The restoration was just beginning. Funny, the modern restoration looks to be taking longer than the original construction.

because I didn't take it. It was taken by a friend's THREE-year-old son! It is poignant for me because a year or so after it was taken the boy died from complications with the flu. I use it as my background. I think it is one of the most beautiful pix I've ever seen.

Sorry to hear about the loss of the boy. What a fantastic legacy he left though for his family and friends. The world is a little brighter because of him.
