Hi Helen;Helen Dittrich October 02, 2011
Thankyou to all :) Robert, this was taken as I was walking through some ruins in a place called Sigiryia,Sri Lanka. I liked how the steps were leading through this rock structures. I post edited subtley in CS5 as the original was quite flat, mainly to bring the golden colours as I saw them on the day. cheers, Helen :) #9711391Wendy M. Hansen-Penman October 03, 2011
