Very Gothic-looking in a North American way. Dark and foreboding.

Good composition, sky, light, and of course the feeling of impending doom...

Very "end of the world" image. I like the composition, the B&W treatment is perfect and adds drama.
Well done!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The scene seemed to lend itself to a "foreboding" treatment, and I hoped I wasn't alone in thinking it appropriate.

Thanks! I'm so tired of seeing all of those over saturated shots of this scene!!

Every time one comes for framing,  I cringe a bit. It really is a nice place to shoot  but  all i ever see are those nasty over saturated pieces of crap... and the tourists seem to love them!

Whew. I'm sure glad I didn't post one of those.  ;D

It was my first visit there, but you're right it is a very inviting place to shoot, and I happened to be there at a good time.
