now that is a cool structure! The first one really shows the height and the pp adds to the dramatic feel. The second one is neat showing the bridge and open door. I also like the detail of the texture in the third.

A painter takes their vision and makes it a reality. A photographer takes reality and makes it their vision.
Yes, it's a nice and complete set that's been well captured. You've given me the tour without me having to travel thousands of miles![]()
Great job. I love old, weird stuff like this. The things us humans get up to. Your processing really works with the subject here.
Cool set, and I like the tones and composition.
