I am always impressed and amazed at how well you capture light and shadows.
This another one of your classics, what line did you use on this one to keep it straight?

@Fishit: thx! Dennis. I used the left side of the bell tower for line, though the whole structure has gravity problems. The utility pole leans that much due an ice storm a few years back. I give the credit to the 5D and glass for the subtle rendering of B/W tones, I just lug the camera out and point it. I first noticed it in StevenZ's work on the Fred. There was very little twiddling in Lightroom.

Clever title, but for me it's the subtle light that makes this image for me. Super.

I love the light and shadow mingling on the side of the building. I find myself cursing power lines quite a bit when trying to get cityscape shots. You've incorporated them well here.

This image is so more beautiful in NB. I am sure of it, the color would bring nothing more. Thank you for the link towards IAN's site. His image is more sober than the mine, so beautiful.

There is something quite gothic in the jumble of wires, like spider webs across the sky, especially when mixed with an old church and low winter light, nice one.
