Beautiful. I read an article once on the construction of the Duomo in Florence and some of the unique design aspects to aid in load bearing structure design.
I think the thing that makes this even more beautiful to look at is when you remember these were all made by hand by a guy or lady with a hammer and a chisel.
This is craftsmanship we just don't do on that scale anymore IMHO.
Lovely...
A bit of Black and White today. I thought it added more drama to the picture.

Cobbles, Hebden Bridge
It was chucking it down when I took this pic - wet cobbles are more interesting anyway. After giving up on trying to keep rain off the lens, I decided to go for an 'early days of photography' look, adding a little grain in post.

Good shot, like the composition. The only thing I could add is that the stone would look great during the golden hours, but that all depends on if you're allowed in and around at that time. Where is this?

Nice. Your braver than me. I'd have put the kit away at the first sign of rain, even though my kit is weather sealed.

Don't you just hate those stunning locations that open at 10, and close at 4. In other words you can only take pictures in the worest lighting. The National Trust are like that.
It was taken with my Canon G12 - a gem of a backup camera which, despite not being specified as weather sealed is a tough little blighter.
Ideally I would have liked a person in the shot to give it some scale, but it seemed I was the only one stupid enough to be out in such weather.
Many thanks Alex - I'd certainly agree about the golden hour since the stone is a nice warm golden sandstone - perhaps do a bit of post processing to simulate. This is the 'Bombed Church' (WW 2) in the city centre of Liverpool where I had a day wandering around recently - picture taken from the outside looking in and up through the absent roof to the church spire.
I was pretty excited to go and take this sunset photo, but the lack of clouds made it rather less than impressive:

Keep meaning to ask, how did you get the effect on this and your previous submission?
Cheers

You could also try the other end of the colour scale and just b&w it. Get some contrast out of those clouds and you'll have a shot looking up at an almighty church with a wrath-of-god sky lingering in the background? Either way, if you do PP it then be sure to put it up here

Hello Hugh...
It's down to layer blends in PS, also has a lot to to with the sensor which has a quality akin to film (D2Hs). These are crops of the originals.
Well it's Monday morning here in the UK so here is another from Malvern Hills trip last week.

Is that cropped at all? It really is a lovely shot. A 500 mm lens certainly gets you close to the action.
