Raymond is so right..we think of old.. and then we read how long ago..
millenarian and intriguing.. and your attentive eye , capturing it in all attractiveness
Raymond21-Jan-2011 13:14
It sure places mortality in perspective ! 1000 years ago ... Holy Cow, Columbus discovered America only 500 years ago, The Catholic Inquisition was 500 years ago, Leonardo Da Vinci was 500 years ago, Napoleon was 200 years ago ... and this was built 500 years before all that ! Amazing.
I love how you take your images, the tones, angles, colours ... all perfect.
