I hope this applies...this is the Hyde Hall Covered bridge near Otsego Lake in NY. I came out to this park three times last winter trying to get good shots, and sadly this is the only one worth looking at. Kodak Recomar 33, Efke PL100 9x12cm, D-76 1:1, scanned neg.

Well, it used to be architecture:
It's the ruins of a colonial common house in Jamestown, VA. I wanted to exaggerate the height as much as possible, so I jacked the camera up as high as I could reach; I also used a pretty substantial front tilt.

This one is still standing:
It's the central monument at the Jamestown site, framed by a catalpa tree.

I should also mention that this and the preceding were taken with the Toyo 45A that I bought on the forum from Jay Decker. It's in great shape and fantastic for my needs: a little heavier than my Tachihara, but much more precise. So my thanks to Jay for giving it up!
lots of great pictures here!
