Really nice story here - the reflections...the feeling of the sepia tones all contribute to the total effect.

This is a really neat shot, sorta reminds me of "The Wizard of Oz", the way the sky is before the tornado hit in the movie. Awesome effect.

I like it. The sky is great, the toning is great. The top of the spire looks like Darth Vader on a bad day.

An original Hoito shot in a town full of unoriginal Hoito shots. (Haha - "Don't" print this one either!) Amazing.
