I like this one ... really quite different. What I first thought from the thumbnail was an attractively colored silhouette, turned out to have quite a bit of detail hidden within, when enlarged. Sharp as well when the birds are looked at closely. I like the "eerie" color to the sky and think the black frame suits the image perfectly. Why do I keep thinking of Edgar Allen Poe? :) Job well done Jan

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Jan, reading your narrative, I assume, but don't hope, the UK (including the Tower) is in some problems now, lol. Love this image because of it's special atmosphere! Well done! Regards, Cornelius

The Ravens will of course, always be in London.

They carry the lamenting spirits of the dead away and then return. If they don't return they lost their way and the spirits will wander there forever. I made that up. LOL :) Nice one Jan.

Very interesting post. Raven flying away resembles bat because of his motion. Chimney looks like it has eyes and looking right at me. The silhouette effect is superb. I think Cowardly is on to something. Very poetic what he said. Yes Edgar Allen would love this. So do I.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. The Ghost
How on EARTH did you get the mortar to show up bright when the image is so dark? And who shot that raven on the right?
Fabulous.
Fabulous.

What a poetially dark legend...It's wonderful, eerie and full of ambience! Another stunning night shot my friend! I love it. :)

I had this in the VB and had to come check it out again. Really interesting. It has a sort of macabre feeling to it. The ravens probably have a lot to do with that; but the coloring certainly adds to the effect. Very well done indeed.

Another great shot Jan..the lighting and exposure giving Ravins and chimney a sillouette effect is perfect...gerry

We told him to go away... and away he goes, Precious! Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free!
I agree with Nigel about the detail you captured on the bricks in this silhoette. Did you darken it in editing to get that? (it was you who shot the bird!- and did a mighty fine job of it too!) I love the eerie sky color (or colour in British, lol) A very unique and wonderful capture Jan! Really suits the mood of the season too! I'm saving this one :)

My images on the map in Google Earth just click here.
A lot of action is going on there. Do they just do the movie "The Crow III"?

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Late at the Lake
I believe you. I have seen the ravens. You don't believe the story do you? Nicely done, Jan.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

like the green sky behind this Walter of a chimney ;o)

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Hi Jan, I thought the wings of the ravens were clipped so they can not escape. Has this bird lost the will to live and just took a nose dive?

Wonderful shot, Jan. I have to agree with all the comments on the detail of the brickwork, excellent! Beautiful color, too. Well done!

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
That must be one heck of a zoom lens you have there Jan and one heck of an eye for a great photograph too. Of course, we already knew that:)

Lovely sky, like the colors,
Beautifully done,
