Architecture is inhabited sculpture ~ Constantin Brancusi ~
~ Every week weather permitting, I am setting myself a little photographic challenge, the current one is architecture. Just in case it rains all week here are a few images from my archive. Should I search out some new buildings, I do like modern too!

The shoe factory is my favourite. Thank you.
How very beautiful! That half-timbered house is gorgeous! And what a good idea to set yourself a challenge.
I have many favourite buildings, but of your selection here, the half timbered houses I think.Fougeres looks like a fascinating place.
I'll take whichever one is warmest!
I love architecture...my grandad always told me to look up whenever I visit somewhere new as that's the only way to see the city :-)

I love the angle at which you have shot these buildings - you're getting better and better, Blu.
Lee I love the shoe factory, Ladyfi I dont always finish my weekly challenge!
threadspider, it is a fascinating town.
J Cosmo, I think the old shoe factory is your best bet.
Carol, that is wise idea for any photography look up, French Fancy they are not recent photographs!
Hi Blu
I find it difficult to decide on a favourite building as I like both modern and old...usually very modern and very old.
