 Same location as my From the Ground Up shot. This has long been a favorite secret location of mine, and while I'm happy with this shot, it's hardly one of the best I've come away with from here. The weather just didn't cooperate.

Predicted score - low 5's

What a great place! Makes me wonder who lived there and what life was like in its heyday.

Love the composition and the subject. The rocks behind could have shown more definition and I am not sure about the post processing looks a little burn't out in areas.
