I rescued this picture from a travel one year ago. This beautiful bridge is located in Mérida (Spain) and is the longest of all existing roman bridges. As you can see,it is still used by pedestrian.
Regarding the picture, the frame was a little limited because there are some trees on the right side quite close and I did't want them in the picture. I enhanced the sunset by using a radial filter and several degradated filters. I did a little burn and dodge and "turned on" the lights.
As always, any comment/advice is more than welcome!

El Puente Romano de Mérida (España) es el puente romano mas largo que existe actualmente. Como se puede apreciar en al imagen, aún está en uso (solo peatones).
Estaba un poco limitado para el encuadre de la foto ya que había unos árboles a la derecha que no quería sacar (estaban demasiado cerca). He potenciado el atardecer usando un filtro radial y unos cuantos filtros degradados. Ademas he hecho un pequeño "dodge&burn" y he "encendido" las farolas.
Como siempre, ¡cualquier comentario/consejo es bienvenido!
An ordinary day somewhere in the west of the Roman empire. The temple of Bacchus gets a new supply of sacrificial wine and the promagistrate is auditioning for the upcoming festival in His honor.

And also follow me to see my future shots. I´m active photographer who travels and I will upload photos almost daily. Thank you :)
Pompeii, Italy. This is the wall from which I've been showing you the series of fresco shots. I'll end with this abstract as inspired by my twin brother:-)
Yep, after seeing the amazing new BW run of Roman stuff, I had to make these figures.
Soon they will be with the new helmets, shields, and weaponry.
Taken on my WIP.
Comments and Favs are appreciated!
Found by accident, the Villa Romana del Casale is a large and elaborate Roman villa or palace located about 3 km from the town of Piazza Armerina, Sicily. Excavations have revealed one of the richest, largest, and varied collections of Roman mosaics in the world, for which the site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The photo above is four different shots showing the tiny tiles close-up and distant to show off how elaborate this tile work was... The tile work had borders as if it were a carpet. Look closely at the 3rd image from the left.

The Roman theater of Aspendos is a Roman theater in the ancient city of Aspendos in Turkey. It was built in the 2nd century and is one of the best preserved ancient theaters of the Greco-Roman world.[1]
Description
With a diameter of 96 metres (315 ft), the theatre provided seating for 7,000/13,000 people. The theatre was built in 155 AD by the Greek architect Zenon, a native of the city, during the rule of Marcus Aurelius. It was periodically repaired by the Seljuks, who used it as a caravansary, and in the 13th century the stage building was converted into a palace by the Seljuks of Rum. Technically the structure is a theatre not an amphitheatre, the latter being fully round or oval shaped.
History
The theater was built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180). An inscription lists the brothers Curtius Crispinus and Curtius Auspicatus as commissioners and Zenon as architect. The cavea is partly built against the slope of the hill, which provides a natural foundation. The rest of the stand rests on stone arcades. The cavea has 41 rows of benches, providing seating for 12,000 spectators. The stage wall is completely intact, only the original eight-meter-deep wooden ceiling has disappeared. Around the theater, 58 holes have been found where there used to be poles, which could be used to stretch a large velarium over the grandstand to protect the spectators from the sun.[2]
In the 13th century, the stage building was converted into a palace for the Seljuks.
In modern times, the theater has been restored to its original state. It is an important tourist attraction for the region. In spring and summer, opera and ballet performances are held there.
"The Roman Baths are a well-preserved thermae in the city of Bath, Somerset, England. A temple was constructed on the site between 60-70CE in the first few decades of Roman Britain. Its presence led to the development of the small Roman urban settlement known as Aquae Sulis around the site. The Roman baths, which were used for public bathing, were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th Century CE. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the original Roman baths were in ruins a century later. The area around the natural springs was redeveloped several times during the Early and Late Middle Ages." - from Wikipedia.
This summer I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
This is the Roman Amphitheatre in St. Albans. Such an interesting place to visit. I'm very into Roman life, history and buildings so visiting here was awesome!

A collection of ancient Roman bust/portraits. The pieces on display are fairly uniform chronologically (between 150 to 220 AD) and were discovered at the 'Baths of Elagabalus" (See image at : flic.kr/p/2mQb2wH).
Seen at the Temple of Romulus in the Roman Forum.
