We've had some big electrical storms lately. The top of the building was hit by lightning and broke off some of the ornate facade. Luckily no one was around at the time to be hit by the falling pieces. This building is about 1 km from my house and the noise from the strike was shattering.
Lovely symmetry and fine detail achieved with very strong light, its a stunning looking building sympathetically captured Sheralee, hopefully it can soon be returned to its former glory:)
