Wonderful detail in this fine image, Pete.
Most original and striking !

Love this different and unusual shot, Pete. The geometric symmetry is most interesting. Wellington was a pretty important figure, kind of like Douglas McArthur in American culture, I would guess...even there are millions here now who could not tell you about either great man...

Peter, so good to see you uploading again. Hope you are safe and well.
I love the outline of the building surrounded by the scaffolding against the orange sky.
Great shot.
