I love the way you've framed the new building through the ruins of the old! From what I can see though the new house is not as impressive looking as the old one would probably have been.

Superb detail and sharpness throughout David............a cracking shot!

Thanks a lot Keith,.. the old house kept being added onto.,. over the years,.making it a bit of a mish mash,. still worth a look today though,.. Keep well - and Cheers'' from > Dj.
