Following the path between these ruins is producing a beautiful series.

Another beautiful shot in the series. I would be interested in knowing how you go about PPing these for B&W if you would like to share. I've been trying B&W recently using PSE and ACR but I'm still working out the best way.

@olli: I convert the image with photoshop -Image-mode-grayscale and then I make the image duotone using as a second color a grey pantone and I make the contrast and the lighting with the levels

this reminds me of the roman ruins i saw in jordan -- of course very different though. love the smooth stones and the pathway with grasses growing up between them... also the shadow work as it falls across parts of the church remains -- and another beautiful sky! :)

awesome tones! especially like how the tones give the feeling of texture on that round structure in the distance

Great shot, the tones are lovely. I like the angle of the path, and the magnificent sky.

Not much left of the church but the spot where it was built seems very nice.

The stones oddly echo the clouds and they seem to blend together. A nice series.

I like how the path leads your eye to the inside of the church and then up to the clouds.
