Welcome to Round #84 of the Dgrin mini-challenges.

This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from now Thursday, October 22, 8:00 pm, EST time to Thusday, November 5, 9:00 pm, EST. (2 weeks)

The topic ready for your interpretation: Architecture


Your Judge:
-sdways01 (Adam)

I have always found buildings to make interesting subjects. Sometimes it is for how simple it is while looking great. Sometimes it is due to the detail and massive amount of work that went into building it. And sometimes it is just an interesting old building that draws you in.


Your entries can be of the whole building, a small detail, or anything in between.

Guidelines:
1. Enter 1-3 photos and put them in a single post.
2. Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
3. Also try and resize your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (~800 pixels on the longest side works best.)
4. Give each image you enter a title.
5. Enjoy discussion with members about their images, dont let this just be an entry thread!
6. Dont be hesitant, share'em and enter!
