    The red barn in the background positively ruins that picture.

    Hey - it's not like I was blaming you for erecting a red barn in the vicinity of an historic amphitheater.

    Don't be sore because I called you on your bullshit in the other thread...

    Much like the other thread, you fail to grasp the message.

    My post was not to criticize the photography (which was fantastic, by the way,) of this historical site - it was meant as an indictment of whomever decided to place such a visceral atrocity to the property itself (the barn itself.)

    Pull your head out of your ass long enough to realize a subtle compliment when it's issued, will ya?

    So do they just leave it open like that? Just in case you have a couple of extra Jews and Lions laying around? That's pretty neat if they do.

    Especially if you were in HighSchool.

    "oh, you want to fight? Ok, meet me at the ampitheater at 3 o'clock."

    That would be sweet.

    A martyred saint?

    Landmarks were great I remember meeting at the 50 yard line but not to fight. Just a place to go. Those High School fights though what a laugh it was part fight part friend loyalty. Your friends say you kicked his ass as witnesses and his friends say the opposite. To win the objective side over you needed to blacken an eye or something obvious like that. :)

    Lord have Mercy! I have FINALLY seen the Amphitheater with mine own eyes!

    Seriously, though - was I wrong? Doesn't it look sooooo much fucking better without that goddamn barn in the picture?

    I'm just pissed off that none of you douchebags laughed at the McDonalds in the background. I guess I will quit being so subtle.

    :(

    OK Phatty I actually did laugh when I seen the "MC'DO" as the French call it,and the guy in the painting is actually in it 3 times he is the guy standing behind the guy kneeling ,then the one being used as a pin cushion,and then he appears in the box below,he is buried right infront of the painting which is why there is iron railing to the right in front,ILL post a pic after a while.

    and this is him

    Pffft!

    Not impressed! needs to have the apartment, the other buildings removed and the trees that just do not fit the whole theme then lets get some chariots, gladiators, hot dog, and beer vendors dressed of course in authentic roman apparel. Then we will see.

    Oh and lets get the handrail out of there also.

    Nice try though. :cool:
