My photo collage shows four images of Roman-era clear-glass cups painted with colourful enamel decoration depicting animals from the Roman Arena. Known as ‘circus cups’, fourteen of which have been found in richly-furnished ‘princely’ graves in Denmark. Dated AD 200s. The top two images show two sides of the same cup. Top left: a brown lion with shaggy mane, its front and rear legs outstretched as if running at full speed. Top right: a green spotted leopard. Out of shot, a blue goat is being hunted down by the lion and the leopard. Bottom left: fragmentary glass cup decorated with a light brown lion with shaggy mane. Nose and lips outlined in black. Bottom right: image of a gladiator with green leggings and blue shield, and in front of him a large brown bear.

The image captures a serene forest stream. Sunlight filters through the trees, creating shimmering reflections on the water's surface and illuminating the moss-covered rocks that line the stream bed. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty.

Forests are not my thing usually, I don't like having "ceilings" over my head, but I make some exceptions sometimes
