Serpent Column and Obelisk of Theodosius, Istanbul, Turkey.

Vertical panorama of the Serpentine Column and the obelisk of Theodosius I, set in their original Roman relocation place for fifteen centuries in the spina of what once was the circus, or hippodrome of Constantinople and now is Sultanahmet Square. Behind iand between them, the minarets of Hagia Sophia.

The Serpent Column, also known as the Serpentine Column, Plataean Tripod or Delphi Tripod, is an ancient bronze column at the Hippodrome of Constantinople. It is part of a Greek sacrificial tripod, built to commemorate the Greek victory over the Persian Empire at the Battle of Plataea (479 BC). Originally in Delphi, it was relocated to Constantinople by Constantine the Great in 324. The Column was believed to have been forged from the melted swords of the Persian soldiers.

The Obelisk, of Egyptian origin, was carved under Pharaoh Thutmose III, around 1450 BC and originally erected in Karnak.

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
