Landmarks

Posted by Nick Carlson on 1/10/2006
Here you can find photos I've taken of architectural landmarks around Europe, Mexico, China and the US.

Images
Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacan
Here I am standing on the "Walkway of the Dead" in Teotihuacan, Mexico. This is the bigger of the two pyramids, The Pyramid of the Sun. I love the irony in that it's under a dark storm cloud.

Eiffel Tower
Once again, avoiding the tourists with the 'up from underneath' angle.

Lean
I loved Pisa. Such a quiet city. The Leaning Tower is absolutely stunning in person.

Plane Over Big Ben
I thought this shot was interesting because I caught the plane in the sky. Again, 'up from underneath'

Brandenburg Gate, Berlin
I thought this was an interesting angle of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. I just wish I wouldn not have lost so much of the detail in the clouds.

Tower Bridge, London
Here the sun is setting over London. The golden light shining on the bridge and the battleship brings this shot to life.

Coliseum
It would have been great to have a wide-angle lens in Rome. I don't mind the people in this image because they give a sense of scale.

Backside of Coliseum
Just another angle of the Coliseum with less people.

Bronze Buddha
This is the worlds largest sitting bronze buddha. It is located on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It was a very wet and misty day which made for this hazy yet interesting photo. Unfortunately this is a low quality scan from a 35 mm print.

    Great Angles
    Darcie: Wow, I have yet to visit some of those places. I'll bet they're just amazing in person. I'm so jellous, Darcie.
