Well, *I* am not going to be the first one to say it . . . . . . .

What an angle - I love it! It almost makes me feel like I could somehow get to the top of the ceiling and then slide down one of those beams. Guess that gravity-deal sort of puts it out of the question, eh? :-(

Incredible atmosphere in this one. I think it's the shadow in the upper right corner that makes it so perfect, and it was obviously never meant to be anything but a black-and-white shot.

Noah's Ark upside down. I think someone made a similar comment about another building on this site somewhere, but it absolutely puts me in mind of a large wooden boat.

Absolutely phenomenal - I agree! The architecture is stunning but the angle of the shot pulls you up and up and up.

Une belle ange!

I can almost feel the texture . . . . Very nice!

This is another thing I always am blown away by - the amount of hand-eye coordination it would take to carve not just one but hundreds or thousands of intricate details in marble or stone. If you have a large slab you are using for a single piece all it would take would be one little bump at the very end to ruin the piece. I can't even imagine that sort of patience.

Awesome!

Oh Jeebers, I like this even better than the previous cherub pic! This reminds me of Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete!

Nice! I really like this shot!

Jeebers, I feel small! How high up do these rooms go? I love imagining the people constructing these all those years ago with just scaffolding, "crude tools", and manual labor. That must have been a real bitch, but the product was so magnificent.

You caught it perfectly! The lighting is incredible and I love the angle you used - makes it very mysterious.

Such exquisite work - thank you for the fine detail!

Great set, the architecture of this location is just unbelievable!

This is just sad to think of all this beauty lost.
