Week 10-Arena in France

I took this picture when I went on a trip through the Southern Part of France. This picture is of an ancient arena where they used to have gladiator type games. I choose this picture this week because I thought the light on the arch ways brought out some beautiful texture. Additionally, I thought the light coming through the bars looks a lot like an effect a gobo would have. Because Kelsey and I decided to use gobos in her final project, I thought this picture was especially relevant. The texture of the archways and the patterns created by the bars gives me this feeling of severity and almost brutality. The lighting of this picture seems almost to capture the history of this place.
