C. and were later donated to the Isle of Capri. The tiny Island is about 6km long 3km wide, and is 5km off the coast of Italy in the Gulf of Naples.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)

A beautiful and splendid scene, especially nice for me to see today, as its been such a grey and dreary October day, and bright shots like yours put the sunshine on the screen

Very nice with the silhouettes of the trees. Just one little correction, the name of the industrialist was Krupp...

@Wolfgang Prigge: Oooops! I didn't realise I'd put Rupp till you pointed it out! thank you, for spotting it :)
