Door of the Sun and the Moon (32)

Hello dear friends,

this might be the last upload from me for a while, but from nice reasons. What kept me busy for the last few months was my work as a mentor for students talented for English language. They had a competition yesterday, and won the first 3 places! We are all happy for this (unexpected) success, but now we have to practice even more for further upcoming competition on higher level, so I'll have to 'neglect' photography for a while. I'll visit TL occassionally in the evenings to do some critiquing though.

Anyhow, this is the detail of one of the most beautiful and important monasteries in Serbia, and quite near my town. It was built in the 15th century by one of the Serbian kings. It was also an important educational centre. The location is beautiful - on a mountain, surrounded by a forest and a huge stone wall.
I liked the door itself, and the symbols of the sun and the moon above it. The texture of the walls (marble) looks oversharpened, but it really is like that. I'll try and upload two more photos as WS to show you.

See you around!

Some adjustment in PSCS2 distort and perspective menu to straighten the lines! :)
cheers

Just to show you larger part of it, sorry for not editting it better, I just fixed shadows/highlights a bit.

This is how it looks above the door. You can now see the shape of the tower.
