Episode VII
Colosseo
羅馬鬥獸場是羅馬最大的露天劇場，由Vespasian皇帝興建
於西元前72年，可以輕易容納 5萬人。
當我排隊購買羅馬鬥獸場的門票時，有很多人推撞及打尖，
很多人只是把前面那些在排隊的人推開。沒有控制場面和人群，
有些人就是粗魯和不顧別人的。我對整個安排感到非常失望，
這對所有人都是一個很混亂的情況。這的確是一件在我的行程裡不太喜歡的事。
羅馬鬥獸場應該是羅馬最標誌性建築。儘管入場時相當混亂，
我仍對這建築充滿敬畏的。它必定是當今一個令人印象深刻的建築。
Colosseum (Colosseo) is the Rome’s greatest amphitheatre built by
the Emperor Vespasian in 72 b.C. Easy access to 50,000 people.
While I was queuing up for a ticket at the Colosseum people were pushing and barging
and many people were just pushing in front of those who were queuing.
There was no crowd control and some people were just being rude and inconsiderate.
I was very disappointed with the whole organization and it was a very confusing situation for all.
This was definitely one thing that I didnt like about my trip.
The Colosseum is probably the most iconic building in Rome. Despite the confusion at the entrance gate,
I was still over awed by its construction. It must have been a very impressive building in its day.

A sunset in the Colosseo
I bought the Roma Pass, it was actually really handy. I used it to travel and visit museums for free. With that pass, you didn't have to queue to see the Colosseum either.
ReplyDeleteMy hotel was not far away from the Colosseum. I also took some night photos. Even more amazing, that night was full moon. It made the Colosseum look so bright and magical!
Re: Eiffel Tower / 艾菲尔铁塔 / Menara Eiffel / エッフェル塔
I haven't been to those two restaurants yet.
Maybe they're too touristy!?
Thanks London Caller, may be I should buy the Roma Pass... really have many people there...
ReplyDeleteI will ask you some information next time I visit Europe, thanks!
are there very touristy? may be I will just have a coffee in the top floor...
It's good to know the tip that Londoncaller provides. Indeed it is frustrated to see the chaos in the world famous place. Regardless of that, your awesome shots really give me a peaceful feeling!
ReplyDeleteThanks micki, the Colosseum is still really need to visit,
ReplyDeleteI think if got the Roma Pass will be way more better,
is good to know someone like Lodon Caller that living in Europe! ^.^
羅馬鬥獸場! 我超想去睇 :p
ReplyDeleteWah! Very nice and detailed shots on Colosseo...I like it~ ^^
ReplyDeleteTo Kay,
ReplyDelete我覺得喜歡電影的人就會好鍾意羅馬鬥獸場,
因為好多電影都係這裡拍, 好有歷史價值!
To uLi,
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope when people see the pictures can have some feelings! ^.^
Magnificent piece of architecture. And I like the cute child on her father's shoulders.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mei Teng, I like the pic of the father and the daughter very much too! ^.^
ReplyDelete真是拍得好呢~
ReplyDelete多謝魚仔的欣賞及支持! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThe Roma Pass is definitely worth an invest!
ReplyDeleteI think some European cities also joined the scheme.
I also bought similar Budapest Pass in Hungary.
I think I saw Vienna Pass in Austria too.
u managed to capture the whole circle of the colosseum... besides fish eye lens u also have another wide angle lens? how many hours did u spend here ... until sunset...lovely. & the little girl on the daddy's shoulders - beautiful capture.
ReplyDeleteTo London Caller,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recommend again,
I found the Roma Pass and others Pass websites:
http://www.romapass.it/english/index.html
http://www.parismuseumpass.com/en/home.php
http://www.londonpass.com/
So I can buy them when I visit London or Paris?
Thanks lechua, I also like the picture of father & daughter.
ReplyDeleteI was using the 10-17mm fisheye lens with the 450D,
so it's 16mm in the wide angle... and I also got the 24-70mm F2.8L for the 5DII.
I spent around 1 and a half hours in the Colosseum,
but also more than half an hour for queuing up to get in....
It closed at 5:00, but you can still stay there a bit longer,
to see an early sunset...
Sure, of course, you can. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's good value for money.
I don;t think you need the London Pass because most museums are free here! Including most galleries. I would say nearly 99% of them are free!
Re: The Louvre by Dusk / 卢浮宫的黄昏 / Muzium Louvre pada Waktu Senja / ルーヴル美術館の黄昏
When I first moved down to London, I spent a week at the British Museum to see all their collections. Of course, you can also spend spend a day to walk around the museum very quickly.
I was originally studying in Edinburgh, Scotland. I moved down to London for my work. Not bad, I got £1000 from my company to move.
Thanks for your informations, I'm glad to know more about London and other europe countries from you! ^.^
ReplyDeleteYour company is really good, I think you've been working there for many years... ^.^
終於給我看到了... 太美了!
ReplyDelete呢度用FISHEYE 真係一流!
ReplyDelete好喜歡PIC 22呀!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletecan send me your personal email address ar? mine is wyewli81@gmail.com ^^ Got something about photography to consult you ;)
ReplyDeleteNo problem, I already sent you an e-mail! ^.^
ReplyDeleteu bring around 2 cameras wherever u go travelling? wow that's a some weight... ur luggage must be full of camera equipment only!
ReplyDeleteYes, the camera equipments are getting heavier and heavier...
ReplyDeleteBut it's more convenient for me when I go out with 2 cameras and 2 lenses,
I can give one to my friend...
當年我去鬥獸場見場外有人扮古羅馬士兵的，你有沒有看到呢？
ReplyDelete有呀, 不過扮古羅馬士兵的人都在外面, 而且都好多人圍觀, 所以沒有拍照...
