Last year I posted a snippet of the Colosseum in Rome that was taken about an hour before dawn. The combination of yellow lighting and dark blue sky was both gorgeous and dramatic.
This picture was taken at the same time, but it's a straightforward shot of the entire structure. It looks surprisingly small! I don't really recommend getting up at 5 am just to see the Colosseum like this, but if you're up anyway it's worth a visit.
It was big at the time! Like pictures of Titanic next to Wonder of the Seas.
As long as it's been standing there, you'd think the local authorities would have repaired it by now.
flashback to The Kids in the Hall...
"I'm crushing it"
One of your best ...
I've stood in that spot. (｡•̀ᴗ-)
Just as the sun set...
Also don't recommend a 5 am visit, but go with a tour guide. The internal workings of the building were pretty cool, if you can look past the fact that the whole idea was to make people die in cruel sadistic ways for the amusement of the masses.
