How sad if they cannot be saved and are demolished. This is a beautiful photo, it really shows the exquisite stone work at its best. Nice work.

It would be a shame if such beautiful architecture was replaced with the modern tripe that passes for class.

Oooo very pretty!

I think this might have been better in color, to help show the depth. In black and white, the roots look somewhat "flat" and nondescript.

For me, black and white is most effective when there are strong visual contrasts. Grays just all tend to blend together.

You maybe right, MossyB, but I was fooled by the fact that it looked a bit spooky, which, for some reason, I liked.

That's the point, it's hard to see or appreciate the "spooky" in black and white, it just kind of looks like a big gray mass.

Wonderful focus, the ripples in the water are beautifully crisp, and the background clarity helps the overall composition.

very nice
