Roman Ruins - Jerash/Jordan

[Peniole]

I haven't been on here for a while, busy last few months with no photography :x so the following pictures are me waaaay out of practice, any and all comments/critique welcome.

Finally got a couple of weeks off and immediately left on a trip, these are from back home. In Jerash are the ruins of a once huge roman city.

An overview of the city

Unfortunately the main amphitheater was closed and undergoing some type of restoration, it is still currently in use for a yearly music festival, along with other smaller ones.

Some of the carving detail...

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Anty

Long time no see.

Yeah, when I saw on the main board that you had posted some pics, I stopped by as it's been a while since I've seen you post! Hope all is well.

Graduated. Now I have to face the real world Got a postdoc position doing some more research, same institute I did my grad work in, so not much of a transition. I just hope I get more time (and money) to travel and practice my photography.

Thanks for asking Anty

Congrats on the position! Always nice to land something quickly. You've had a good start to your travels with this Jerash trip...hope there's lots more travel in your future.

Thanks Anty first time back home in 5 years.

Man, that's a long time to be away!! It must stir up a lot of feelings and memories to return and see all the inevitable changes.

 

[Peniole]

It was a long time to be away, some things have changed and some have thankfully stayed the same. Good food hasn't changed for one
