The Ruins of Philadelphia, a photo from Amman, North

Photographer's Note

These are the remainings of the Temple of Hercules on the Citadel hill of Amman, which is said to have been constructed under the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius who reigned from 161-180 AD. There are three fingers of the left hand of a giant statue of Hercules at the nearby museum.

When I saw your title I laughed a little. I thought, "Boy! I know the economy in the United States is bad right now, but Philadelphia looks terrible!"

The rule of thirds is applied quite well here. I appreciate the inclusion of facts in your notes. The trees offer a sense of new life in a ruin.

Good shot!
