If you're going to be literalist http://www.flickr.com/photos/16743931(a)N00/2388638087/ is a picture of the Tiber I took only a few weeks ago, very little foaming (apart from <insert political party of choice at mouth) and I can't see any blood (is this on-topic in any of the groups it is posted to?)
