post your Architecture photographs!

..........[*]The second is of window lights to the left side of the altar in Coventry Cathedral. Unlike most of our cathedrals which are generally well over 500 years old, this one was built in the 1960's to replace the one destroyed in WWII. To me this image has an Orwellian feeling about it..........

Some really nice pictures here,


Steve, I love image number two!!

Thanks Allen. This is one of my favourites. It's almost unreal with a feeling of foreboding. I think it's something to do with the high small windows looking down as if someone is keeping an eye on you. Come to think of it, perhaps that's what we're supposed to think in a cathedral!

Mother natures architecture: The great Shawnee chief Tecumseh sought refuge at this site. Bear creek carved a deep narrow channel and Spring Creek punched a hole in the sandstone to form a natural bridge.
Following the defeat of his Indian confederation at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, Shawnee chief Tecumseh, sought refuge at this site.
Tecumseh died in battle of Thames near Windsor Canada but the exact site where his body fell is unknown.. The surviving Indian's carried his body away so that no whiteman could lay hands upon him..
At this site in the area of the Portland arch grows plants only native to Canada which leads many historians to believe they may have buried Tecumseh in this deep ravine near the bend in bear creek and the waterfall...

I'm not much of a one for architectural photograph (but actually kind of love the results of others and am trying to learn....), so this is my only recent attempt...

I too quite liked the photo of Coventry Cathedral--very evocative, borderline abstract. The tones and texture reminds me a great deal of the drawings/delineations that Hugh Ferriss did back in the 1920s and 1930s for buildings in New York City:

Thanks for the link Bruce. I took a look and sort of see what you mean.

Jim--

Very cool indeed!

Steven--

We should talk sometime. I've enjoyed your photos.

Here's one from a few years ago, what remains of the Farmington Meetinghouse near Rochester after a terrible windstorm in 2005. I did a bit more volunteer documentation when its status was less clear than today. Here's more information on the poor building and the plans to make something of it:

Likewise, 4x5, Delta 100, not sure on the lens or settings.
