A view of the Colosseum almost by evening. The shadows were gathering fast; the crowd of tourists was as noisy as ever and I was trying to take a meaningful capture of the amphitheater- something different from the usual, something telling at least a part of the story of the place; something which was not too similar to a messy, unwilled group shot. The paragraph of the story of the Colosseum I have chosen is interesting - the shot... well, I hope it is worth the effort. The fact leaves me gaping every time I think about it: for centuries the inhabitants of Rome (and the Popes as well) has been using the Colosseum as a travertine quarry at their fingertips. They took away stone upon stone from the amphitheater, to reuse them in the construction of other buildings. In our modern times we stress a lot the issue of recycling, but our sense of history makes us preserving historical heritage, while recycling our contemporary waste. However, so much of what we build and produce - even our architecture - will not be so long-lasting to be part of the history of our posterity :-(.
