Colosseum in Rome Under a Full Moon by Weezilou

Colosseum in Rome Under a Full Moon

Ok, I couldn’t get both in the same photo, so this famous Roman amphitheatre, next to the Arch of Constantine, won out. I did get some pretty moonlit pictures with Trajan’s Column just a short walk away. We’d spent the day out, taking a bus to the Borghese Gardens before returning to walk through more of the city. We ended the day with a view to this iconic location. Everything looks beautiful under a full moon!
Wonderful shot of such a iconic location. I love all the little people walking past. Really gives it a sense of scale

This is spectacular! I love the Colosseum. I think that that is where I watched a televised show of Il Divo perform Hallelujah that was so beautiful it practically made my heart jump out of my chest. You can watch it on you tube too. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pictures from your trip.

@toast Closing up shop at the end of a l-o-n-g day but enjoyed all the comments you've just left about the trip. Sounds as though we've traveled many of the same paths. If you take Betty to Pompeii one day, be sure not to miss Herculaneum...we found it to be more intimate and still including more artistic detail. Of course both were just amazing when you consider all the history!
December 1st, 2010  
oh nice, would love to visit Rome.
December 1st, 2010  
This is absolutely georgeous! I feel like I'm getting to go by looking at your pictures. Wonderful!
December 2nd, 2010
