    wow – this is stunning for me… perfect horizontals and verticals… love how you have framed this and exposed one human element… sensational work!

  • Paul, you’re making my day again by favoriting this image!! truly. & WoW as well. and I was doubtful about uploading it. -must rearrange my brain cells. I’m looking forward to your next & perhaps “fruitful” images ;) thank you so much….

    Thank you, Paul, you are so kind! It’s such an incredibly grand space, it felt best to have the human element. I do, however, think I have plenty to learn about handling that much light well. Many thanks for your observations & comments, sooo much appreciated!!

    Wow, this is magnificent. – the straight lines, that wonderful;y large negative space and the one small human presence, plus the wonderfully handled lighting, they all come together beautifully.

  • many thanks for your kind comments! it’s an amazing space and lends itself so well to photography – it was an absolute pleasure being there, thanks again! ;)

    mind you I haven’t been here too long either :-)

    I like the sense of mass here……the fact that you kept the “open air” part perfectly square is great – and the inclusion of the person crucial to the shot to show scale. Nice work B – I can’t wait to get there one day!

  • thank you so much, Julian! with that courtyard being so stunning is was difficult to choose which image to upload & the woman resting in the sun made the decision for me. Perhaps I’ll add another at some time to show the symmetry of the space. I can’t wait to hear & see your images and reactions when you visit there!! ahh, -love buildings….

    Just voted for this in the open spaces challenge. A wonderful image, a sense of scale with the sunbather and lovely composition. Love it

  • wow, thank you so much, John, for voting for “Sunbath” and for appreciating the image so much. The pleasure really was all mine spending the afternoon photographing this amazing space/structure and I’m beyond happy that it shows in the photo. thanks again for your words…
