Thanks Don. Close up shot is ready but I'm not able to upload it from my mobile phone internet connection so it'll have to wait til I'm back at my PC!

Thanks to all of you, Lorraine, Tania, Mary, Alandra and Mike for your delightful comments which are much appreciated. Mike, you're absolutely right about the angle. To tell the truth this was a literal "snapshot" that I grabbed just before it started to rain, and I was anxious to get my camera back in its bag before the heavens opened! I've subsequently tried to correct the convering verticals, but that has introduced some other subtle distortions.

I'm going to try and prepare an enlarged crop of the judgement day details so that it will be easier to see.

Thanks Whittler! Actually there's no writing, it's all purely symbolic. Unfortunately with the resolution restrictions that a site like this has to impose, the detail's got a bit lost!

WOW!! very nice shot and a very ornate entrance,but I can't make out the writing.
