A little flash back to our Rome trip - I just love the patina on the buildings in this beautiful city!
The magnificent Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy.
Built of concrete and sand it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum.
Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name.
The precious heritage from Roman Empire is an astonishing structure, which makes your jaw drops when you realize it was constructed without any heavy equipment.

Rome, shoe painter in Trastevere.
April 2017.
Shot with a Minolta TC-1 35mm film camera, Kodak Tri-X 400 in Diafine, exposed here at ISO 1250.
Developed 5min+5min with 10 sec. agitation every minute, to reduce bromide drag.
Scanned at an equivalent 8000 dpi with a stitching/macro setup and resized to 24 Mpxls.
This was my first test roll with this legendary film/developer combo, I shot this scene straight into the light to test the dynamic range and compensating effect of the two bath developer.
Highlight control is superb but shadows are very thin as expected for such an high ISO setting.
