The restoration was just beginning. Funny, the modern restoration looks to be taking longer than the original construction.

Each one of these deserves to win in its own right.

Congratulations to all in the final round!

because I didn't take it. It was taken by a friend's THREE-year-old son! It is poignant for me because a year or so after it was taken the boy died from complications with the flu. I use it as my background. I think it is one of the most beautiful pix I've ever seen.

Sorry to hear about the loss of the boy. What a fantastic legacy he left though for his family and friends. The world is a little brighter because of him.
