BRAVO Ben!
I admire any photographer to just be able to take a good shot
but to take one that adds the essence of the ambiance of the place is truely inspirational!
Reading down the comments there is feelings of magic and history and wonder from those never been and from those who have been these feelings are confirmed!
So it entices me to go and feel the wonderful magical ambiance for myself! May I suggest you offer this to the tourism place responsible for this area – it will promote visitation!
[sorry for the long comment – it could have been the story building in my head instead! :O)]
Chookas! X♥X
