Vatican, a panoramic view of the still water fountain near tall monument in Saint Peters Square, to save water by order of the Vatican. The weather was incredibly hot and tourists were constantly running to the free water from some fountains in order to quench their thirst. I was one of them. Most fountains stopped, but a few small for drinking were allowed, and we all appreciated it very much since it was hitting 90-92F for the last few days.
