Love the rich colors and (of course) the eye-pleasing composition, Rey!
So many beautiful and intricate details. I'm curious, though...is that a "rope" ladder dangling over the edge by the right of the clock? #10334912

Thank you Kenneth, Mary and John for the compliments, it is appreciated so much.

Mary thanks for pointing this out, It sure does look like a rope ladder doesn't it? It looks like an aid for maintenance of sorts. #10334980

Wow! What an awesome capture of this spectacular tower, Reynaldo. The colour and detail are superb! Love the little angels above the windows! ... at least I think that's what they are! ... My eyes haven't been too good lately. Ha! Ha! Looks like a beautiful day with that dark blue sky! Excellent work, my friend! :) #10346313

The rich gold color against the crisp blue sky - just stunning, Rey. As always, your wonderful attention to detail makes studying the masterful architectural designs you capture a real treat...Your Russian series is top-notch! (Altho, I LOVED the little jog you did over to Germany for the Reed Roof House!:):) #10349379
