Fort Steele Entrance Photo

Photographer’s Note

This building is the entrance to the amazing little town Fort Steele.
The origin of Fort Steele can be traced to the small settlement of Galbraith's Ferry, which was born during the 1864 Kootenay Gold Rush to Wild Horse Creek. In 1888 the settlement's name was changed to Fort Steele to honour Superintendent Samuel Benfield (Sam) Steele of the North-West Mounted Police , who peacefully reduced tensions between the Ktunaxa and the white and Chinese settlers who were relatively new to the area.

Nice building with a good frame and perspective, I think it is too bright, it has too much light.
I will post a WS, I hope it is OK and you will like it.
