POTD: Tourists Photobomb the Colosseum

From 2024 12 22 Rome

Today's photo-of-the-day is of tourists posing in front of the most photographed ruin the world — the Colosseum in Rome. I don't usually fill these pages with snapshots of tourists posing in front of tourist attractions, but it's important to me this time. You never know when it might be your last such photo.

Two bonus photos are after the jump.

"Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, A time of confidences.
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories; They're all that's left you."
— Bookends Theme by Paul Simon
