Welcome to Farktography!

This Week's Theme: "Farkitecture"

Description: Buildings, bridges and other man-made structures.


We ask that before submitting your photos you read and adhere to the following submission rules, including but not limited to the following:

- Submissions must be photographs; screen captures do not count as photographs.
- You must be the original photographer of your entry. Do not submit anyone else's photography as your own.
- You are only allowed to enter a photograph once. Do not submit the same photo to another contest later.
- You may enter 3 photos in each contest as long as each photo is of a different composition.
- Please post each photo separately so they can be voted for individually.


Please note:

The overarching ideal behind Farktography is that image corrections are acceptable, while adding or removing elements in the image (e.g. removing telephone poles, adding Elvis) is not acceptable. HDR, stitching, or otherwise combining exposures in post processing are not allowed unless specified for a particular theme (multiple exposures done in-camera are acceptable, however). See the rules for more information on acceptable modifications, or check in at the Farktography Forums.


Legal: All photographers submitting photos to this contest are the legal copyright holders for the photos submitted and the photos are not to be considered free for any other use without written consent from the submitting photographers.

The Riverside Church in the City of New York, the tallest church in the United States and the 26th tallest in the world. It is six blocks from my apartment. The angel is on top of one the spires leading up to the bell tower.

Fortress of Solitude



No basement; had to build it...

The Parachute Jump is a defunct amusement ride in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, whose iconic open-frame steel structure remains a Brooklyn landmark. 262 feet tall and weighing 170 tons (150 tonnes), it has been called the "Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn"

Happy St. Patrick's Day

One of two.

"On our left, we see the memorial to the mostly forgotten diving buffalo of Coney Island. While very popular in their short heyday, they we mostly forgotten after the introduction of the diving horses. Leaving only this monument to their glory days."

Ok, it's really a place at Caprock Canyon State park....

Early Farkitecture
Stonehenge

this is at the LA/MS state line on hwy 90. note the bridge tender enjoying the day.

"Entering the Atrium"


Atrium Dome of the West Baden Springs Hotel. Built in 1901, this was the world's largest free spanning dome until a sports dome took its place in the 1960s. This was shot at 12mm on a 30D, and I couldn't get the entire atrium in. Even if I'd had the 10mm at the time, it wasn't enough.

Tower Bridge


(much cooler larger)

Still considered the 'Gateway to Sacramento', the central-lift drawbridge has lost little of it's grandeur.
It would afford a nicely framed view of the State Capitol building if one could stand in the middle of the roadbed...
