  What a wonderfully solid and mysterious looking place filled with light and shadows. I wonder about it's age? What interesting windows as well. Almost as if they were built to lean over on for long periods of time to look out side. Fascinating image R&A! -Laura

  Ray & Audrey,

I really like the interplay between the two arches, one high one low; one light and the other dark, yet both piercing a very sturdy and massive wall.

Congratulations on your prize too.
