the world from behind her camera
Rome Colosseum (part 2)
*click to enlarge*
First photo was taken while I was seated just in front of the Colosseum. Coming straight from the aiport, we just dropped our luggages in the hotel and immediately walked here. I was so impressed I just wanted to sit there until it gets dark. Which we did due to my request to my husband that I also want to capture it in the evening. So while waiting…yes, I just sat there and look…and look….

and sometimes would stand up, walk around and capture parts that I didn’t want to forget..such as this 2nd shot (faulty camera setting, argh!) anyhow, can you see how they constructed the arches? geniaal!

This 3rd shot was taken while I was at the top of a double decker bus (on our second day on the way to the Vatican.) See the outer wall? Just a small piece of it was left. It’s a shame that a big part of it was broken down and that the said parts were stolen to build houses and buildings around Rome. It also seems riddled with holes, that’s because the lead metals which were connecting the arches (also supporting the building) were stolen..leaving ‘holey’ memories.
here’s a short video I made with my camera..

Nice shots. Pang-postcard. You're so lucky to have visited the place. Not anybody is given the opportunity to have visited such historical place
