That is great. I love this shot and the thoughts and mood it and your words bring forth about how far we've come yet how far in many ways we've fallen.

Very nice!!! Beautiful use of depth in this one. That person walking over there really gives a great sense of lenght for the "tunnel". Have a wonderful week. #:O)

The futur, the past go hand in hand. As we build, so we must also remember and protect that which has historical significance. Love the human figure in the far background. It gives scale to the picture. Hope to see more of tis wall. Thank you for sharing.

The Roman's were way before their time.. even their hospitals were the most elite in all the world until the mid 1900's. An excellent shot of the mix of ancient flavors and new alike. :=)

I really like the wonderful use of bw and tone...or is this the actual color, perhaps that is the actual color in this location. Very well done. Thanks.
