I love the stonework

Hmmm... I seem to have read something like this in Revelations.

I have really wanted to try some infrared photography, I have a 50mm 1.4 and a 100mm 2.8 which would be great to use.

Perfect shot Motts, I love the low tone colors and the warm feel to this photo, It's true art.

God sure knows how to send a message! Of all the spots to turn too.... The contrast between the surrounding is really cool.

Fantastic and wonderful colors.

Yes Larry D, nightmarish. The sky is red.

It looks to me like it says EAST over the door...

Oh my, Mr. Motts. This one speaks to me. So beautiful, I love the sepia tone and the green vines complimenting eachother. I feel like I'm there, with nothing but the breeze blowing and twigs snapping under my feet. Is that a big pane of glass above the vines?

Nicely composed, great array of textures!

I cant believe this place was literaly in my back yard. Too bad it is gone now,it would have been a great place to see in person.

Infrared photography - it captures a spectrum of light normally invisible to our eyes, and causes long exposures in the day time (blurred trees in the wind).

It's weird, I can pull colors like this sometimes from the filter on my Canon 50mm, but on the 24-70mm it all comes out monochrome. Must be the way the glass is laid out...

favorite....ever.

There is a shape, in the tree...."

'Tis very Tom Waits....
