December 24th, 2005 - Rome

The Colosseum in Rome is probably one of the most famous buildings in the world and I had the opportunity to visit it in December 2005. It's a great building, it was a beautiful day and when you look around and take in the scope of the structure you can't help but feel like you've stepped into a part of history.

I took loads of photos of The Colosseum that day but this was my favourite, in fact it's one of my favourite photos in general. I just thought it was such a striking sight, looking out to the ground from one of the corridors under the tiers. It must have been quite an experience to walk out from there when there were over fifty thousand people in the seats...

August 8th, 2005 - London

On July 7th 2005 a series of bombs went off in London. Three went off on London Underground trains at around 8.50am while another went off approximately an hour later on a bus. In the end 52 people were killed and some 700 were injured.

I was over there a month after and the thing to know about London is that it's a pretty pragmatic place. The city has been bombed quite a few times over the years and the impression I got was that life goes on...

So I Figured I May As Well Have A Place To Talk About My Photos...

Well why not?

Actually you can see all these photos here on my flickr page, but I never really talk about them there... it's more like a gallery.

Anyway, I've decided to start at the start of my flickr gallery and go from there... I hope you enjoy!
