Think we have a few people here who enjoy great architecture. Found another post, 50 Beautiful Examples of Architecture Photography (http://www.noupe.com/photography/50-beautiful-examples-of-architecture-photography.html), that I thought you might enjoy.

There are also some of the bizarre architectural images, though I think they're all the same from the last thread we had on architecture. At the end is some architectural concept art, which is also pretty cool.

Hard to pick a favorite, but I'll go with this one

I like the way the colors play against each other in the image and the angles and curves the buildings make. I also like the reflection in the building on the right.

These look stunning, thank you.

I particularly like the Cellerium, as this form of architecture reminds me of our holidays in Puglia, Southern Italy. We stay in a beautifully restored trullo.

Cellerium is a nice image. I like the look down all the arches and sometimes black and white captures an emotion better than color.

We've visited some lovely old abbeys, etc in that style of architecture, and I agree that the image has far more depth in black and white.

Yeah I think the B&W captures a mood here that's very appropriate for the architecture. By the way for anyone reading this is the image we're talking about.

That image is one of my favorites. I also love the St. Mary's Sanctuary Upshot too. I'm a huge fan of ornate old churches. I love all the vaulting and arches and stained glass windows.

They also tend to have awesome acoustics. I sang in the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. when I was in high school and it was awesome.
