What an intriguing building, is it a bird is it a plane or is it a train! Seriously though, it's a super shot of an amazing building. Is it old and derelict or new and un finished. I noticed the roof?

Location
This is Bishop Castle, an eccentric person's dream in the making in Colorado!Time
This was taken near noonLighting
Light was pretty harsh on a spring day when this was takenEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 80D and 18-300mm SuperZoomInspiration
Bishop's Castle is always a work in progress - I've been stopping by here since the 80's, it never gets finished and things change every time I visit!Editing
this was massaged slightly using LightroomIn my camera bag
These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
I always look for unique places to visit when traveling, it's fun to take farm-to-market roads instead of super-slabs!
