I like a lot how white (wonderful one in the ceiling arches) in distance & black (silhouettes but also the beautiful grey scale in the reflections, the side walls,...) walk hand in hand here. Another work of elegance of yours, and the fact they go like a bunch, altogether like one, this is an idea i love too, the plurial here is full of hope in humanity. Let's go ahead into the soft light. You have a delicious 2d part of week, my dear Sharon...

love the contrast in this photo, contrast and shadows/reflections. I like how the hallway gets brighter eventually, a good metaphor for life; love this black and white

Shadows, silhouettes and delicate light flowing in to light the ceiling; it all makes for an excellent shot.

What a nice place Sharon, like a cathedral for body and soul. Love how black meets white here, I love also all the silhouettes and they reflections on the ground... there's something so smoothy about it, lots of softness.

Wonderful black and white conversion with just enough shadow detail to keep the exposure balanced.

The silhouetted figures and the receeding arches make an attractive shot.

Oh so good--love the transition from light to dark. The figures in silhouette moving through this transition create an anonymity that allows us to identify personally with their journey.

superb silhouettes in back light in a high contrast, perfect in B&W !

Gorgeous light in this. The silhouettes give the impression of shadows dancing!

These silhouetted figures are so dramatic as they go towards the light. The arches make a beautiful frame. Wouldn't it be nice if we creatures could see ourselves in this allegorical way? The Buber quote is inspirational.

Hey Sharon, what superb light and shadows to convey the mystery and beautiful tonality to bring out the charm of the building details!!! The quote is interesting and evocative to read along with your wonderful shot! Fabulous original work as always!:-)

A wise man & a great frame. The secret destination is something I always searched for since I was very young. And I still do. Thanks for your company, Sharon! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
