Yes indeed for the reference to Numérobis ! I love your work in general... but here I have a question : is there not a lake of sharpness at the top of your photograph ? It's a little surprising on your site ! Anyway, bravo pour votre constance !
Posted by Phil at January 20, 2007 06:56 AMGood grief! What a cockeyed bit of junk that place is. How on earth can such off level junk construction happen? On the other hand - they did build the tower of Pisa, which was useful for scientific dropping of coins (uh?. Italians - ever fascinating.

Nice pic, by the way. Great find.
Posted by Dan Dickinson at January 20, 2007 10:39 AMOh my... Okay i'll skip the technicalities and go straight to the subject... it's indeed something that you would say Numerobis created heh, i didn't even notice the door at first. it's an amazing capture because it makes me feel so dissoriented, it's like i lose my focus on all the slanted shapres and elements that defy rationality...
Amazing shot, again!
Posted by Rajeeb at January 20, 2007 11:34 AMThe door in the middle really helps give a sense of scale to show how large the columns are. Great shot!
Posted by Alice at January 20, 2007 11:52 AMYes, it's Numerobis all over again! Your caption made me laugh!

Posted by Harry Lachenmayer at January 20, 2007 04:21 PMHah, I remember Numérobis. He was one odd character.
Anyways, nice shot.
Posted by Kristian at January 20, 2007 11:11 PMIt's as though they got the door right and everything else wrong
Posted by The Gifted Typist at January 21, 2007 11:44 AMI love how wee the door looks next to all the huge stuff around it from the windows to the columns. This feels almost like I'm standing right in front of it. Lovely.
Posted by Rebecca at January 21, 2007 09:17 PMKind of strange !!! I wonder how tall is the window !
Posted by Nicolas at January 22, 2007 05:40 AMHaha wow I took a double-take when I saw the door. Very nice effect.
