Post your architecture shots

I love buildings, so let's see some! Whole buildings, details, large or small structures of any kind...

Those are great! I especially like the first one with the 3-phased reflections. Nice.

Aah, the City by the Bay! I love that place. I grew up down the road, in San Jose.

Good ones, srika. Chicago looks like a photgraphers heaven. Love the lighting in the first shot.

Which building is in the third shot?

Not a building, but maybe still architecture?

The Texas Star




Castle ruins in Scotland



Again, please forgive my truly awful scanner. Someday I'll re-scan with something better. (Maybe)

I love the contrast of old, beautiful churches against a new, modern-looking building.... again, I apologize for the very amatuer nature of my shots...

This is in NYC

Hmm, not sure why - they're showing up for me. It's yahoophotos, not flickr, so who knows.

Anyway, here are some links if you like:

Thanks, wndrist, must be my finicky PC. Very nice shots. I really like the Texas Star pic. Great perspective and nice tight composition. I really get a sense of the wheels size.

Great shots, Astroboy! That's the CN Tower in Toronto right? What's that, about 1700' high?

I love the first shot on this page. That's a very cool building, and the cars at street level give a good sense of scale. Toronto looks like a great city to shoot. I must visit someday.

Good shots! No apologies allowed I think most of us are amateurs here. I like the reflections in the second shot.

Achitecture isn't my main thing to shoot, so I reall don't have too much online to share. I might have a few more at home...

Good ones, Dan. I love shots like this one. Simple composition (the best kind?), and yet you can't stop looking, like a painting. Good detail shots, too. This sort of ties into the abstraction thread you started.

I still can't figure out what the last one is

Thanks. The last one is a gate for a storage yard of all things. It was next to a streetcar stop in Toronto (Casa Loma area).
