Great idea to make this one b&w, it's almost like a line drawing with some shading. As always, your composition is perfect and a delight to look at. Congratulations on the win, Chris! #11550085

Thank you all very much!
It was interesting for me to compare this with a much older shot I took here (showing some stairs in the background) -- the arches were still yellow back then, but had ivy-vine stencil patterns painted along each arch perimeter. #11550720
