Very intriguing. Love the the mystery, peeling paint and textures! Congrats Neil!

Beautiful, time-weathered architecture here, Neil. Lines, arches, textures...you've covered it all! Having had "spiritual events" myself, I might believe the legend. Congrats on a veryintresting POTD win

What a fascinating narrative about the face in the window, Neil. And a very intriguing capture which is well framed has a wonderful weathered look to it...congrats!
