So far, the pictures in this thread focus on permanent structures. But what about all those temporary creations that don't get a chance to stand the test of time (or where never meant to)?
Here's one I shot while at camp last weekend. It was brought into camp in pieces by the scouts and lashed together to create a cooking surface for a couple of days, then untied and packed back out.
And finally, these 2 small old buildings really caught my attention. They sit right next to the main drag through campus. The one I took the most pics of is being totally modernized inside, but on the outside, it could be one of the oldest bldgs on campus - check out the gutter spouts and arched stone windows. Very cool, if only my photos did it justice.
Speaking of contrast betweeen "new and old" -- here is a moat wall (approx 800 years old) outside of Osaka-jo (the "Osaka Castle" in Osaka, Japan), with a modern skyscraper in the background.

The underside of the roof of an old pole barn at a local Boy Scout Camp where I spent last weekend.
It's not sephia-toned, that's the actual color under the available lighting. I tried it in black and white but the original looks best I think.
