It has to be a monochrome shot to place in context...well treated Janse.

A wonderful photo, Janse. Ominous and foreboding - perfect for the subject.

Such a bleak and foreboding place. Your image captures the despair perfectly. Like many individuals from my generation (post war), I'm drawn to visit some day, to try and comprehend the horror.

BTW, was that hand held? Excellent at 1/80.

A very striking image. Nicely done.

Thank you so much for your comments. Pentax shake reduction system helps a lot for a shaky hand as mine.

Call me a wimp but this image gives me the creeps!

Surely a great take on this "famous" place.

Sad and history.

I too thought this was processed perfectly for what the photo was of. I'd love to visit there one day.
