Another great view of this ancient place. Here the clear blue sky helps to increase the beauty of this place. I like the composition trying to show as many arches as possible. Once again, these "small" tourists increases the real dimensions of the basilica. I don't like to cath tourists in my shots, but sometimes it is impossible, here, they are very small, and helps to give information, so it does not matter their presence. (this part remember me to the Volubilis ruins, I will show some view of them soon).
Best regards Kevork.

Kevork, thats a nice shot and wonderful place to be. I love shots which feature beautiful skies.. wish there were some clouds to add to the beauty. OK, but i would have liked the shot more if there were some shadows on the stony structures.. also a little cropping from the bottom would add to the feel..
