Description
More from Manchester's past. This is the casemate building again. I loved the afternoon light streaming in. Who says concrete is boring?

You really do have a wonderful eye for light, Tara. This image draws me in and makes me want to go explore.
Wow. Great light joke. Brava Tara.
Concrete is fascinating through your eyes,Tara! This is most remarkable and reminds me of many a (depopulated) Dutch painting.
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Nice shot and lighting!!
The light gives the feeling of coolness on a hot day with fascinating shapes to the concrete, looks like it was a candidate for trying a bit of HDR to get a bit more detail in the highlights.
Light and form - always there, but seldom seen except through the eyes of master photographer. Arresting and beautiful (although I know it wasn't designed for the aesthetics...)
Beautiful light and angles makes you wonder what's around the corner.
Beautiful....
Shadows, textures, depth & balance of light & dark - all working well together in this fine composition...
Superb composition...love the light and shade..so much to admire
Good exposure and nice capture.
Excellent piece
If those walls could talk eh?...What a marvellous job you did here my friend!
Nice shot and the shadows add to the photo.
Very cool capture
Not at all boring! Love that lighting, it makes it look almost like a classic painting. Beautiful!
Wonderful light and shadows!!
This is marvelous Hon - as always. You have such a great eye!
Yeah concrete can be so exciting :-) Excellent shot, Tara.
you have the eye for architecture! wonderful done with light and shadow, very interesting place! still lost in my change of system, no pictures for the next time, i am even not able to resize or frame my pictures..;) sorry was a little frustrated because i have a new i-mac & software...
Great pic Hugs Susan~
Beautifully lit, surprising that a place built for war, can be made to look so pleasant Good shot Tara! Rob
Well, ya know, the Romans invented concrete (they needed something to put all of their graffiti on, after all,) and so there's no way that concrete can be boring! I mean, not with an ancient Roman lineage. And I have to say that in looking at this shot, I know a few UrbEx (urban explorer) people who would commence to a bit of extreme (and possibly embarrassing) drooling over this image. It's got me drooling, and my Muse actually sat up, put down her iPod and started doing that Muse thing again...and that's a good thing. What I really like about this is the way in which you've captured the nice way in which concrete ages. The light and shadow, and sense of vacancy is marvelous! This is really super work! Oh, and by the way, did I tell you that I like this?
Excellent.
Love the play of light and shadow.. very nicely done!
One of the best things about coming to photos after everyone else has commented is getting to read what they wrote...love Chip's "sense of vacancy",...we've seen and experienced a lot of that in our coastal artillery haunts:) Ahhhh, the light!
Makes me think to LOST serie. Bravo.
