.....the left foot of the colossal statue of the Emperor Constantine, which once stood outside his basilica in the Roman Forum. The Capitoline Museum in Rome houses the broken parts of the statue, including his head (with eyes looking heavenward), part of an arm, and a hand with index finger pointing up. ...I was hoping to find this part statue too, which was posted recently by my friend Kostas here. thanks to Kostas and Paul, whose photographs inspired me to make the visit myself!

I won't try to say anything clever. I wouldn't want to end up with foot in mouth. I think it's great that you looked up this up after you said you would. You did good. Now where's the right foot?

How cool is that! I just wrote an essay about Constantine which talked about that statue and so I find this image very exciting. Thanks so much for sharing this Patti.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
Your title threw me way off base Patti- I was expecting to see 2 lambs frolicking in a field for some reason LOL. So glad they have found another way to exhibit these massive parts of Constatine. Nicely done.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Wouldn't be easy find a shoe of his size.
Great capture, well done

Whoa, the huge scale of this foot gave me quite a start! LOL It looks so lifelike. I love the composition too and the terra colours. Stunning image Patti. :)

I remember this. The picture can be quite decieving about the dimensions of the foot until you stand somone beside it. It is hugh.

Why not visit my Gallery.
A suitably ignominious end to the arrogance of this emperor! And a great photo of an unusual subject.

My dear friends! I hope you forgive me for not commenting and answering that much recently. Thats because of the weather situation here, that takes all my energy. I promise to do better as soon as there will be more sun again. Smile
