Directly across from the main entrance, inside the hospital, was this small building. I imagine it was the original gatehouse of the Carthusian monastery (c. 1641).

It was a pretty busy intersection; I needed to time out this photo to avoid cars and people in the shot.

What kind of lens was this? It looks almost flat in the center, but then the edges have a curved look to them. Very neat.
Thanks; Sigma 12-24 @12mm - the roads that actually do curve away.
Good work as always . Motts
Cobblestone is amazing. Love the arched doorways...what a wonderful building.
Love the arch doorways.
I love the simple symmetry of the shot...building in the middle...roads going away on either side. Nice work!
I love the way the two lines in the center foreground lead you right through that archway. Now there's a noseprint on my monitor.
Lots of great lines and curves. Such a cool building!
