I've been looking forward to your Rome posts and I'm soooo pleased to be the first to comment!! First impressions - I had no idea of the scale!! The people are totally dwarfed in this. What an amazing place it must have been to gather in and do business. You really got a sense of the place Fogz - maybe we should have a toga party in Leeds as part of the get-together ?? After all, didn't Frankie Howerd say something happened on the way to the forum......

Patti, by saying that this is the Roman Forum, you made it very difficult for us to guess in which city you were, so it's a pity that there are no prizes for guessing. I'm disappointed now, lol. Wonderful image. Perfectly captured. Regards, Cornelius

A wonderful piece of history. I am looking foward to seeing your whole series.

So very nice fogz, I am very jealous.

So this is where you've been hiding for the last few days? What a beautiful place this is and the size of the ruins look so incredibly huge as to what I pictured them to be Patti. Magnificent capture.

Oh good to see you are back again, and judging by this image i can see you had some great weather. I hope you had a very plesant trip overthere ! Thanks for this first posting.

Great capture of these Roman ruins Patti! Hey, this would be a great entry for the urban life contest! But then, I'm sure you probably have dozens of Rome captures that would qualify as well. =)

Lovely shot, minimizing the bustle of tourists.
I like the shadows.

A beauty!

WoW ! Those columns are gigantic. Nice pic Patti. Thanks for sharing.

Rome is a fabulous city I have been there once and the city is mystical we breath history in every corner.
Fabulous shot.

Very nice...now where's the fiveum?

I attended a Forum and we discussed the question at hand and decided it was just fine for you to post several (hundred) Roman Holiday pictures. I was in Rome when I was in the USAF in the 1960's and I don't remember this being that huge. Of course I was bigger then. Good photo, great angle and perspective. I'm looking forward to more Patti.

Love the perspective in this. What a view. I got tired walking around in the image.

I'm amazed too at the scale of those ruins! It's a striking perspective on them. What a beautiful city to visit. I'm looking forward for more Patti. :)

Oh so gorgeous! Great shot Patti! You should be proud of taking it and being there. :)

Never bored looking at your images Patti:)) This is great shot of Roman Forum...gerry

What a Wonderful view..Fantastic capture with Great composition.

This is a great view. I can hear the wings of history :-).
So much has taken place here.

Excellent image and the presentation is perfect. A call this one heck of a good shot. sandi♥

Wow, what a wonderful place! And I bet the weather is at least better than here. I look forward to the hundreds of images.

hmmm, This looks familiar, lol Great capture Pattie. There is something about the Roman Forum that makes it such a magical place. Great post.

I had wondered where you were, Patti; now we know! What a great shot - those columns are colossal!

beautiful capture Patti!
lovely view over Athens ;o)

Very Nice Patti =)

Great shot, Patti. Sure glad you kept the Colosseum in view. It helps me get my bearings on the old rock pile. The shelters weren't there on my last visit. They would have come in handy. I had to keep plastic bags handy for the cameras.

Superb job!

Wow, don't know how I missed this one! Gorgeous!
