take out photo challenge

i've been pondering this month's photo challenge for several weeks now, paying special attention to architectural details (thank's for the loose definition, marc!) i even took a few stabs at shots around town. but it wasn't until yesterday, on a quick trip to a wedding in charleston, that inspiration finally struck.

i couldn't really decide on one photo, so i give you three. i don't have photoshop, so there is only some minor editing done here. i'm fairly pleased with the results, and certainly intrigued enough to continue trying my hand at photographing the architectural details in my life!

i would have loved to spend a few hours much closer to the new beautiful bridge over the Cooper River, but had to settle for some faraway shots. i love the contrast of the element of water in the foreground, with the element of metal behind.

i eneded up with about 20 shots of these amazing buffets. i believe i could decorate my entire home with cherry and stainless steel! again, i'm drawn to the pairing of two elements: wood and metal.

a most amazing compass rose laid out in brick.

you've still got a few days to try your hand at this challenge! what are you waiting for?
