What a wall of textures here, Patti, with great framing of the whole. Love the fact that the blue doors are slightly ajar. #8624479

Patti Coblentz May 20, 2010

Hi..thank you for all of your nice comments!

No, Steve, I don't think you would want to. It was an abandoned building in a rather run down area of Peru...who knows what goes on in there.

Patti #8624803

Steve M. Harrington May 20, 2010

Just the kind of place I have never been able to resist exploring. :) #8624807

Patti Coblentz May 20, 2010

Yea, right, Mr.Big Britches! #8624818

Steve M. Harrington May 20, 2010

Hey, there are no guys with machine guns. You would not believe some of the places my britches have been! Besides, blue is my favorite color. :) #8624824

Val Feldman level-deluxe May 20, 2010

I'm with Steve...or would be if we both could hop a plane and do some exploring in #894 of the blue ajar door fame...! Wonderful, wonderful textures and beautiful stand-out color...there's a definite feel of mystery here, tho...that slightly open door is mighty inviting! #8624964

Patti Coblentz May 20, 2010

:) Thanks, Val!
