Wow this looks like something out of a Si Fi movie!! Superb composition!! This series is really something!!!

@Linerberry: I thought the same thing! I kept thinking it looked like a sci-fi prop or something out of a post-apocalyptic movie. I've even messed around with the brightness and contrast to see if I could give it that "atomic-bomb-blast" look. Kind of fun in a morbid sort of way. :) Thanks for your lovely comments on this series, Liners. Your enthusiasm is quite flattering.

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Once again you have impressed me with your choice of angle for this landmark. Well done. Certainly not what one would expect.

@Lee: Thank you so much for such a nice comment, Lee. I worked hard to find the unexpected (or unusual) viewpoint. Glad to know it worked.
@Elora: I thought about posting this in b&w, but decided to go with the color. Maybe I'll have to post it in both styles. :)

@grouser: Thanks, Grouser! I've definitely been getting a lot more use out of the old camera now that the weather isn't so bone-chilling COLD!! :)
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
I like the way the greenery is exposed right, leaving the arch looking more like a slash of light in this one. Such a nice variety you've captured!

@Bookfool: Thanks, Nancy. I may go back and post this in BW. It's been a fun series.

Striking against that gorgeous blue sky.

@john4jack: It was the one and only day when it wasn't overcast or raining! And, of course, it was the day we arrived, so we really only had a few hours of good light.
PD from Overland Park, Kansas, United States
Another good one! Like how the tree branches seem to be holding up the arch

@PD: Ah, you're right. It does look as though they're clinging to it, doesn't it? Thanks, Paul!
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
