Excellent composition! The vertical and horizontal lines lead the viewer forward to that wonderful capture of light!
Tom Gomez replied
Thank you so much Joanne. The patch of light is at Brown’s Place. Because there is a gap where the houses are set back from the Vennel, the sunlight was streaming across the steps at that point …
