Argh, the forecast said sun, but yesterday was mostly drenched. So here's another peek at London and Roman ruins under
Guidhall Art Gallery. London's major Roman amphitheatre was lost for centuries, until these ruins were found in 1988. (After gladiatorial games, the dead were thrown in the Thames.)

It's good to know that we can still find Roman ruins so many centuries later!
Very atmospheric image, what a gruesome piece of history though!
Look at those glow-in-the-dark figures!

En España también tenemos una gran cantidad de ruinas, anfiteatros, iglesias, viaductos, calzadas, edificios civiles… en muchos de los casos en un estado de conservación muy bueno.
En cuanto a la fotografía esta muy bien pensando en
que es un interior y la luz juega su papel.

Can you just imagine what they'd find if they dredged the rivers in most major cities, oh la! doesn't bear thinking about :)) it's been pouring all day here as well Lulu, bit hard to get out and take photos, but I really love this weather !
And they called it a civilization. Sheesh!
Ha! Good to know that weathermen all over the world don't know what they're talking about... Very interesting shot!
amazing huh?!!
I love the glow people.
Wonderful labyrinthal view!
Nice image.
The history jumps up sometimes - interesting times in London
Fantastic! Not only for the history but also for the display and your gorgeous shot!
Oh my, those gladiatorial games were brutal... It's amazing though to be able to walk among centuries old ruins. Makes me wonder about the treasure trove of history buried under our feet just waiting for us to find it!
Back to London! Loving your pictures of this city, Lulu!
This picture is so surreal and fascinating! There is so much in it; the history and modern style embrace each other so beautifully.
The sort of place I'd find tremendously appealing!
The more I hear about Romans the less I like them. Of course, they are our cultural ancestors. :-(
Cool shot!
Really! Love Roman ruins. I found some in Sydney a while ago. http://sydneyemeraldcity.blogspot.com.au/2010/04/roman-ruins-in-sydney.html
