I've visited Shaker Town many times and this is a superb gallery depicting the simplistic but artistic buildings, stairwells, etc. Magical ... voted

Very nice gallery. The interiors are my favorites but there are many strong images. Voted.

Beautiful perspective and composition as well as your lighting. This look just like the one in Mass.
