Downtown Phoenix by Susan Bergstrom

One of biggest influence Red Bubble has had on my photography… is to look more at everything around you. We had just checked in to our hotel in downtown Phoenix and the first thing I always do is go look out the window. / I guess it is a need to see where I am in relation to everything and what do I get to look at for the next few days… / The first thing I see is this wonderful building that was coming alive as I stood there. It was starting sundown and the reflections were liike a motion picture as the colors were changing. Original digital photograph. Taken with a Sony Full HD 1080 Cyber Shot camera. Thank You for viewing my art. / My Fine Art and Photography Studio are located in Mesquite, Nv. VIEW susan’sgallery / VIEW susan’szazzle /
The Peace Garden Towers by charlena

The International Peace Garden is a 3.65 sq. mi. (9.46 km²) park located on the border between Canada and the United States, in the state of North Dakota and the province of Manitoba. Established on July 14, 1932, the park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an 18 foot (5.5 m) floral clock display, fountains, a chime, and twin 120 foot (37 m) concrete towers straddling the border with a peace chapel at their base. The chapel walls are inscribed with notable quotes about peace. / The Arma Sifton bells is a chime of 14 bells cast by Gillett & Johnston bellfounders. The bells were a gift from Central United Church of Brandon, Manitoba, in 1972. The tower was supplied by North Dakota Veterans and dedicated in 1976. / Carrillon TowerSome building remains of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001 have been placed in part of the garden. I had decided to give this some extra ummph taking out the sky and adding a night time one. I used the 2 photos I took and put them toghether and used brushed for the cosmic effect. It was a lot of work in CS3, but also fun to see the outcome. /
a different perspective by Sally R

I walk a lot. I look up a lot. I can’t see all my city close up, its growing too tall for me and hurts when I try. I want to bring it down to my level, something I can manage. i watch the Brisbane skyline become more out of my reach every day. This perspective gives me brief respite from the strain of trying to fit in. For a captured second it fits into me.

House For Sale by Ainsley Kellar

Took a drive downtown today to the sad part of our city and was struck by this boarded up shanty home. The neighborhood was extremely dicey, even in broad daylight at noon. I barely stepped out of my car, keeping one foot on the door frame, in order to get the shot and get away without being shot. So truly disheartening. But I had to try to capture this image, it needed to be documented. I was drawn to the graffiti someone scrawled on the boarded front door. The plea took my breath away… (For optimum graffiti visibility, please click the “view larger” option under the photograph) An Open Poem To The World To all those in the world today / Without enough to eat, / Be it body that needs nourishment / Or empty soul, so weak. / If I could take away your pain / Cook endless banquet feasts, / Or a hug to hold you as you wept / I’d be there til pain ceased. / Because it breaks my heart / To see a child suffer, / Or a friendless elder all alone / No love to be the buffer. / So I try to make a difference / In any way I can, / I try to be the gentle hearth / That warms their frigid hands. / I am no cockeyed optimist / I know the world is broken, / And thinking one can make it whole / Is nothing but a token. / But what if there were others… / Like-minded as I am? / Maybe we’re not perfect, / But perfectly we’d stand. / If all of us would take the time / To offer up some bread, / Or a shoulder strong and sturdy / To comfort someones head… / Just maybe it’d be different / Just maybe we could see, / A world we’d all be proud of / How amazing that would be!
Natural HDR by Paulo Rodrigues

Result of my last visit to London, at the National History Museum. A good thing of being a PhD, is the opportunity to go to such great conferences as MICCAI, in such great locations as London! / Took some shots in the museum, and then HDR them. The perspective is corrected. The girl in green in the middle, Neda, my dear friend, she was just there, standing and waiting for me :) It helps with the dynamic of the photo.

About This Group

This is for people, who love architecture, cityscapes, which are scape of cities ie the lines of rooftops, the whole city on a skyline etc. This is mainly for photographers, but if you draw / paint stuff that you feel belongs here feel free to join.

Also traditional art is very welcome.

As architecture, of course its not only in the city, such places as abandoned houses are great. Interior or exterior, are accepted as long as it is a good example of architectural art, a broken bunch of timbers or two or three stones left from a building do not count! An abandoned castle mostly standing..yes 10 rocks left of one NO …an abandoned victorian building or colonial etc yes…a bunch of timber left on the ground NO
Please submit bridge photos to the bridge groups unless they are part of a photo that is showing a cityscape. We are getting to many bridges and technically unless they are elaborate made of wood or arches made of stone ..they would best fit in those groups.
Photos where a boat, bunch of boats, a lot of water, ocean. large rolling fields etc is not architecture..if the foreground detracts from the archtecture do not add it.
There is a group called Streetscapes where you can submit many street scenes and things you see on them.

Diversity is a richness, instead of seeing only nature photography its good for change to see beauty in city.

2 photos / day to keep it clean.
We won’t reject anything without good reason.
This reason can be:
-Image that are techincally very low quality such as cell phone photos/very noisy/very off focus.
-Image that is not something that involves buildings, or ruins of the buildings, or other architectural subjects.
-Images where the composition is not pleasing, or poorly captured.
