Up close... at Kellie's place... 🏰

It's been awhile... more than a year, upon checking. And I've missed posting here.

Nothing like some textures, old buildings, a castle, no less... or something broken, uncompleted... to get the black and white creative juices going.

So, I started playing around some shots taken recently, and thought these came out 'interesting' in b&w.

Shot at Kellie's Castle, Batu Gajah, Perak, Malaysia.

Nothing like patterned repetitions along a long corridor to catch one's attention... and the camera

Crumbling brickwork, plaster and concrete...

Impeccable photographing skill.
This castle is very beautiful. Wish I have can visit there.
Much respect to architects and engineers that brought this into existence.
The long corridor pillars are extremely beautiful.

Great architecture details! I love the textures of the concrete and rocks as well. And just like you did, it comes out marvelous in B&W.
