Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Architecture.
Manhattan, of course, is full of dramatic architecture. But it’s sometimes hard to grasp it all from the inside. You need to stand a bit apart—or even better, sit in a kayak!

This week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post is One Shot, Two Ways, and from Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? it is Architecture.
New York City overwhelms with its architecture, old and new, at ground level and high above. The photographer has to choose whether to capture the details of the architectural landscape or to portray the soaring verticals…
Another “One Shot, Two Ways” post was here.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Contrast.
And New York City is a city of contrasts, photographically and otherwise:
A couple of these photos are already elsewhere on this blog, but I do like them and they seem to fit well this week’s theme…
More New York Cityscapes are here.
Some other nice interpretations I’ve seen:

I always promise myself that I will go out especially to take photos of New York City’s spectacular architecture. And I will… some day!
In the meantime, though, incidental photo-ops offer themselves… I posted some of the results a while ago in Beauty and the Beast. Here are a few more.
