Thanks, Moose. I found it an interesting walk, drawn in as I was by the idea
of a Scottish Rite Temple (which puzzled me until I discovered that it was for
a Freemasons' Lodge).
I liked the swan, but I was very interested to note that you managed to capture
the relief on the top of the temple facade with no distortion; was that
post-processing?
