I usually think of stone as hard and cold. You've taken these old walls and turned them into something much different. They are warm and glowing. This isn't Spanish Mission Revival but better than that, the real thing dating back to the 18th century. And to top it all off, superb POV and lighting.

This makes me imagine the place filled with the original occupants. A photo populated by warm and friendly ghosts just out of shot.

You know I love those lines of arches behind more arches, and warm buttery light all over it all. Old stones are the best stones, I think. Fantastic shot indeed!

A wonderful shot, Tara! I love those arches, delightful repeating patterns, and such gorgeous warm light. Awesome capture!

It looks like Chiseled from stone... and in addition like a " dolls house".

This really again is 'a winner photo' to me, dear friend. I can study this for hours, while admiring the colors, the details of light, shadow, structure, lines. In short, you did it again, showing some amazing picture, with so many subtle kind of 'hints' for my mind ;-). Thank you very much for your kind words under my fractals, as well as any other effort that you do for me. I really appreciate your kindness, Tara, a.s.o :)

Great capture Tara. That is one reason I like Southern Texas - the Spanish/Mexican influence! Yes, it was nice talking to you and Bill too Tara!

What Bill said...you turned this stone into something warm and inviting. Your work with light and shade has made this very mysterious, like a series of deep eyes, peering into the world---and holding, behind them, deep mysteries: Your treatment speaks of all kinds of mysteries behind the walls. Your deep blue sky intensifies that too---daylight, but filled with night mysteries. And the reds of the pots and on the brick arches behind the front facade, are wonderful accents against all that beige and brown. The upper left wall is all foreboding---you really know how to use dark, and express with it: It intensifies the mystery of this place. Bill pointed out that this wasn't "revival" style, but rather the real thing: Well, it feels like it in this shot. And your bleached wall-hues make it almost foreboding to us, while still being very warm and inviting. A terrific job with an old facade: You did that part of the country real service, Tara: Your pieces radiate with the old spirits and passed souls that still linger in every inch of that part of the land. You make it feel like the South is a land of huge mysteries and dances among the invisible. It's been a great journey to see all of these.
