nice capture of the rhythm of arches, their shadows and their deep open spaces. And nice capture of the statue in front, caught nicely in the angle of the walls behind him. it's nice that, with the wear on the statue, the gold on the staff still remains. You've penetrated these spaces nicely in your series, and given glimpses of their expanse, even in the smallest areas. They feel expansive (& mysterious). Nice capture of that against the bright light of daytime...a very nice series.
