The façade of old Beechworth Hospital. It's common in Australian gold mining boom towns that what are now tiny little communities have some grand buildings in them, built in their historic gold rush days. Now this one is just the façade and as it was an overcast day when I took this I worked in Oloneo to tone map this in that gloomy direction even more.

Enjoy the atmosphere.

Mikel.

Was once a fine building. Your treatment of it certainly gives an air of sadness.
Good stuff.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

There's room for gloom here Mikel!!!!!! WOW!! Very dramatic for sure.You're definitely in tune with the tone here:) Outstanding image. Only one teeny tiny caveat here, I would have cloned out the tree branches in the sky but otherwise an excellent piece for sure:)

A marvelous, creepy effect, Mikel! Your post-work and the trees seen through the arches combine to create a dream-like image, with just a slight touch of the sinister. Very cool!
