Jan 12, 2007 16:04 | #3 the problem with that, is that there is a nasty rail that swings out on the left of the shot. you can see the rail that runs behind the lighthouse, it cuts in, you can even see the shadow. if i stepped back that would be in the front of the photo...and that bugs me.

I mean that the vertical lines of the building are not vertical but they are converging as you go up... www.PiCTOSO.nl
