Scenic Cycle Four Round 5 – Fall of Civilizations

One of my favorite podcasts (and YouTube channel, and now even a book) is named Fall of Civilizations and it covers the ending of the great ancient empires of antiquity, around the world. From Roman Britain to the Mayans to the Khmer empire, you can learn a lot about each of these lost peoples from the ruins they left behind.

So for this round, I asked our photographers to go out and find some ruins and take a picture in “black and white” – which in ENTM Gpose counts as the first four filters, sepia or monochromatic. These filters present special challenges in lighting, but thankfully the new engine allows for better light scattering on far surfaces, letting us see more detail in the shadows.

We have eight entries this week. Please look at each of the photographs below, and then vote for your favorite using the embedded Google poll.
