23rd September 2014 - Curved roof

I went out looking for architectural detail today and when I saw this curved roof I thought I had found just what I wanted. I have tried to crop leaving only the roof but it looks silly. So here we have the whole building. This is the visiters centre at Stanick Lakes which is a country park near where I live. B&W seemed to bring out more detail of the tiles.

My cold has got the better of me this evening and I have blurry eyes so I will leave my other shots for the morning.
@taffy @newbank @888rachel @golftragic @sullivar Sorry I have failed in my search for architectural detail - tomorrow is another day!! LOL!!

I like the curve of the roof against the dramatic sky - very nice

I think it would make the architect very sad to think you don't see the curved roof as "architectural detail"! Looks like a special detail to me! Not something you see often!

@Weezilou Thanks Louise. I was thinking I had to go in close for a detail.
September 23rd, 2014  
@pamknowler OK...I see your mindset... In the larger picture, a roof is a detail of a building :)
September 23rd, 2014  
Yes definitely architectural. I think it works well on the black-and-white and maybe is accentuated by the black-and-white. I also see of the curves like the walkway and the lawn and that little wall that is attached looks curved.

Love the curve of the roof and the sky.
September 23rd, 2014  
Nice architectural detail and sky
September 23rd, 2014  
Like your processing and great sky roof curve combo.

Great subject for the architectural challenges! Amazing roof structure!
September 23rd, 2014  
Good b&w

This is quite wonderful. What a great find

You have hit on something different.

Wonderful architecture. Beautiful curves.
September 24th, 2014  
Wonderful liines on the roof....perfect B&W!
September 24th, 2014  
Great find with the curved roof.
September 24th, 2014  
Oh, I would not call this a failure. It actually emphasises the curve of the roof to have the whole building, and the dramatic sky enhances the shot. Nice find Pam.

Beautifully captured. I love it in B&W.
September 24th, 2014  
I like your processing, great contrasts :)

September 24th, 2014

Love the curve and the processing

That's an interesting and rather elegant roof, Pam. Sorry you have a cold; it's such a misery. Take care of yourself and get better soon.
September 24th, 2014  
What an interesting building, especially that roofline. I don't see this as a failure at all Pam. It's well worth its spot in the project. Get well soon, colds are so miserable.
September 24th, 2014  
Beautiful curve to that roof. Hope you are starting to feel a little better x
September 25th, 2014  
The b&w really accentuates the gentle arc of the roof. Hope you feel better soon.

I like this building, in fact I love all odd looking structures and wonder how they do it? I went to college and majored in Mechanical Engineering, couldn't finish because to finish I had to go to a school a whole state over, so I took up Drafting. I love the design and what you have to do to make it stand and withstand!! This is great and really like it in B/W, I think it also brings out better textures!! Great job! FAV!
