[susie123]

I wonder if Gremlin would mind clarifying whether the theme of Architecture, old buildings, includes any architecture or just old buildings?

Many thanks.
PS well done for the winning pic in the last comp!

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, I have added four pictures.......old buildings which have some architectural interest too(at least, I think they do).

[talentedbutslow]

Hi all
Well....I added one picture from my visit to the UK last year.
Unfortunately it loaded before I could add text as to what and where it is
This is a piccy of "The Folly" at Settle ,built in 1670 and taken from the upstairs window of the cottage I was renting.

I think that is what I was looking for when I chose the subject for the competition.
Maybe parts of old buildings which have some architectural interest.

Hope that answers Susie's question.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well done Russell on winning the last competition...a worthy winner....and glad my pics for the new comp are on the right tracks.

[susie123]

OK Russell thanks for the clarification. Too bad most of my pics are of modern buildings!

[ossy kid]

That's a toughy, off to Palm Springs for the month and all of my photos are on my home puter. Maybe I'll find an old adobe somewhere.

There must be some fine old building around Morecambe Susie,
There could be some interesting gargoyles or fancy corner stones or archways

It was just a subject which came up when Mick PM'd me.
Maybe I should have thought longer.

Don't worry Russell, I've got some pics from my archives to upload. Can't get out to do photography at the moment anyway.

It's a good subject and I'm sure there will be plenty of fine entries.

Morecambe's not really old enough to have gargoyles etc - didn't get going as a town till mid-1850s. Our house (1879) is one of the older ones in town and we certainly have nothing of interest!

[Margaret Pilkington]

Architecture can be modern as well. In fact it can be any age at all.......even a row of terraced houses has something architectural about them.
What about that hotel on the front...the one they did up.......isn't that a sort of Art deco style

Of course it can, that was my point in asking, but Russell wanted old buildings, fair enough.

I have quite a few modern buildings in my files but in my opinion the Midland hotel at Morecambe is not at all photogenic.
