Aaah, Simplicity! - 'The Viewpoint'

This one is very simple - just two images - that's it.
But they've made a rather mysterious place, haven't they?

Which brings up the whole topic of image making vis a vis the ridiculous amount of tweaking that can be done these days, digitally.

I like it that way, ain't gonna change it, ever.
