    Another wonderful urban scene by Mr. Spencer. A study of contrast, dark and light, shadows, angles, textures, and the wonderful arched window and single human figure. Definetly a winner !

    If you compare that to deaths caused crossing the street, maybe we should all spend our days on a ladder.

    I forget his name right now, but there was a local preacher killed recently in a fall from a ladder here in Charlottesville.

    Wasn’t that Jim Knight the doctor who was working at his church?
