  1. Is it just me, or don't you wish that your life would become a fictional tale and you would be swept back to the day where these structures were actually being used? I have these fantasies all the time in ruins, castles and such. Of course, I'd probably then be captured and hung for having a bitchy look on my face but there you go.

  9. So beautiful! It's so strange to see modern people among the ruins, like we shouldn't be able to touch them or something.

  10. Hi Caite,

    This is a fantastic series of shots, telling a story all their own.

    I some ways it is obviously good that we are allowed to get up close and personal with some of these ancient icons, but it also seems a shame that regardless of how careful we are our mere presence is a contributing factor to their erosion and decay.

    A dilemma, but nonetheless beautiful!!

  15. Your close up shots are fantastic! It's amazing those friezes have stood up so well against the elements. When you retire, Caite, you could easily become a travel photographer.
