John Oram's photos with the keyword: Hippodrome

The access entrance to Bristol Hippodrome in Denmark Street. Good grief! Geotagging elsewhere is known for its inaccuracy but here on ipernity is normally pretty good but three pictures in a row, of which this is the third, have come up with some odd results. This picture I geotagged quite accurately, correctly down the road from Wongs Chinese Restaurant. They are not co-located and are on opposite sides of the road and not facing. TZ70_2_P1000005E

Centuries of history are preserved at Caesarea Maritima in a specially administered National Park. I reflected at length after a very enjoyable visit but could not decide whether or not I was entirely comfortable with what has been done there. Many historic sites present their remains with some sort of museum or interpretation centre nearby. Caesarea has been developed to incorporate a range of attractive shops and restaurants in architecturally sympathetic styles. The whole is a tourist and leisure destination with the ruins seeming, in places, almost decorative or incidental. On balance though, the many layers of history associated with the location made it a memorable visit. The action in the hippodrome must have been quite spectacular. 200_P1030064
