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! |
