Photography 101: Day Five ..Solitude & the Rule of Thirds
Learning of the hundreds of thousands of living creatures who were slaughtered for entertainment troubled me deeply. I sought a quiet place.
In the slaughterhouse of love, they kill
only the best, none of the weak or deformed.
Don’t run away from this dying.
Whoever is not killed for love is dead meat.

I saw The Arena of Nemes in France… I knew I had seen something similar.

I continue to have mixed feelings about the Coliseum. I took the time to read the wonderfully done displays and information and the place was just a brutal killing field.
I did love the fact it was engineered so that they could flood entire portions of it and have full size ships do mock battles.
Best to you.

That first image is haunting and beautiful. I wonder who else sought a moment of peace in those towering shadows?

Me too. I included the other photos so the viewer could get a sense of what a busty place it is and that I really needed to explore deeper into the structure to find some solitude.
