| The view of the Colosseum from the Forum and Palatine Hill. | |
| The Colosseum with the Arch of Constantine | |
| Interesting clouds in this one... | |
| A little bit farther around from the photo above | |
| The Colosseum behind the entrance to the Forum | |
| The tallish bit peaking through the trees | |
| Looking back from the entrance to the Forum | |
| One of the tallest remaining parts of the structure | |
| Similar the the above shot | |
| More of the outside of the Colosseum (you can see the Arch of Constantine in the lower left corner too) | |
| More of the same! | |
| Looking up the side | |
| See below for a close-up of the bright on the topmost arch. I loved how the bright blue skies of that day contrasted with the building through the arches | |
| Interesting brickwork around this opening | |
| We were all going to pose for pictures under the numbered arch corresponding to our ages... until I remembered that my age was XXX in Roman numerals! (Look above the bottom arch for the numbers) | |
| I tried to capture the sense of the immense scale of the tallest surviving part of the Colosseum, but of course this doesn't do it justice! |
