Colosseum Nightscape, Rome, Italy, 1970
Photograph by Winfield I. Parks, Jr
"Memory-haunted arena of the ancients, Rome’s 1,900-year-old Colosseum saw bloody gladiatorial duels, battles with wild beasts, and mock naval engagements on its flooded floor. Christians banned the spectacles, and in later centuries presented church dramas here. Time, earthquakes, and stone scavengers took their toll. Still, the treasured monument survived and again serves Rome—as a traffic circle. Cars at evening rush hour create streaks of light in this time exposure, which also captures horse-drawn carriages waiting at curbside for tourists."
—From "When in Rome," June 1970, National Geographic magazine

“从古人的竞技场捕捉回忆,罗马1900年历史的圆形大剧场中的角斗,和野兽的较量,在地面灌水模拟海战,基督徒禁止眼镜(?),此后的几个世纪中在此上演宗教戏剧,时光流逝,地震、腐蚀,带走它曾经的光采。但是作为财富的纪念碑它幸存下来并再次服务罗马-成为了交通转盘,长时间曝光记录下了晚高峰时的车流灯光拉出的线条,也抓住了道旁等待游客的马车“ 。
