The Sibyl Temple was originally built in 1929 as a garden gazebo at Vestavia, the Shades Mountain estate of former Birmingham Mayor George Ward. It is a replica of the Temple of Sibyl in Tivoli, Italy near Rome. It now sits atop Shades Mountain along U.S. Highway 31 at Shades Crest Road in Vestavia Hills, which takes its name from the former estate.

It’s a fabulous POV, Rian, and perfect in mono. I’m also getting my education. Thank you.
Nice shot Rian. I like the framing
I like how you composed this shot to include the sign and the setting of the temple.
The fence curves around just right to enhance the shot. Well done.
Brilliant detail, composition and tonal range…a wonderful image!
