Dale, this surely DOES look like a 'cool sanctuary'...and a LOVELY, *relaxing* place to visit AND spend some time!! :o) We ALL need places like this to 'get away from it' in the 'rat race' of life, don't we?!! ;o) The colours here are EXCELLENT, and the lighting, details, composition AND effects are all SUPERB!! :o) #885136
