Info created by Poco a poco - uploaded by Poco a poco - nominated by Basotxerri -- Basotxerri (talk) 17:36, 20 September 2016 (UTC)- Info Hypogeum of the Amphitheatre of El Jem, an archeological site in the city of El Djem, Tunisia. At both sides of this tunnel are located the cells where the beasts for the games were kept. The amphitheatre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, was built around 238 AD, when the modern Tunisia belonged to the Roman province of Africa. It is the third biggest amphiteatre and one of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world with capacity for 35,000 spectators within 148 metres (486 ft) and 122 metres (400 ft) long axes and a unique in Africa.

Comment You're welcome. At least I get to know how it feels to nominate an image and they accept it :-) --Basotxerri (talk) 20:22, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Neutral Yes its cool, but I'm not awed by the overexposed light pools on the floor. No detail there. cart-Talk 18:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)- Support INeverCry 20:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

- Support - I understand W.carter's criticism of this picture at full size, but what a great tunnel picture at full-page size! I think that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts in this case. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:43, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Support Per Ikan, I accept the light pools as an inevitable tradeoff of getting the depth of field right. Daniel Case (talk) 18:47, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Question And what's that one little thing glowing on the floor like it's some sort of leftover prop from one of the Star Wars movies? Daniel Case (talk) 18:47, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
