I'm an expat from Massachusetts, happily retired on the MidCoast of Maine & loving all that it has to offer. Photography, my Cats, the Red Sox & Bruins, History, and Fountain Pens all keep me happy & optimistic. All photos are my own ©. Please no DM's.

This is an unedited image, straight out of camera jpeg. My edits normally consist only of exposure, sharpening/straightening, contrast where needed, but I don't think I'd ever be able to improve anything here. Sometimes the stars & planets really do align........

I remember this was in a darkened room that I don't believe was meant to be open to the public that day, but the door was open so I sneaked in for some photos. There were several statues, very little light, and lots of creepy shadows.....
