Sorry for getting a late start today, dear photogs.

There was an island wide power outage here in Barbados and with all the ensuing chaos (not really chaos ;)) I couldn't get to it. The price we pay for paradise, right??

But here we are!

This week we have @pfunk as the guest judge, with his choice of theme!

The judge will get 50SBD for time and effort, and many thanks!

Without further ado...

This week's Steemit Photo Challenge will be:

Architecture

Examples of great photography in this 'genre' here: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/architecture-photography-beauty-of-interior-and-exterior-designs/
Interior or Exterior, Colour or Black & White.
Have fun!

Consider hosting your images with Steemimg created by @blueorgy

It is the first dedicated Steemit Image hosting website, set up with tag categories for easy viewing of images, and is also a sponsor of the Steemit Photo Challenge. It's also really convenient for copying markdown for multiple images. I suggest uploading to an account rather than as a guest, to keep your images tied to your name.
