Artist's Comments
Ah here it is...
The remains of Windsor Plantation... once the largest plantation home east of the mighty Mississippi. Mark Twain once visited and referred to Windsor's size as a college instead of a residence. Located just outside of Natchez, MS the home (completed in 1861) was 3 stories tall with an enclosed belvedere making a 4th - it included 25 large rooms and 12' wide balconies on three sides. During the war between the states, a Union officer was so impressed with Windsor, he drew a sketch to send home... Sadly, today that sketch is the only reference we have to what this grande dame once looked like. The home burned to the ground only 10 years after its completion when a party guest supposedly left a lit cigar on an upper balcony. Standing there, amidst those columns... words cannot express. I still can't wrap my brain around the enormity and magnitude of the place... Comments

I love the yellowish color scheme in it, too.-- ~Anna~ "You are all entering a business that endorses recycling more than Al Gore." ~ My Animation Teacher  thanky thanky!
i thought it gave it an antique-ish look that seemed appropriate. -- ...this was no accident, this was a therapeutic chain of events. |

I love how you can switch from black and white to color and achieve such great results from each one.
The angle of this photo really makes you feel so tiny, making the pillars soar above you, even over the trees!
I think the black and white gives you a certain sense of...oldness. Is that a word? A sense of...grandeur. Elegance! There we go, hah.
Stately, there's another word that fits is. Very poised and stately.
I like the diagonal view as well because you can see more of the pillars, I think a front or side view wouldn't have shown the true size as well.
All in all, great photo!
