Pictures of The Colosseum in Rome, Italy

I'm continuing to edit, caption, and keyword pictures from my last trip through Rome. The good news is I'm half-way done with Rome. The bad news is I still have a backlog of 4,000+ images (not all from Rome) in my digital workflow left to go!

Here are some recent selects of the Colosseum:

Some of my favorite Colosseum shots though are still from my first trip to Rome in 2004. Here are a couple shots where I first tried to eliminate all the clutter, traffic, period Roman Soldiers posing for pictures (only when paid of course), trinket salesmen, tour group salesmen, and all the other tourist madhouse "local color" that surrounds the entrance to the Colosseum:
