New Group - Buildings, Architecture and Dings

Vinoy Tower St Petersburg FloridaActive Rain's recent Dings contest brought out some great buildings from the entrants, AND it was a lot of fun.

So - I thought this would be a great group to have. While this may have some overlap with the Photography group, I think there's enough distinction to follow through with a serarate group - we'll see.

In addition to any new posts that you may want to add to this group, you may want to go back to some of your previous posts with neat buildings and add this group to the groups where it's posted. You'll need to join this group first in order to have this group added to your posting options at the bottom of each blog that you post.

Your contributions are invited and welcomed.

Hey Sharon,

Great idea! I think old and unique buildings are great! It shows us where we have been and the direction that we are heading :)

Have a great day!

Hi Sharon,  I love to see different types of architecture and buildings.  This is a great idea.  Here in New England we have some wonderful older buildings -- I am going to have to get my camera out and get to work!

I love this idea!  I just went around town the other day snapping scenes of spring - great timing!

Sharon - would architectural style posts be appropriate for this group?  I added a post about Art Deco, but I can delete it if it does not fit within your original concept of the group.  Thanks for the invite....GREAT IDEA!

Scott - I think this group will have lots of old and uniqur buildings to show you.  Add some from your area!

 Joan - I'm glad you have your weekend cut out for you. Looking forward to seeing some New England buildings - I've missed them since moving from Newport RI to Florida in '72 (but haven't missed them enough to want to leave this wonderful weather and move back)

Melissa - your clock tower does a good job of combining architecture and spring colors.

Ines - architectural style posts are certainly appropriate for this group. That one of the reasons I included Architecture in the title as well as Buildings. They all relate.  By all means, I want to keep your Art Deco post in the group - I'm waiting for more styles which you promised back in the fall.

Cool idea, Sharon. I'm in. Thanks for doing this. I love taking pics of buildings (not just houses).

Margaret, Karen, Judi and Carole - thanks for your enthusiasm and contributions. It really should be fun.

Carole - your feng shui background could add some interesting comments on adapting old buildings to new occupants.

Thanks for the invitation Sharon. You have got me thinking in a whole new direction, a good thing. Mostly I do dirt, so buildings will be a huge change for me!

New thinking is good, Dena.  You must pass by some interesting buildings while you're looking at and for land...
