These could have been from anytime in the past two millennia.
The Pont du Gard is so old and classic, in the antiquities classic way, that I couldn’t resist giving a black and white conversion a try. If you’d like to compare, I posted it in color on my other web site: Real golden Arches: Pont du Gard.
I use the Gnu Image Manipulation Program (a.k.a., the GIMP) with the Nik plug in for the conversion. If you are interesting in using the GIMP for black and white I have a post about how to do it: Black and white digital photo processing using the GIMP.

Beautiful! Thank you for posting how to edit in Gimp. I’ve found it somewhat confusing, so I’m going to check out your tutorial link. 🙂

Happy to help. There are a lot of YouTube videos. I used them and a couple of books to teach myself.

I was here almost 20 years ago! Sat in the spot featured in your lead photo with the girls who were little then. Remember thinking: we should have packed a picnic.

Wish I’d had more time to soak it in. And yet I am so glad I had the chance to see it for real. The walk from the river bed, across the bridge and up the trail on the other side really gave a sense of how big the bridge is and how much effort went into constructing it.

We never made it across the bridge … we spent our time on the bank playing with stones and soaking in the atmosphere!

Fantastic old structure, build to last. I´m using GIMP 2.8 for all my photoediting needs. Poor man´s Photoshop.. 🙂
