Ed - I feel bad that this is the view from your office! lol. The color work is terrific. Is there a slight tilt in the photo? Thad

On top of this being a fabulous look at very ancient times, this picture is a great study in repetition... The aquaduct going its businesslike Roman way, arch after arch, in a straight line... the similar trees (look at their sharp and similar roof-lines) becoming mesmerized by the rigid order of the aquaduct and doing their very best to behave symmetrically as well... and then there is the line of green bushes in the field receiving mind-meld from the aquaduct and finally there is the maverick in the field! Slanted lines?? Well, at least the horizontal boundaries know their place. :) I like the slight vignette effect on this one...softens the rigidity and sharp lines. Beautiful scene, and perfect for an office!

I'm with Tick. I remember it vividly, too. I was amazed by it. You have captured this perfectly. I love the sky, and the bold colors. Very nice, Ed.
