G'day Dominick, This was inspired by a photograph by Ansel Adams I saw on a web site. It was the one with tombstones in a graveyard with lighting very similar to this. As soon as I spotted just what the sunlight was doing to this scene I knew I had to give it the "treatment". So glad it caught your discerning eye and imagination. Many thanks for your very supportive and encouraging comment mate. GB

G'day Tammy, Thank you for the "double entry", for your very encouraging "Wow,..." and for some more names for me to look up. When I first saw this scene with that photograph of Ansel's in mind, it was the contrast that atracted me. I then set about photographing and processing for the contrast. There were a few dud versions until I settled on this. I also like the "grain" in the image, making it look more like an authentic film B&W. GB

G'day Donna, Surprisingly these buildings are not very popular with most of the fine folk of Port Macquarie but when I saw them in that afternoon light with clouds as a backdrop they looked wonderful to me. Your very encouraging "...Beautiful work..." comment for this urban landscape is greatly appreciated. GB
