The Colosseum

Not much to say about the Colosseum that the pictures don't say themselves. It's cold and dark and falling apart in places where modern man has reinforced and re-reinforced. The barbaric tales make you shudder in disgust, yet you're in awe of the very same people who built a structure that lasted 2000 years. For me, the Colosseum is a place that represents the furthest extremes of what humans are capable of - from the darkest atrocities to the most magnificent creations.
