Such an important place. Love how you captured the light behind it.

I have heard of this seed bank and now I see it.
Great shot with the sun fading away for the day.
Nice viewing detail as always.

I agree with Neil and J Ponces, How not to think to the movie by S. Kubrick ! Great image of a subject concerning both present and tomorrow... V.

So beautiful! Reminds me of the 2001:A Space Odyssey monolith! BV

Stunning image Yiannis. This just looks extremely cold! The artwork at the transom is beautiful however I doubt it gets much appreciation based on its location.

Such an unusual, bejeweled looking adornment on this vault! What seeds are stored in there?
