in The Dgrin Challenges

We've had general architecture mini's but this time I want to get a bit more specific and focus on arches and arcades.
They can be old, modern, open, closed, free standing, part of a structure. The only requirement is that te arch/arcade shape can be clearly recognised.

Here's a few examples from me, but you can safely assume there are many more options possible within this brief.

Backside of the belfry in Brugge

Closed arches and reflection

Defensive arches

Arches under a bridge

Victory arch

Looking forward to your contributions and making my (judging) life difficult
This mini will be open for ~3 weeks and close on friday september 24 at noon (NWE time)

And if you haven't participated before, please take a look at the un-official rules here: https://dgrin.com/discussion/248032/mini-challenge-un-official-rules#latest

    Mine are poor and blatantly obvious examples, but thought I'd join in anyway!

    1) Arches in the obvious - Arches National Park

    2) Arch Rock - California Coast (with wave shooting through)

    3) Moccasin Creek Hatchery & Reservoir (during drought and refurbishing). In Tuolumne County, Ca.

    Thanks Joyce and Jo for kicking off this mini.

    But for all others, we need more entries and there's still 11 days to do that, but don't wait too long otherwise you might forget.

    Since I have so many arch pictures I felt downright compelled to enter, although please don't judge these as entries as the coming weeks are somewhat full for me.
    These photos are all from our June trip to "arch country", France.

    1) Albi cathedral

    2) Doorway

    3) This is one of the more generous-sized arches in the Gorges du Tarn
