Description The most enduring symbol of ancient Rome. Giving you a taste of a few more of my passions. Ancient History and Archaeology. In B/W in a futile hope to mask the hundreds of tourists there! The energy this place gives off was amazing though.

Looking at this makes me wish I was back in Rome ^__^

Even in pictures, this marvel of a building gives off the feeling of a great power now lost. This is truly a wonderful shot.

I love this building. Well, I was never there, but it's amazing. Great capture. The decision to make it bw is very good. I saw the tourists first on the second view.

No cropping and no processing then? You have some real gems tucked away on those memory cards Miss D! Razor sharp, and most definitely b&w is totally appropriate for it.

This is quite literally awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I've cropped it to a square since it suited it better and just a touch of fiddling in Aperture.

Well I could do sepia but it would just be too Gladiatory then

Pleases my eyes. Inviting and worthy of praise.

Well maybe one day I'll take you there! I know a place where they do pizza so good you'd never enjoy pizza anywhere else!
