Well, there are two reasons. Firstly, in the late afternoon there are more chances to take a photo with no people around. Secondly, the entrance is lit by the sun during the midday hours when is the worst time for photography. During this time, it is hard to have no parts overexposed.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 22:59, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would love to see this same picture taken in the summer with the trees in full green. And if any are flowering trees... JBarta (talk) 23:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
