For Wordless Wednesday and blog hops various!

I was thinking the other day about all the Roman ruins I’ve visited in recent years. I’ve no idea why but it gave me an idea for this week’s Wordless!
Click pics to enlarge
Let’s start where it started, Rome!
‘
Inside the Colosseum. It was crowded at the time but Photoshop helped me make it look as if I had the place to myself!
‘
Next up, Volubilis in Morocco.
‘
.
Now we’re off to Turkey starting in Phasellis
Then to Ephusis
‘
.
Even the Romans need the toilet now and again!
.
Time now to head of to the lovely Greek island of Samos.

Close to home now, this is Pevensey castle 8 miles from me!

…and that concludes our bit of Roman roaming!

The Rome pics brought back beautiful memories of our travel there. Nice pics Keith
Thanks so much. I so enjoyed my time there too.
Loved these pics Keith. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Sadje, my pleasure
🙏🏼
Beautiful photos from my beloved Rome! We haven’t been n over 19 years, since we became dads. I need to go back!
You must, there’s nowhere else quite like it!
Beautiful photos my brother was there last week he said he oved it 🙂
Have a rometastic week Keith 👍
I bet he did Steve! Cheers.
I visited Ephesus many years ago. It was pretty amazing. The photos brought back happy memories.
It’s incredible to think we walked along streets once trodden by Anthony and Cleopatra!
Wonderful! The Romans built quality and a lot of it has lasted a long time.
I pass my local Roman relic regularly and still find it hard to believe those walls were built 2000 years ago.
When yuo think about their means of travel, it really is quite astounding! Great post!
It was, no machinery either. Amazing.
Wonderful places I would love to explore, especially Rome.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Rome should be near the top of everyone’s wish list, not just for the ruins, but for the Vatican and so much more besides. Thanks, Sandee.
Those are remarkable places in history, I would love to travel there one day!
Happy Wordless!
Thank you. They are so worth visiting.
Beautiful shots of such amazing ruins!
Thanks so much. They are so photogenic!
That’s a fabulous tour. You have seen so many Roman ruins.
Thanks so much. I didn’t realise how many until I compiled these pictures!
Beautiful photos. I have been to Rome several times and once to Ephesus. I have also seen those communal toilets and wonder if they sat there for a natter to pass the time!
They are a bit public, I guess they must have been! Thanks, Jackie.
Beautiful and impressive ruins! The Romans were truly master builders of their time.
The fact that so many are still standing after 2000 years is amazing.
When I was 15 I toured Rome and saw so many gorgeous ruins. Wonderful photos!
They are incredible, everyone should go there!
You saw all the famous ruins! Photoshop can be a life saver! If Samos is the island closest to Athens, we have been there, but I can’t remember the views you posted. Maybe we spent our time at the beach, the restaurants, and the stores, haha:)
Samos is very small and not at all commercialised which is why I like it so much. The Roman ruins are in the town of Pythagorian, the birthplace of Pythagoras, and there’s only one flight in and out a week from the UK!
You went directly! We were in Athens, and Samos (if I remember it correctly) was one of our day trips.
These pics are so beautiful. Air-brushing crowd is digital holocaust LOL.
I guess it is! It took me two days to get rid of them all, but I think it was worth it!
I have mixed feelings about certain types of photoshopping but in this case I’m happy you went through the work. Seeing the detail on the Colosseum was spectacular. I’ve never been to the Old World and enjoyed all your ruin photos. I would love to see those ruins one day in person. Alana ramblinwitham
