This is Part 2 (Part 1 here), which may or may not extend into Part 3 (spoiler: it will! (spoiler: most likely but no promises)).
Anyway, I arrived at the aqueduct, and was duly impressed:
Here’s an attempt to get the full length in one photo.

Getting closer to the brick texture here.

View from the other end – it was definitely a shifting light kind of day.

Of course, where possible, I have to climb onto things, so here’s a view back towards the mountains. I walked quite a distance across the top, but not all the way – some few metres along, the arches seemed slightly too damaged to risk (that mossy-grassy patch in the photo, actually), and my formerly brick-laying Lithuanian colleague agreed.

There were also figs.

Now I don’t actually remember what I was going for in this photo…

… but my Lithuanian colleague was kind enough to take a photo of what I looked like taking it.

That’s all for Part 2, then – Part 3 will take a closer look at the decrepit brickwork and the arches, because there’s a few interesting things, if you like that sort of thing. :)
I really really like the paired photos of rq and what rq was photographing.
And the fig twig looks like a little man with a round nose and a moustache, asleep.
Love the arches!
Well, once this is all over we can get back to our true passion which is trying to die stupidly while taking a picture
I really like the brick and mortar pics
The romans’ widespread use of concrete is so distinctive.
Forgive me, but I am most fascinated by the fig shrubbery. That is not something that I am used to seeing.
pretty cool pics, thanks for sharing them!
The part you are standing on, it looks like it has a hollow in the center, was that a “pipe” of sorts, and how the water was actually transported, or is it something else?
