    This months photo topic is "Buildings & Structures" .

    Try to get out and find creative composition of buildings or structures near your. This can be from the outside or inside (Guggenheim in NY for example has a well known image shot up through the circular winding ramp through the glass ceiling.)

    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    This little bridge may not span a mighty river but is one of the first bridges built in Tasmania and is over 200 years old located at Chigwell.

    Thank you José. The building I teach my photography class out of was built at the same time by the same people. It's original purpose was that of a barn to house the horses use in the construction of the road and other buildings of the era.

    This summer I am in Torredembarra, which is the town where my mother was born. I have found a company to give me Internet access for two months, and now I am launching it. I send you these three photographs of the train track near the apartment:

    The first is the image of the structure that supports the electrical wires, through which the train is powered.

    The second is the cement structure, for the passage of people, that was made when the level crossing that existed there was annulled.

    And the third is a train that passed when I was there.

    José, it's interesting to see what your country looks like and the community you live in.

    Near Torredembarra, about 5 km away, around the year 13 before Christ, a citizen named Lucio Sura had an arch built in honor of Emperor Augustus, in power at that time. After some repairs this is the current appearance. It was built on the Roman road of Via Herculean, which follows the same route as National Highway IV, parallel to the Mediterranean Sea, from South to North, until reaching France.

    José, it is interesting to see such ancient architecture, down here in tasmania. 200 years is about as old as it gets for European occupation. Prior to that, the Aboriginals live as part of nature and did not build permanent structures.

    Craig, thanks for replying. Indeed, Europeans were largely colonized by the Romans, some more than others and there has always been a common residue in their culture. As I understand it, the Australian aborigines are related to a people who colonized many peoples of the Pacific Ocean, leaving their mark, in agriculture, fish farming and other arts.
