Photo Friday: The Dying Gaul

The Dying Gaul at Rome's Capitoline Museums

It’s Friday once again and therefore time for another beautiful Rome photo from Susan Sanders.

Thanks to Susan’s photographic talents, today we see the Dying Gaul through the eyes of an attentive museum visitor. The sculpture, one of the highlights of Rome’s Capitoline Museums, is a Roman copy of a Greek Hellenistic sculpture and portrays a Celtic warrior valiantly meeting his death.

For more of Susan’s photos, visit her photo blog, Rome With A View.

At the Edge of the World

Antartica Photo by Fabiano Busdraghi

After years of working in the fields of Physics and Oceanography, Italian scientist Fabiano Busdraghi left his scientific career to dedicate himself to photography. This year he’s been exhibiting the photos he took over the course of two trips to Antarctica: the first trip took him to Drake’s Passage while the second led him to the southern edge of the Sea of Weddell.

The photos are simply stunning: the abstract shapes of ice and water seem almost to be metaphysical visions - just the way you’d want the very edge of the earth to look. Enjoy these and see more at his online gallery.
