[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The photo is taken in Lepsis Magna ruins in Khums. Khums is approximately 70 km from Tripoli, the capital city of Libya. These ruins are one of the most famous historical places in Libya. The structure in the photo is the Arch of Emperor Septimus Severius from 203 AD. On the structure there are some other sculptures and very good art works.

I am trying to make a travelogue from some other photos from this region but I do not know how to make. So I will send them one by one. :-)

I have just made some cropping on the photo and increased saturation.

Aykut,
Cok guzel bir kare olmus. Baktikca o tarihin icine girecekmisim gibi bir duyguya kapiliyorum. Derin ve gizemli. Basarilarinin devamini dilerim. Tebrikler.

Merhaba Aykut,
Enclosing the perspective leading to the far end arch in the foreground one is a clever framing idea, looks optically very nice..
Have a nice week end,
JEan-Yves

I like the framing of the long road to the other arch thorugh the middle of the picture. Also nice that there is little distraction as the colours are uniform
Cheers
Ian
