Our Other Blog: Two Sisters and Two Points of View
by Taswegian1957 & Human59
I love old ornate buildings from previous centuries. Today’s buildings mostly lack the grace and beauty of the past. There is nothing grand about dark glass and slabs of concrete thrown together to make a skyscraper. I love arches, domes, beautiful brickwork ,tiled flooring, stained glass and big impressive doorways. Before I end up getting into a rant about how ugly today’s architecture is here are my photos for this weeks Fun Foto Challenge.
I do like the shape of arches and domes. I have taken quite a few of them over time but rather than be predictable I’ll try to find some photos I haven’t shared before. I found several photos of buildings around Hobart.
The old Post Office in Bellerive, now a museum.
Well I have used this photo before but it is one of my favourite buildings. Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. I love the big dome and the big arched front entrance. I’ll be gutted if the latest “improvements” spoil it.
A few more domes, this time in Singapore.
Arches and a dome at the National Museum.
I often use the Black and White Challenge to be creative with some old photos, especially if I don’t have the time or the means to go and take new ones. This week I dived into my files and found a few that I had not used in challenges before, a couple that I had posted in colour previously and a couple that I deliberately cropped to make them look odd.
