I had a read about this facinating place on the web site I posted yesterday, very interesting reading it made as well, I will be returning becase I didn't finish it all at one sitting. I would have loved to have seen it just after constrution, when everything was fresh and 'Just so'. If it was in England I would be planning a visit. Fantastic finding the old picture for a comparison Sue. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

I can't find it sad...it has endured and found its own place with a good balance in nature and in civilization. I love what it has become - it keeps you dreaming to see it. Fabulous capture and good comparison shot.

Oh I'll bet this was a magnificent building when it was brand new. Even in the old photo it looks awesome, though I think it's been around some already. Still, the current photo looks lovely too, in a mystical, magical, mysterious kind of way. It looks as though Mother Nature has been very busy, getting her decorating work done in time for the photo shoot!
