Actually, I was trying to shoot the picture without any buildings.  I even

asked a number of my friends and family members if I had managed to
exclude 
everything but the trees.  Everybody said there was only trees.

This is why I post here;  photographers notice stuff that
non-photographers 
miss.

Where in the photo is the building?  Do you think I could crop the shot a 
bit tighter to cut it out while retaining the effect I obtained?

Thanks for the feedback.  I really appreciate it.

Take Care,
Dudley
