  • @Crisco 1492, MER-C, David Eppstein, Bammesk, and Choliamb: Just to note, I noticed there was a dark edge to the top of the image, so I spent a little time adjusting it. I don't think it's the archway I believe he was shooting through (the dark corners) as it doesn't follow the line of it, I think it was just standard guttering at the edges of an image.
