A colour portrait aspect photograph of a stone doorway, with large posts but the lintel missing. The ground slopes upwards away from the camera, through the doorway, reaching a short wooden staircase to a higher level beyond. There are bare trees in the background, and a grey sky.

Looking out from the arena into one of the two entrances in the excavated part of #Chester #amphitheatre.

Doorways prompt thoughts of those who passed through before like few other features.
