Four weeks ago, my friend and I took a taxi from our hotel to the Coliseum. As the cab rolled down the street, more and more ancient ruins began to appear until this massive structure loomed in front of us. I was glued to the window, taking it all in. It truly is a magnificent sight.
There's a big controversy regarding its restoration ($33 million), glad you saw it as it is now. Great perspective, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sharon, breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThis is superb! I've seen lots of Colosseum photos and I've even taken a few, but I've not seen this angle before. Very well done!
ReplyDeletehow travel opens us.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would be mesmerized by all of this antiquity!
ReplyDeleteYou caught this at just the right angle. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pic!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous shot! What wonderful memories you've made.
ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest works... I can understand your reaction.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very impressive structure, even now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pic, Rome is always Rome...
ReplyDeleteThis has been taken quite well. It is a site to see, I can't imagine a renovation. I like the ruins.
ReplyDeleteYou must have some memorable images.
ReplyDeleteGreat image, Sharon! From a car window? You put us to shame!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a wonderful sight.
