Stone grotto / steel tracks...sure, why not. The tracks certainly look out of their element which creates some visual tension here. It's a nice shot.

Hi,
I like historical pics, your story sounds like Hearst castle Ca. that I visited many years ago. Not being an expert, I tried to use the burn tool on a 50 % grey overlay, especially on the rock towers. They do seem to come out better after that. Paul.
