Columnal Architecture

Image by wenzday01
This kind of looks like a (fake) tilt-shift despite not being so. There’s just something about the angle, the light and the focus that makes me think that way.

***

From Wikipedia: The Colosseum or Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.

Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian’s reign (81–96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian’s and Titus’s family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).

Originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It remained in use for nearly 500 years with the last recorded games being held there as late as the 6th century. As well as the traditional gladiatorial games, many other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building eventually ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such varied purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian shrine.

Inside the Colosseum II

After posting a photo yesterday of the Colosseum that looked like a (fake) tilt-shift despite not being so, I kind of see the same with this one. It probably has to do with the composition and how all the elements fall together.

mezquita arches

Image by shapeshift
The Mezquita is a 10th century Moorish Islamic house of prayer. The site is older than the building, having been host to a Roman pagan temple, the cathedral church of St Vincent of Saragossa built by the Catholic bishops under Visigothic rule, and finally the Mezquita itself. It was the most magnificent of the more than 1,000 mosques in the city, and was at one time the second largest mosque in the Muslim world. Within is a Renaissance cathedral, built by the Christian conquerors in the early 13th century. Cordoba, Spain.

What are some good Christian dating sites?

Question by iluvmypets: What are some good Christian dating sites?
I’m a Christian looking for a fellow Christian who shares my values. Are there any really good Christian dating sites out there? I’ve checked out some free Christian dating sites but wasn’t pleased with those, so I am starting to think that I’ll have to pay membership fees to join a good Christian dating site, and I’m willing to do that. What are some reputable Christian dating sites?

Best answer:

Answer by humynism
Don’t do it. Dating sites don’t work. For evidence, go to POF and see how long those same old profiles have been there…years and years those men have been looking for women. And they’re still fishing!

Taylorville IL – Christian County Courthouse, North and West Facades (2008)
christian travel sites
Image by myoldpostcards
A view of the north (left) and west sides of the beautiful Christian County Courthouse on the Square in Taylorville, in Central Illinois. Completed in 1902, this is the third courthouse to serve Christian County. In the foreground is a reminder of an earlier courthouse that stood here. The statue shows Abraham Lincoln and a pig, and commemorates the day in the 1850s that Lincoln argued a case in the courthouse, some pigs under the floorboards started squealing, and Lincoln asked the judge for a "writ of quietus" to shut them up.

Taylorville is the seat of Christian County, and is located about 25 miles SE of Springfield. The population of Taylorville was 11,427 at the 2000 census.

For more images of Taylorville, visit my "Taylorville IL" (Set).

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here’s a quick index to my Flickr site:

Central Illinois (except Springfield)
: Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I’ve photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.

Springfield, Illinois
: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.

Beyond Central Illinois
: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.

In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I’ve put together:

Automobile Photograph Collection
: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)

Barbers & Barber Shops
: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.

Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!
: Included topics range from man’s first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
