Cyanotype photo of Rochester bridge. Colour is all varying shades of blue with water under the bridge and sky above.

A cyanotype of my #photo of #Rochester Bridge. I used acetate to print a black and white and them exposed to the sun for 5 minutes.

A brown bottle with a long spike coming from its head sits against a brown and beige coloured log. Close up photograph.

This week's submission for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Texture. An interesting beetle sits upon a rugged and textured log.

A fly sits on some brown fabric with the word Oxford written on it.

A very well educated fly!

Thank you!

A blackbird sits in a tree with bright yellow-green leaves. It's beak is open as it is mid-song.

It was great to hear this blackbird singing away in the sunshine. Even better to hear a second bird returning its calls.

A lush green tree partially obscures a modern building that is shaped like a leaning egg against a blue sky.

The old Londpn City Hall on the South Bank of the Thames. The area looks really nice with the lush green trees during the #spring and #summer months.

A modern glass building is photographed against a pale blue sky.

I know not everyone likes modern buildings, but there is something about them when photographed cropped in close against the sky that just works.

Boats sit in the old dock water while colourful buildings rise up in the background on the other side of the dock.

Nice one!

Yellow and green plants surround rocks in a rock garden in the foreground. While in the background two large buildings with triangular roofs and glass fronts stand out from the blue sky with wispy clouds.

Architecture and gardens at the RHS Hyde Hall Gardens in #Essex - a stunning garden landscape that you can easily spend the whole day enjoying.

A black and white image of the side of a building. To the left is a square opening with a diagonal staircase going through it. To the right is a large vertical rectangular vent with slats. A railing runs horizontal along the front.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow submission for #Lines is this geometric series of straight lines in black and white.

A red victorian crane attached to a yellow brick building.

Cranes along the River Thames harking back to a time when the river was the lifeblood of trade and industry coming in from across the world.

Another great photo: thanks for sharing!

Like it! Minimal, geometric - you can't go wrong!

Great use of the perspective angles of the two walls in this photo. Keeps my eye centred to view the entire photo as one as opposed to dashing around all over.

Great photos! The street view is my fave

There's been countless photos looking down stairs, but this one seems to be set apart from the rest. The angles work really well, and the bars on the right framing the image also give a finite end. There's something in the perspective as well. All in all a really cool photo!

Looks like a scene out of a horror film, or perhaps The Matrix

A viaduct crosses over a green landscape of trees and grass.

Headstone Viaduct in the #PeakDistrict. Now part of the Monsal Trail walk, it was formerly a #Victorian viaduct for the Midland Railway to span the River Wye.

A modern building with few windows and a lot of grey cladding rises up towards the sky in this photo taken at ground level looking up the building in London.

A photograph of an imposing London #building. Some of my favourite subjects are buildings. I enjoy modern and old, but modern blocky #geometry definitely lends itself to photography.

Caterpillars climb down a single strand of web. In the background more web is visible

Slightly different 'spin' on the #Architecture #Photography during May. I didn't say it couldn't be animal/insect 'buildings'. These caterpillars spun a very intricate silk web, but I liked this singular supporting strand.

I look forward to using it more - I'm on black and white only at the moment!

Thank you!

This is stunning!

A metal girder bridge covered with green moss runs diagonally across the top left of the image whilst a road, partly blocked by trees, runs down the right side of the image below the bridge. Trees with bright green leaves fill the rest of the photo.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Green. And so I present to you this photograph from the Peak District I took during a cycle ride along an old railway.

I think the shadows cast by the shutters really make this image something special. The pointiness of them gives a sense of menance and possibly violence, which is quite amusing when compared to the innocence of the purple lantern/rest of scene

This is definitely a good example of an effective crop/composition giving a slightly mundane scene much more interest - nice work!

Sometimes a reflection just makes the photo, especially here where is been broken up by the grass poking through - provides a bit more interest than a flat reflection
