It takes courage to suppose a photo such as this has merit...it..........DOES! LOL.... for it is elegant, simlple, inviting and causes the viewer to look and wonder..these two last ones are what photgraphy ought to be about.most of the time here, I am so accustomed to flowers and pastoral scenes, I grow fatigued of them and stop paying much attention really.....good to see a unique shot.bravo........now.where is some more of that architecture??LOL

Old things have their own magic..good work...

good job, interesting idea for a photo, came out well.

I like it, it is peaceful but still full of details. I want to have such a stable handwriting. Am I not sharp-eyed enough but couldn't identify the language :S.. French? What is it?

I CANT READ!!

Interesting picture though, makes for a sweet background

Amare umbra

Great idea. I love the antique feeling.

I believe this is Old Latin

Very cool. Which document is this?

Necessary to ask morat re: document

I'm afraid I don't exactly recall what this document is. The photo was taken at the Yorkshire Museum in York, England. It's near where I work, so I'll try and remember to pop in and find out.

(*checks watch*) .. so? .. have you 'popped' in yet?

Excellent photo

Err, no! Sorry :)

this is pretty cool

this is majorly cool! I can speak Old Latin, but alas, I wasn't able to read the script. Definitely favorited though!!

Lovely!
