I love this! Excellent capture of the star of today's show. The building eclipsed everything else we saw, for sure! (Don't tell Rob I said that.)

wow that some big doors. even Samson would have a hard time here but i hear he took the doors and post of the city and carry them 20 miles before he set them down. weight is say to be around 2 tons ? I know the story is true for sure. I know; I just thinking here of what your image do to my brains

Wow! What a fantastic shot, this is wonderful! Love the repetition of all the wooden struts and panels. Well done!

Wow! And to think the wood held up with that weight! I wonder why they used wood instead of corrugated metal? Impressive photo, but... are we looking up towards the ceiling, or... I'm quite disoriented. However, that's part of the charm/magic in this photo - being lost in the details AND in the whole! Would be fun to see more of this fantastic construction. Keep it up, Bill. This is fascinating! :-)

It's truly amazing how strong wood really is. Can you imagine the stresses on the framework - specially near the bottom of those doors - never mind the whole building... Excellent photo, Bill! Really does give you a feel of being very small!
