I took this photo in Krakow in May 2019, and keep coming back to it. Yesterday afternoon I have been worked on it for about 2 hours, making all kinds of tiny adjustments, and I think it’s now very nearly how I want it.

In the salt mine near Krakow, May 2019. Parts of this felt like a Doctor Who set.

I decided to revisit this photo, trying a ‘film noir’ black and white treatment. I also removed the red sign at the end of the passage.
