I love the strength and power this shot presents. As if the bridge span balances precariously yet delicately.

These very strong dominant highlighted buttress roots are of the Argyrodendron actinophyllum (Black Booyong Tree), a native Australian rainforest dweller. I was on a photographic with a couple of Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friends in the Wingham Brush Nature Reserve at Wingham, near Taree, NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day. We were strolling along the forest boardwalk hunting for potential subjects when I caught sight of the wonderful highlights painted across the tops of the buttress roots. I honestly thought I would duff this one as the dynamic range was very high but by zooming in for a detailed shot and using fill flash even from a distance, my longish exposure did a great job. Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/3.9 @ 1/5sec, ISO80, High powered flash, Hand held but supported. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

One of the five convict built stone buttresses built to help support the Great North Road in this particular spot where the wall is 10 metres high. Up to 700 convicts worked on the road at any one time. They were involved in initially clearing the timber, blasting, cutting and shaping the stone to fit each individual wall, shifting the stones into place and constructing culverts and drains. From literature, some of the blocks weighed up to 660 kg in weight and no mortar was used in the construction – they were simply precisely stacked. On Devine’s Hill (where these photos were taken) the stone was quarried from the huge cliffs near the road, using jumper bars and gunpowder. Over its whole length of 240 kms the convicts built 33 timber decked bridges with the same stone foundations and walls as can be seen in the wall. Unfortunately only a few of these bridges remain.

Another shot from Europe – the unfinished and famous Notre Dame Cathedral. This building is most known as the first major piece of architecture to feature flying buttresses, which was one of the biggest architectural revolutions as it allowed the creation of much grander structures and projects from then on.

The remarkable B’O’K (best known for her hard-hitting audiodocumentaries and breakcore-styled bastard pop) has finally created a t-shirt! YES! How many do you want? Oh, and for those of you unfamiliar with her plunderphonic intellectronica, please feel free to leisurely browse her myspace page (myspace.com/buttressokneel), or even read her interview with Some Assembly Required (some-assembly-required.net/blog/2007/05/bok.html). All of her songs and documentaries are totally free – the only cost is a small part of your mind… seriously, you won’t even notice it’s gone.

Take the classic “metal up your ass” Metallica t-shirt, a classic Bjork logo, and a classic Iron Maiden font, put them in Buttress’s hands, and what do you get? This. Hear some of her maniac breakcore mashup tunes at myspace.com/buttressokneel, see some of her filmclips at youtube.com/IWML – and buy her t-shirts right here! EDIT (APRIL 2009): although never intended as an album cover, this tee design has now become one – the free compilation now available on Night Terror Recordings! it’s a collection of Buttress’s favourite hard-edged breakplundermashcore tracks, plus a brand new noise track (featuring “Collette”...remember her?) The album (did we mention it’s free?) is available HERE

Buttress gave us this design, and we were all like “What does THAT mean then?”, and she was all like “It’s the Agenda” and we were all like “Oh, okay”. Notice, if you will, the Chemical Brothers font she used for the mysterious “B O K”... And, if you care to, do enjoy a selection of her audio works at myspace.com/buttressokneel, interwebmegalink.net, or numerous other odd places on the InterNet.

As you round the south-west corner of Winchester Cathedral, walking from the centre of town towards the College, this is the view that greets you. It looks all of a piece with the ancient walls, but a Latin inscription on the nearest buttress reads “HIS DECEM ADMINICVLIS SVFFVLTA EST ECCLESIA A.D. MCMXII”, or “With these ten buttresses was the church shored up. AD 1912” Although he took this route on his famous Winchester walks, the poet John Keats would have been nearly 100 years too early to have passed under this arcade. After a history of more than eight hundred years, at the turn of the twentieth century the cathedral faced catastrophic subsidence. Thanks to the heroic efforts of William Walker, an extraordinary practitioner of early diving-suit techniques, the building was saved for posterity. Clearly he had a large support team, but working purely by feel and in pitch dark over a period of several years, he managed to get huge quantities of concrete placed under the failing foundations. These buttresses followed, to help secure that work. Apart from the not inconsiderable fact that the great medieval building is still standing, this beautiful vista is William Walker’s most visible legacy. Winchester Cathedral is now one of English Heritage’s Grade 1 listed buildings.

Taken in Paris, France Feb 24/09 / This wasn’t my best shot, which got accidentally deleted…. but I am happy with the angle as it catches most of its best features. Hope you like it.

This lovely church, completed in 1815 in the style of Spanish Mission, was made world famous by the magnificent early works of Georgia O’Keefe and Ansel Adams. Since their time, thousands of succeeding artists have made the pilgrimage to Ranchos de Taos in honorarium, and to add their own images to the countless examples extant in the modern age. This is a composite of two photos subsequently cropped to create a single photo in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Pentax K20D, 1/160 @ F11, ISO 200, 20mm

I originally posted this as a color shot and then Mary Ann wondered what it would look like in black and white. I gave it a go with a red filter in Paint Shop Pro XII and I liked it, so here it is!

An architectural detail on the front of Glasgow University’s main building. By way of peripheral interest, the building was designed in 1866 by George Gilbert Scott, the architect who also designed the old St Pancras Station in London. If you compare pictures of the two buildings, there are distinct similarities. 3exp hand-held HDR; 3-layer Orton effect; Canon EOS 450D + 17-85mm zoom;

I saw this tall blade of grass along a trail the other day and was intrigued with its natural architecture. The primary stem is flat, about 2 cm wide and only 2 mm thick. The light green sections are buttresses which run between side branches to provide support. The plant reaches more than 140 cm in hight. Olympus E-3, Sigma 105 mm f/2.8 macro; f/6.3, 1/25 sec, ISO 100 Copyright © Richard G. Witham 2009 all rights reserved. / Contact the artist

This was shot in the historic Block Arcade in central Melbourne, in 2008. The semi-circular metal roof struts were the perfect foil for the soft light on the aches and the darker buttresses below. By incorporating a straight roof silhouette directly above my head, I was able to use a single clearly defined horizontal point of reference in an image dominated by contrasts of arcs, angles, light and shade. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/30 sec, ISO 400, 50mm.
