iPhone Friday

Let’s go back to a photo from a 2017 trip to Rome, specifically a classic shot outside the Colosseum.

As I looked for an image to use for this week’s installment, I came across some shots from our trip to Rome in 2017. The amusing part is that I was almost misled by the Mac OS Photo app, as it bundled my photos shot with my Fuji camera with my iPhone shots. Of course, metadata saved me!

So here’s a view in Rome…

Roma Classica

Of course, this is a classic tourist shot outside the Colosseum. What I like about this image is the sense of scale as there are people visible on the second level on the left in the image.

This also reminds me to go back through all of these vacation images to put together a more consistent set of posts about these locales. In the mean time take a look at a post from 2017, ‘A Walk across the Forum – pt.3‘which happens to be my most successful post ever thanks to WordPress highlighting it.

ATAT in Colosseum FTW!

For this week, you get a shot taken yesterday…

ATAT in the Colosseum

Yes, that is an All-Terrain Armored Transport (ATAT) lumbering through the Colosseum! The gladiators of the Rebel Alliance have left their mark on this vehicle, but have not prevented it from taking center stage!

I enjoy collecting custom creations of this ilk, especially those from the fertile mind of Richard Page of umetoys. As I received this ATAT graffiti on Thursday, I immediately saw an opportunity to photograph it in my Lego Colosseum.

Do you have items that you collect and pose in unusual situations? It’s fun isn’t it? Have a great weekend!
