Richard,
It is always interesting to see how different people see the same spot. When
I was at the cloisters, I shot the bowl of flowers lit by a shaft of light
in the chapel, I shot down one of the rows of columns in the same spot you
shot http://gallery.leica-users.org/NYC/06_02_0177_web , and I shot a couple
playing touchy/feely at the end of that same corridor.
 Thanks for showing.
