Oh I'm glad you like it Sandra, Thanks. I will post another photo which shows more detail of the stonework. It's very ornate.

Yes I agree Feverfew. I think this is done in High Renaissance style borrowed from Italy. I posted another pic which shows more of the stone detail. It looks really nice at night under a full moon - seems to glow.
