Ha ha - yes I am sure they were out together !!

These buildings are a good testament to older building methods though...

There's a lot to be said for structural flex.

I actually went out and took photos today. Granted it was immediately after work and only round the corner to the bottle shop, but I took photos. Will definitely get something in for this month..!

I've been out a couple of times this week. I've decided that I'm going to try & make the effort to take photos every month rather than use old ones; I've got a few ideas so I'm going out to shoot different stuff and then I'll pick my favourite to use for the competition

Just posted my entry. I managed to get photos of all the places I had in mind this week, and I really enjoyed going out with an actual idea in my head rather than just wandering aimlessy around. The hard part was picking my favourite... it’s like I’ve got to vote twice this month!

I actually have a couple of very different options for this one. Will post whatever I don’t choose in here

You know when you stare at something too long and you end up hating everything? Yeah that. Anyway, these were my rejects.

They're all really cool, @stickyfiddle - where were they taken?

These are the ones I rejected:

Cheers. Mine are all Abu Dhabi. First couple (and the one I entered) are a hotel out on the edge of the desert. The last 2 are where we live; the first one is the car park of our apartment building, and the second is the building over the road. 

I considered a trip to the Sheikh Zayed mosque which is fantastic for photography but I haven't had time to get over there on any days with decent weather. 

(not my photo...)

jeez o      These "rejects" are great as well.

Tough picking which one to go with this month.  These were the other two on my shortlist:

I really like the scaffolding one, @Jonathangus

Cheers - like I said, it was difficult to pick which one.  In the end, I went with one of our iconic local buildings.

I really like that one too. I’d happily have that framed on a white wall for impact.

***LAST DAY TO ENTER THIS MONTH'S COMP ***

Voting is now open in the competition thread

I'm late to vote this month but have been away for a week and it's not really fair to appraise pics on a mobile. I wanted to see them on the home desktop screen.

You fellas do make voting difficult! Every entry a potential top three place and narrowing it down is really tricky. I can honestly say I found each one a pleasure to view.

So my votes are cast but they could just as easily have been any of the other entries. Well done all!

PS And I also thought some of the rejects in this thread were worthy of the comp.
