I saved this pic under "Deceving Calmness In Northern Ireland". I like it very much, not due to the fact that it could possibly be a political metaphor but rather for the entity of nature and man-made structure. Of course I avoid approaching my head too close to the computer screen. You never know what could happens to me with this ominous funnel :) . Congratulations!

I plan to mainly use this as wallpaper, it is an interesting image, very dark/medieval looking, even though the wall/building is manmade they seem to have sprung out of the surrounding hills/mountains and the funnel thing (especially where it's placed in the picture) looks like some kind of vortex where everything in the background is going to be sucked into it, maybe when night falls. I also often use photos as writing inspirations and reference for places and things and peoples I've never seen, this one will most likely be used for those things

Nice image, but disturbing in some sense.

That stone funnel in the water remembers me an old bridge in the village I was living when child; it had an artificial waterfall below it that looked like this funnel, very dark and with no end in sight. It always scared me that I could fall there, for no reason. Augh!
