The Window of Monte Cristo

The Window of Monte Cristo  by linaji

The Window of Monte Cristo

VIEW LARGE PLEASE

This reminds me of the French Dungeons.. and the Count of Monte Cristo..one of my favorite books of all time….

Genius plot writer, Alexander Dumas, constructed a story so evil, so clever, and so violent that future reads will just be boring. The sum of the book can be understood in three simple words…”Pede poena claudo”, or “retribution comes limping.” To seek justice for the three men who so selfishly stole 14 years of his life, Edmund Dantes uses deception to emotionally and financially destroy his foes.

The Window of Monte Cristo belongs to the following groups:

Rusty, Crusty and Falling to Bits and Textures and Materials

    Nice shot. I wonder though, why they needed bars when there was a solid wall of rock there :) – maybe the rock was soft? lol.

    throughout time….....i love the colors of rust and this image is captivating to my eyes…taking me thru the time of the bars…it is releasing to me…it feel free, not held down..and by looking deeper i see the colors meld together the colors of the rust and the rock below…i really like this image lina…..
