Thanks for posting that.  There is a plethora of jaw dropping images through National Geo on that Boston site.  Amazing stuff.  Glad you put it up, there are some real eye openers.

This would be an excellent cover for a Sibelius recording.

You're welcome. I agree that there are some fantastic photos there. I wish this one had more of an explanation.



The pictures are even more impressive at that website because they download at a much larger size than here.

Yup, looks like you were way ahead of me. I must have missed your post in the Christmas rush. Interesting that we both chose the same photo. At least the pictures are worthy of a re-visit.

Quite. I just love the textures created by the rain, the bricks and the tiles. And I wonder if all that might have been lost had the photo been in colour.
