January Photo Comp :- Landmarks : VOTE OFF
Landmarks
Landmarks have an instant connection with a place, but they're not always easy to snap. Composition and luck with the light can make all the difference. Don't limit yourself to nationally known icons either - if you have something interesting local to you then let's see it. Just remember to tell us where it is! Ancient, industrial, modern, natural, the choice is yours. A few from me to get you thinking. Beside the Temple Church in London (as featured in The Davinci Code) is the Knights Templar monument - quite a focal point in an area dominated by lawyer's offices. The Palm House at Kew Gardens. If you want to go for an instantly recognisable "biggie", such as Nelson's Column here, go for it! Banbury Cross, as in: Ride a c0ck-horse to Banbury Cross, To see a fine lady upon a white horse; With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes.[ Good Luck!

Re: January Photo Competition :- Landmarks
This may not be the most fantastic photo, it was taken on maximum zoom on a little Sony Cybershot a few years ago. Nor is it the most crystal clear.
It looks like a bunch of houses and a hillside, on a hazy day. I took this from the top floor of Debenhams in Nicosia, Cyprus. Its the viewing point over the Green Line, or the forbidden/buffer zone, which divides the city. That on the hillside is the Turkish flag and also the flag for the Internationally unrecognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus(occupied territory) Burnt into the hillside as a (possible) two finger salute to the Greeks. A reminder they can't cross the border, without a lot of faff*, and a reminder of a terrible time in the history of the island, which is still lingering on today. You can see it from rather a distance as its rather huge. *A bizarre, and most akward of experiences. Maybe one day people will be free to roam around the Island without UN intervention, and a great big fence running through the middle of a beautiful place, dividing its people.

Lakshmi Mittal's helter skelter is probably an ex-landmark by now. But hopefully it still counts. Last edited by keith_d; 20-01-13 at 07:16 PM. |
