Thanks - I used an infrared lens filter which blocks out most visible light waves, and allows the camera to capture wavelengths not visible to the human eye. The original photo is very red.

Unfortunately my setup won't pull out much color, so they are usually monochromatic, and I add a tint during post-processing.
Shooting this photo in black and white was a brillant idea. It truly gives it an ethereal quality...hauntingly beautiful! : )

Wow. @nick, the ancient Romans had tile mosaic floors. I betcha this is original to the building.

Incredible. Amongst all this rubble and destruction, there sits a beautiful staircase. Old world craftsmanship built that.

Are those marble stairs?
So sad...I can just picture those poor little children going 'round and 'round.

Nice detail in the ceiling. It looks like there was a sprinkler system.

I agree with Bill. It looks rather swimming pool-ish.
