Hello
Quelle perspective sur ces escalier avec le contraste de couleur entre le blan et le brun, de toute beauté, ces petit personnage qui descendent nous donnent vraiment l'immensité.

Bravo et amitié

Hello Chris,
A superb perspective looking up these long steps with their beautiful balustrades. The people at the top provide a good sense of scale. Good natural tones and excellent clarity.

Olá Chris, impressive monumentality, excellent symetric POV. I like the graphism of the steps and the detail of the roofs. Nice sense of scale from the people descending but I might crop the people at left that are a bit distracting.

Hi Chris, Wow, such an impressive memorial, like an emperor's. The stairs are monumental, in typical Chinese style, and house like a big pagoda without windows looks very strange.

All the best in New Year

Hi Chris, A good upward POV of this huge memorial which i visited a few years ago. It seems to be in need of some maintenance as i recall it was spotlessly clean when i was there. TFS. Murray.

Namaste Chris
Chiang Kai-shek is a giant of Taiwan...fine view upward with fine perspective & strong graphic effect of the stairs, good symmetry & the tiny people show the scale. The roof structure is excellent. Well done!
