Bath Row / Birmingham, England
St Thomas' Church on Bath Row was was built in 1825 and was one of two Greek Revival churches in Birmingham designed by Henry Hutchinson, a British architect described by some as a genius though having met to an untimely death at age 31. The church was bombed in 1940 by enemy action but the tower and west porticos remain standing; now serving as a monument to Peace, linking into a beautiful sanctuary of urban tranquility.

Oooo. Moody. Looks like the cover of a gothic novel. Or the entrance to secret lair. Skull and Bones? Illuminati?
The warmth and quality of the light is astounding. The shadow "frames" also really make the image.
