Glad you were there to preserve this colorful beauty in photo form. Love the angles, shadows, lines and contrasts. A delicate portrait, historical art.

D., I have no other way to contact you.... Blunt way--I am an artist. I and a fellow artist are interested in this picture, have been since you posted it. We would like permission to paint this building. It would differ from this picture, of course (artistic license) but your picture would be our inspiration. I hope you see this post and respond. So many of your photographs are just wonderful. I wish you used the discussion part of the Forum, but your social life is your own. You have many photos that would be great subjects. You take pictures that no one else here does.... Anyway, thank you for your time. If you don't reply within a reasonable period, or if you request it, I will delete this post for you. Respectfully, C.
