  2. Apart from the symbolism of the door the vegetation is great, the photo is very good.
    Best regards.

  3. I don't suppose there's too much love for the barracks of the British army. It's a wonder it hasn't been completely obliterated from the scene.

  12. Looks like a highly neglected site. It would be fine if the world was a place not needing military bases.

  15. Beautiful image, I love the gate, greenery and the top of the building. Buildings sure aren't made today like they were in years past :(

  18. Agree with my cousin John. It's doubtful there's any interest in restoration. But the photo is great, Bill.
