Shadow Shot Sunday



Here's the Colosseum, in Rome.
Even 2,274 years later (!), can't you just
see the gladiators down here waiting to
face their fate?

  3. It almost looks to me like the shadows of people looking over the edge at those awaiting gladiators. When I visited the Colosseum, I felt the goosebumps rising!

  5. The gladiators
    wait to meet their fate—one will
    die and one will live.

  9. I have never been to Rome... I would love to have a time machine, though, and be invisible, to see the activities under and in the coliseum.
