Where's Nifty?! #2

I did think that and took the pictures to show it.

If the sun rises through it, it could be the crack in the A$$ of dawn

It would be a sunset rather than a sunrise. There is a hill in the way which would prevent the sun actually shining in the crack unfortunately.

Thank you Clare.
I was just curious "why" they didn't dig it to show the amphitheater instead to left the hill on it
Thanks a lot for the aerial view, it shows clearly that it's big

There is probably not a lot of the stone left. It will have been reused to build something else I would imagine.
On the other side of Cirencester there is a small stretch of an old Roman wall left, but not much.

Before any building work is done in Cirencester now, they have to have a group of archaeologists in to dig up the ground.
The building you can see in one of the pictures has had several builds done on their land.
Quite a lot of graves were found there, and in the most recent one, a gravestone which is rare.

Pete, I shot some fireworks with the brick and they are just fine...I think. Wide angle may be better but that's just my view

Compared to the lens I use the most, a Nifty IS wide angle!

Woah, I guess it's back around to me! Sweet Hopefully it won't get stolen this time!

I don't have too much going on in July, but I'll be in Vegas the first week in August, so I should get some good stuff there! This should give me an excuse to go explore the area around here too. I just moved here a month ago and haven't really gotten around much.

Been wondering when you would show up!
Start pestering Ram and Ron hopefully you can wake one of them and get Nifty sent to you!!

Great shots Joseph and Claire.
Thanks for the info on the amphitheater....that is really cool.

Haha, I guess I've been a bit inactive lately. Ram sent me a PM, and I replied with my shipping details. We'll see when the lens gets here!

Great.. Nifty has been stalled much too long!

borrowing from last weeks' fences theme:

Oh, that's a good fence shot, Joeseph. Would also have been a great abstract!
