I have a nice size tiff from the scan,so i can play with the sky abit.

Its next to a concrete damn so you can get close.The morning sun should be good for this. I have to watch as to side shots,as they have roads near the building that i want to keep out,but its a nice town,spending a day there will not be a choir.<vbg> Thanks for the comments.
