So I am seriously the worst blogger. I have good intentions and start many a post but never seem to find the time to complete them. But I did want to participate in a fun thing from the blog Take Out Photo. We were supposed to take some photos of Architectural Details. I'm cheating and using some photos I already had. {my excuse is it feels like I have been gone for all of July and and leaving again on another trip soon} Today's the last day to post so...here are some of my oldie but goodies....
Inside of the Dome of The Capital Building in Washington DC.
Love the curving lines in this shot that create movement. It was such an inspiring building with so much history. Some day I will have to post about this amazing trip we took in May to see Kristi . And someday I will have to send a thank you to my cousin Mark who got us awesome VIP tickets to see the inner workings of this amazing place.
in Seattle, Washington.
Okay so its kind of cheating to put this shot on here. Any shot of a Frank O. Gehry building is a great one. We didn't even go in to the museum but its right by the Space Needle and it is so interesting to look at the building from different angles. You don't get a sense of scale but this is the huge side of the building. His style is not for everyone, but he does make simple materials take surprising forms.
Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Scotland
I'm posting this one for my husband. On our trip to the UK a few years ago this building was high on his list of places he HAD to see. His company built the building so he had seen some images of it and heard about its construction. We didn't have a great camera back then so most of our shots are not very good. This was the best photograph but not the most interesting part of the building really. It's just a back hallway. But I like the slight "M.C. Escher" feel to this shot. You are not sure what is up or down. If you are ever there in Edinburgh I suggest you check this building out.
Stunning photos! There's nothing wrong with posting something you've already done--it gives you the opportunity to share. That middle one makes me miss Seattle.

Fantastic shots. I struggled also with trying to decide if I should post old shots or go with new ones. I think you made a great choice.
