Blue Hour in the Eternal City - a photo on Flickriver

The Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre, in Rome, seen through the light trails of a long exposure across the traffic of the Piazza del Colosseo. By bringing these two very different elements together, I was trying to emphasize the contrast between the ancient and modern worlds that is so much a part of everyday life in the "Eternal City."

Thanks very much for stopping by. If you would like to see more, or if you are interested in buying fine art prints or wall art or licensing any of my work, please visit: www.RobertCrossPhotography.com
