I've seen many photos of that place and they all have a strong effect on me. They are so fascinating, even in a heavy crop. :)

Congratulations!

Let me add, just for fun, that Laine in French means wool (and is pronounced Len). To me, that makes this even more adorable. :)

Ab Irato
by Louison

Comment:

Originally posted by Blackbox: 'AB IRATO - Civil Law. Lat. phrase which signifies by a man in anger. It is applied to bequests or gifts, which a man makes adverse to the interest of his heir, in consequence of anger or hatred against him. Thus a devise made under these circumstances is called a testament ab irato. And the suit which the heirs institute to annul this will is called an action ab irato. Are you mad about the fence? Anyway, the photo is pretty cool: 8

Not mad, of course. This latin expression is not only used for testaments, but signifies something by itself: out of anger. It was the sky that brought this idea for a title.

Thanks very much for commenting. Not very many people did, yet I very much appreciate it.

Serenity now!

Great shot, but all that power doesn't say serenity to me. It does say power, self-assurance, strength, but not serenity. (Which doesn't bring my vote down: the emotion is here and the photo is excellent.)

Hey, I just saw her in the portrait challenge... :) The lighting is still flat, and the composition and expression are still quite lively!
