The coloring does give this an old time feel... and even though you can only see a little sky.. it adds it's drama to the shot. Looks like the best place to wonder around with a camera.

Wonderful Arman!!! Especially in the daguerotype (spelled right?) finish you've used... like a sepia only older looking. Perfect filter for such an image. Wow. #6129090
