Weekly #818 - Architecture in Mono Competition

Wells Cathedral Chapter House - Rib Vaulting by MikeinDevon
The sort of image I had in mind for this competition showing a detail of the building.
Lots of detail throughout

The Ebrington Arms by johnriley
I like the IR exposure done on this image.
Shows the stonework involved in the building imagine it’s quite “olde worlde” inside.

The Cheesegrater by garethjmorgan
I wonder what the public make of this building. Look like a pile of boxes randomly stacked up.
Well exposed and sharp.

Manchester by sueriley
I liked the way the symmetry of the building and showing people dashing to get out the rain.

Alpha Tower - Birmingham brutalism. By davidwozhere
Hints of that old song boxes made of “Ticky Tacky and they all look the same”
Well taken.

Voûte céleste - Vault of heaven by Francisbd
Fantastic piece brickwork and well photographed showing the detail in this work.

Roof Beams by PRYorkshire
Certainly built to last and not too much dust to be seen. Somewhere else I’ll not see so
Thanks for sharing.

Winchester Cathedral by takuaman
Have only seen this building from the outside and I think you have caught this very well
Showing the age of the place and a reason to preserve such structures.

University Limerick by Flan
Very angular so beauty would be in the eyes of the beholder or architect. Nevertheless well exposed
through the shadows to the lights.

Architecture rising from the Architect of Nature by dewsburya
An impressive spire and wondering if this is part of a larger building hidden from view by the trees.
Fills the brief of showing a section of the structure..

Modern Living by Simonmac
Plain building but people have to have somewhere to live.
Lovely viewpoint from the top but would hope the lift is always working.

Chapel of St Peter-on-the-wall by retsoor
Looks quite old and shows how buildings were constructed with large cornerstones
for additional strength. Perhaps for the brief a corner would have been enough

Window Reflections by Noelcm
A perfect arch enhanced by the reflection of a tree. A fine example of modern architecture.

Thanks for the coveted second place!! The car park - known colloquially as the Cheese Grater - is a bit of a marmite building ; some people love it and some people hate it!
