What a beautiful old subject and what a prize when the restoration is complete. Great entry.

Good and sharp!

Thx Amanda!

for this contest I think it needs to be in colour.

I agree with friiskiwi....

I have to disagree, I love the feel the sepia gives this shot

Definitely agree with Adam, sepia is well chosen for this

I can't read the language, but it pretty clearly says "don't come through here!" I wonder if that sign is really necessary? - Probably, people are the same all over.

I know, kyri, it's all... Greek to you. Yes it more or less says, "slow down, works in progress,"- the sign meant for the usual daredevil who might try to negotiate the incredible mess by walking through it.

Nice
