Rainy Rome

The Colosseum generally speaks for itself. Just like St. Peter's Basilica, I felt that the only way to come close to showing the size and grandeur of this structure was to utilize the panoramic setting on my camera. While we there, it began to rain. Sitting inside an ancient arch, aging down on the area where thousands were brutally killed, heroes were made, battleships waged war, and history was written, while thunder crashed and the sky turned into a jumble of blues and grays, was an experience that cannot truly be described, but only shared by those who were privileged to experience it.

This photo was taken the same day, on the walk back to our hotel.
