Puente Romano de Merida. The Emperor Augustus set aside some land in western Spain to house the victorious veterans of his legions, particularly Legio V and Legio X. The new town was given the name of Emerita Augusta (today’s Mérida, Spain). The city grew and prospered, eventually becoming the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. Roman roads connected Emerita Augusta to all parts of Hispania. During the imperatorship of Trajan, the Romans built a sturdy bridge across the Río Guadiana which still carries pedestrian traffic. The Puente Romano is 792 meters (2598 feet) long, making it the longest Roman bridge still in existence.

The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida, Spain). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. One of the most famous and visited landmarks in Spain, the Roman Theatre of Mérida is regarded as a Spanish cultural icon and was chosen as one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. It was built as part of an entertainment complex together with the Amphitheatre of Mérida. Nowadays both are part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, which is one of the largest and most extensive archaeological sites in Spain. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.

Merida, the heroine from the Disney-Pixar movie, "Brave." Damned good likeness to the character; she even had three bear cub stuffed toys with her.
Tech stuff: Rendered clouds in Photoshop and used a chalk brush at 37% opacity to gently erase – bit-by-bit –the area around Merida. At the angle I took her photo from, you could see the chain-link fences in the woods behind her and another person sitting on far left of the other bench. The clouds were a compromise to 1) make it look like she's in a misty area, perhaps the mists of time (yeah, artistic license b.s.) and 2) hide the elements I didn't want in the picture.
