A story of – Descent.
I have just returned from Rome, and a trip back in history to the once lively old seaport of Rome, Ostia Antica. This was ”the mouth” of the River Tiber, but due to silting it now lies 3 kilometres from the sea. The theatre, once double the hight of these remains – is still, today, a beauty. Three hours of walking through the whole area of magnificently preserved buildings with frescoes and mosaics, listening to birds singing and the old stones telling their silent story – is time well spent.

He’s really sweet, yes – thank you!
Perfect for the challenge! I was in Rome so long ago, I barely remember anything. Time to return 🙂
You could always return to Rome…!
Beautiful.
I love old theatres, Roman and Greek. And – even newer ones…but the open air theatres were so special.

Thank you.
Lovely photo for the challenge, Ann Christine. Rome is so awesome. 🙂
It is – I guess you love it as much as I do. Style and beauty together with history – what more is there to be asked for?
Have been and just loved it. Looking forward to more photos from that fabulous city!
Yay – It’s gorgeous, Rome. I have been there twice before, but lost all pictures when our PC broke down…Now I have new ones!
What a pleasant surprice to see this picture, I live in Ostia !! 🙂 You were lucky as we had an amazing October.
Wow! Had I known I could have met you!
We never went to Ostia – we hadn’t seen nearly enough of Rome itself. And we knew it was always likely we could never return. Whereas you Europeans ! – lucky bastards ! [grin]
