Teatro di Marcello (Theatre of Marcellus) - (Selected by GETTY IMAGES)

            .
.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them. 

On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.

These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 20.922+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Thirty two metres, at 08:15am on Friday April 14th 2017, off Via Del Foro Piscario and Via Montanara of Theatrum Marcelli (Teatro di Marcello or the Theatre of Marcellus),  an ancient open air theatre in Rome, Italy. Space for the theatre was created by Julius Caesar, though he was murdered prior to it's construction in 13 BC.

At 111 metres in diameter, this was the largest and most revered theatre in ancient rome and could hold up to 20,000 spectators. Built from Tuff and concrete faced stones in Opus Reticulatum style, it also used Roman Brick, a new introduction from the Greek world. The theatre fell out of use in the fourth century and a rise in the natural street level means that the ground floor is now underground. It is nowadays used for apartments.
