This is an absolutely superb architectural and historical capture. But oddly, I think the thing that takes this image over the stardom hurdle is the patch of little purple flowers against the old, gray stone, along with the lovely light that shines from behind the arch. #1355768Jeff Robinson February 24, 2011
