<p>All the shots are simply magnificent but my favourite is the 2nd one. The oher shot that is interesting is #6, not as much for the shot as the center column of the staircase and the details capturd. As always, the processing is superb.</p>

<p>A very interesting site to visit, and your photos as usual, Dorus, are superbly taken and processed. My favorite is #6, with the spiral staircase. Thanks!</p>

<p>Number six wins out with me But all very well done</p>

<p>Wonderful set! #6 looks like an Escher.</p>

<p>Matt says "Very steampunk" of #6<br />He's such a punk.<br /><br />I think #6 w/ the spiral staircase is jut pure epic-ness.<br />really like the set. </p>

<p>I like #3. Tho #6 is a very close second.</p>

<p>Love them all! Great stuff....I wish I could go see that!! Regards, Robert</p>

<p>Dorus, as always, perfection!</p>

<p>Fantastic shots, number 6 sure is an Escher !<br>

<p>-4 and 7 , and 6 . Thanks for showing</p>

<p>tx everyone, I'm glad you like it.<br>

the full set can be viewed <a href="http://photobucket.com/cruquius">here</a><br>

I myself was taken aback for a bit with the impact of such an amazing construction. I should go back there again now that I know what I want, so to speak.</p>

<p>Pretty cool. They're all pretty good, I think the ones I like best are #2 and #6, the one I like least is the last one.</p>

<p>Wow.. that place is a photographer's paradise! Great stuff!!!</p>
