Great detail in there. The workmanship which went into this building is incredible. Nowadays they throw buildings up. You got it well!

Fantastic shot, Chris! Incredibly clear and crisp and so nice to look at. The sculpture and carving are incredible and your photo does them great justice. Definitely a thousand times better than the one on Wikipedia!

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. - Hermes

Well, Chris, I think that it's pretty plain that it's clear and crisp and you've got a great angle on it as well. It's too bad they didn't know you were around when they made up the pics for the link you sent us to. :)

Thank you all for your comments. I apologize that I wasn't able to thank each of you personally for taking the time to view and comment on this post. Time is pressing me at the moment, and though I will still post comment as I'm able, each will be sporadic for the next month or so...thanks again, my friends!
