Wow, they knew how to build them back then... how to strike terror in the hearts of the peasants... great job as always.
Barbara Heide28-Jan-2010 01:04

What a wonderful shot - the light sky behind the building gives it a surreal effect V

Lovely image!!!! Mysterious look Stewart!
Stephanie27-Jan-2010 22:13
OK, what happened to the roof? I love the photo, but think the building looks weird without a roof!
Phillip Normanton27-Jan-2010 21:36
Oooh, now this is the stuff of murder mysteries... :o))
Doug Cruden27-Jan-2010 21:19
I love the gritty contrasty stonework of the old house, but I'm not so keen on the halo around the roof and tree edges. Fab composition though...
Johnny JAG27-Jan-2010 20:29
Very nice processing
Guest 27-Jan-2010 20:21
