Thank you for your kind comment. The place did have a magical feeling. It would have been better on a not so busy evening, but it was Saturday and quite warm compared to other days. I was there Sunday, but it was supposed to get chilly (it did). Compromises are always necessary.
It would be really neat to visit the place in its fully former glory, but there is so little evidence of what that would have looked like.
You caught a glimpse of another life, your imagination took it a bit further using night photography it opened a world of what possibly was.
Thanks ~ the time to visit there is definitely at night. I keep telling myself I need a better camera lens, though.
