More of the Colosseum

Hmmm, so here I am again with more photos of the Colosseum...more of its outside ['more' not refering to the number of pics but to how much of the amphiteater can be seen in the pic] and some photos of its inside. This post has too many photos...but since I've already uploaded them...

Do click on images to enlarge.



In the evening...
[Sorry about the noise in the photo. *Glares at camera*]




I had to be a good distance away to fit the whole of it [well almost] into the photo. I can't decide whether I hate the lampost or like it, but for better or worse, there it is blocking the way >.<

Now for some photos inside the Colosseum




I was told the remake of the wooden platform was quite recent.






















I quite like this shot. I think the window frames the image pretty well.



This little treasure I found on one of the walls of the Colosseum.



And to the exit we go...

I must say it wasn't that easy taking shots because of the really strong sunlight. I couldn't see anything on my camera screen. So it was pretty much shoot and hope for the best. I have some photos that I quite like but are partly ruined by the over-exposure. I've no idea how to fix that. Any ideas?
