Both are uploaded to flickr large if you want to have a closer look at the folk

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice. I really like these. Not just for the geometry etc but the people. All in dark clothing. It makes them look like they've been cloned in or are models. Excellent stuff.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's what I was thinking, Pete, everyone in black - almost everyone. Really excellent shots and pp, Hamish.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers both ... not much PP rob, just black and white and tweaks to contrast really... with a bit of sharpening etc

 

[Dave Green]

Beltin shots!

I;d bet they;d looks good right off the other end of the scale too - HDR at Gas Mark 11

 

[Paul Lange]

Fab shots Hamish. They are all dressed in dark clothes and with those 2001-esque monoliths dotted about could almost be a scene from a sci-fi movie.

 

[Beth Carter]

i love to see photos of this place, i don't care how many times it's been done. it's on my list to visit someday.

 

[Brian Moore]

Great shots there Hamish!

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Beautiful images, Hamish. Curved, circular and straight lines are in great harmony and illusion. I remember only the Greek temple style architecture from 1980.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Excellent shot Hamish. Nice comp...great contrast...lots to look at and think about.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Brilliant - especially like #1 Hamish

Looking back at British people from abroad, you/we do where a lot of dark grey, dark blue and black clothing - compared to other cultures who tend to be more colorful.

Which of course works really well for this shot.

 

[Hamish Gill]

A miserable bunch aren't we!?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I think it may be a reflection on the weather as much as anything Hamish
