Thanks DanThe second one is great! Love the steps and how they lead you into the frame....
Thanks BrianI like the 2nd one best also, Aldous, but the first one presents an impressive sense of scale. Its a very nice picture, too.
Thanks PeteI do like that sense of scale in the first (and in fact prefer the image if I had to choose). The way the wall, forest, tree looms in on the toilet block adds a nice sense of fairytale menace I think.
Thanks IvarWonderful images again Aldous, the others said it all. Just great.
This place is called Tung Chung Fort which was built in the Shun Hei era in year 1817. The fort is mainly prevent pirate and opium trades. There are still couples of cannons around the fort. The brick wall was made by ranite blocks, measure 70 by 80 metres (230 by 260 ft). Three arched gateways, each engraved with a Chinese inscription, are spaced along the walls. What's the size of the red bricks in Cornwall Julian?What was its use Aldous in what context? What interests me and does from time to time when I see photographs from around the world. Is how this scene could be here in Cornwall, there are tell tale signs which say otherwise, yet not at a glance, in this case the brick wall. The red bricks here in Cornwall tend to be smaller in size.
You're right Julian, the fort is not largeAh not certain , lain about 81/2 inches long and 4 deep maybe 3 inches tall Not large at all.
