So many cool entries! Here's a few to dust off and add to the mix:

Arachni-tect

#35 - second picture: the use of the shallow depth of field and the mist really gives it almost a stereoscopic feel - I get drawn into it.

Very nice job!

Historic Yates Mill
Double Take (or maybe... Mirror Image)




This was taken a little later in the day than I'd hoped. If you live in the Raleigh, NC area, taking pictures of the mill is a must. Whether it be the water wheel (not pictured) when it's running or a view from somewhere around the mill pond.

I'd love to improve upon this by getting a bluer sky but maintaining the reflection. Maybe HDR would do that for me.

Thanks for looking,
Maryann

Stepping up:

I literally caught my breath when I saw these. Amazing!




Here is my humble submission.

1. Äiti's Barn (This was built on our family homestead in the 1920's by a Finnish carpenter in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I don't remember exactly how to spell his last name, but it was literally translated "carpenter from the East".)

OK, I know these still need some work, which I'll try to get in before 9 tonight... These were all taken with the P&S back in the day:

1. Brno, Czech Republic (I know the quality isn't that great, but I just love the figures in the architecture)

2. Plzen, Czech Republic (Used to live here. Pilsner beer? This is where it comes from! This is part of the secondary train station in town at sunset.)

Holy Names Academy - Catholic Girls School, Seattle WA

Building on University of Washington campus, as reflected in the window of a Lamborghini. The cars were on exhibit as Lamborghini donated money for a materials research lab. Actually, this was taken on my iPhone. Really.

Here's my first entries in any challenge here on the mini challenges.
Any comments, criticisms, critiques are very welcome.
