Wow, that's beautiful. And I bet your editing skills play their part in bringing it out as well!
Times have indeed changed and more often than not for the worse, I despair to say. It is because of these changes that I feel we are undoing so many things and loosing vast amounts of knowledge, grandeur, beauty, quality, standards and care (to name but a few things) that are affected by these changes.
But all that aside... This is yet another fantastic image!
It is a comfort to know that there are still people out there who care, take pride in their undertakings and are aware of the world around them.
Yes, a gorgeous building! Today we seem to be all about efficiency, with very little thought to anything creative.
Great shot!
What wonderful architecture, they sure don't build them like they used to. Is it still a post office?
Sunny :)
Awesome effect magnificent shot!
:-)
Really impressive building! Wonderful shot Dan. I do feel like Bela Lugosi may answer the door if I came knocking. LOL.
Ooo I love the colours! Shimmering!
Beautiful! My first guess is that it was a church.
Very interesting.

Thanks Dawn Treader...this was a difficult picture to get right and I am still not satisfied with it. The flood lights in front blew out the details in the center of the picture.
Dan
S. Barbie...I totally agree. We are losing our heritage a bit each day and so many folks don't seem to care.
Dan
Shabbygirl...I also agree with you . I fear that when the future looks back a today's architecture for the most part...they will not be too impressed.
Dan
Sunny...it is no longer a post office. It is now an office building still be used though.
Dan
Thanks Amatamari...I am not real happy with the image...too much light in the center...I lost a lot of detail.
Dan
Septembermom...Yes...it would be a good picture for Halloween!
Dan
Thanks Lly...I appreciate the comment.
Dan
Cynthia..it DOES kind of look like an old monastery...I never thought of that.
Dan
Dan, now that you mention it I see what you mean about the lights but I didn't think about that the first time I saw the picture.
Btw today+tomorrow I'm showing three posts (at IOV) with pictures from an art exhibition I went to see the other day; it's water colour but I think you might enjoy it, the arist (Swedish painter Lars Lerin) is famous among other things for his treatment of dark vs light.
