10 of the best: nature photographs.

That's a nice photo. Interesting building problem - they probably couldn't do a foundation to make the building level. Or are my eyes looking at it wrong?
Or maybe the photographer was leaning..

Daigo-ji Temple in Autumn, Kyoto, Japan

RP, Beautiful picture, but I notice some inconsistency in that photograph. Do you know what I'm thinking?

gorgeous

Nope, but I'm interested.

I'm thinking I'm mad at myself for not going on that trip to Japan, back in 1981, when I had a chance. The fellow who was taking a group from our landscape architecture program was from Japan and knew the places to see very well As usual I didn't have the money, but I should have just put it on a credit card and paid it off later.

The roof lines of Japanese buildings differ from Chinese ones. Prominent curves at the roof corners are not common in Japanese architecture.

Ah, I forgot about that, if I ever knew it.

I just found a dangerous website for me - the Saatchi online website re photography and other arts.

Back when I bring a few to this thread...

Fantastic photos. Wonderful art. I certainly prefer these to very modern art.

Wonderful black and white photos

Here's the photo by Salgado that got to me in that museum show:



Off topic, probably, but it is about humans acting on nature.

Sebastião Salgado
Gold Mine, Figure Eight, Brazil, 1986

I'd be afraid the rock will crack! Call me chicken.

-fashinating photo by Salgado. Not really off subject. After all we humans arepart of nature. Now I am off topic.
