Italy - Rome - 200 sec over Temple of Saturn at Forum Romanum
The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum), sometimes known by its original Latin name, is located between the Palatine hill and the Capitoline hill of the city of Rome. It is the central area around which the ancient Roman civilization developed. Citizens referred to the location as the "Forum Magnum" or just the "Forum". The oldest and most important structures of the ancient city are located in the forum, including its ancient former royal residency the Regia and the surrounding complex of the Vestal virgins.
Those columns belong to the Temple of Saturn (Latin: Templum Saturni or Aedes Saturnus). It is a monument to the agricultural deity Saturn that stands at the western end of the Forum Romanum in Rome. It represents the oldest surviving structure in that area, having been established between 501 and 498 BC.
Weather during the shoot was rather dull, however I was really glad to see few clouds on the sky, so I could finally try my new ND long exposure filter (B+W 110 (3.0) SH NDx1000; with a light intensity reduction of ten f-stops). It allowed me to have exposure over 200sec and turned the whole scene in very unusual result.
