Bridges, Arches, Columns, Tunnels and Walls

Roman baths, Germany

Roman temple at the Archäologischer Park Xanten, Germany



And a sewage canal there

When at university, I did some excavations there as part of the archaeological course/certificate. But honestly: it wasn't my fault that the amphitheatre is without columns!

Hadrian's Wall - known locally as the Roman Wall - in the North-East of England.

Mmm, Castel sant' Angelo.. (I think - I'm 99% sure)

That is right by where the bridge with all the angels is that I posted a bunch of pages back..

I need to get back there (fat chance) and go through the castello; for some reason we went in but didn't explore. Maybe it was ticket prices or maybe we were wanting to get coffee and a dolce instead.. that was on the first trip, and on my other trips there, I always passed it by on my way to somewhere else.

Hadrian exhibition at the British Museum (2008)... booked the tickets online weeks in advance, so I didn't have to queue up

Oh, c'mon, it's ok to be clumsy and knock stuff over.. happens to all of us sometime.

Like this!

Now there's an excellent reply!
Clever you found that..

Hannover, Germany

I guess that's real. Are there no brown leaves above?

It does have its surreal side, I am uncertain if it has been graphically altered or not

Same alley with brown leaves



(It's an alley in the "Georgen Garden", which is one of the parks in the Herrenhäuser Gardens in Hannover, Germany.)

I tend to think it is not only real but very recent.

The upper leaves still look lighter. Odd same exact size photo too. They are both drawn from the same original.

Thanks!

The Grenzübergangsstelle Marienborn, or border crossing Marienborn was the largest and most important border crossing on the inner German border during the division of Germany.
Between 1972 and 1974, the GDR erected a new control point on a 35 ha field situated on a hill near Marienborn, about 1.5 km east of the border. The control point was staffed with up to 1,000 passport control, customs and border police employees. The buildings were linked with an underground tunnel system through which military or police units could reach the control point quickly and in secrecy.

Dover Castle ramparts.

In the first months after the erection of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961, about 600 refugees got away through the city's canals and the subway system but, by the end of 1961, East German border troops had sealed off access completely.

It was then that people started digging their way to freedom via "escape tunnels".
