Arches of Ancient Times

The Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard spans a verdant valley in Provence, its three tiers of arches built from pale sandstone. Sunlight illuminates the structure, highlighting its rough-hewn stones. Lush green foliage rises from the foreground and covers the hillsides, framing the historic bridge against a sky of scattered white clouds and deep blue. A distant hillside is covered in dense forest.
