AFTER celebrating people power last week we thought it only fitting to make this week’s challenge about capturing impressive ‘architecture’.

Unsurprisingly, many members chose to focus on the spectacular buildings to be found in Oxford.

One of our favourite entries was the Bridge of Sighs taken by Joy Rawlins.

Shot from the opposite side to the one usually favoured by tourists, it gave a new perspective on a familiar spot.

We also loved a pair of very different photographs of the Radcliffe Camera.

The first, by Bob Weatherhead, captures a detailed reflection of the building in a puddle off Brasenose Lane. Confining the mammoth structure to the ground,

Llewellyn Robinson, by contrast, has taken in the full scope of the historic structure with a panoramic view from St Mary's Church.

A more modern addition to Oxford is the Blatavik Government Building in Walton Street, which Matt Hancock has shot lit up at night.

Another submission showing how much the city has changed in recent years, is Bryan Robertson's image which combines two shots of how Oxford's canalside buildings have changed with Lucy's Ironworks captured in 2002 now replaced with modern flats.

Further afield there were some stunning submissions of major urban hubs, particular favourites included the escalator in a new subway station at 72nd Street and 2nd Avenue in New York by Neil Simmons and a intriguing building on Lower Thames Street, London, shot from below by Benjamin Waller.

Both use a lower vantage point to create interesting images of common sights.

There was architecture within architecture, meanwhile, in Kim Benson's snap of a window in Christ Church's Peckwater Quad which reflects the library opposite.

Another stand out was Balcombe viaduct in West Sussex by Trish Davies which draws the eye to the repeating arches and looks neverending.

Next week’s theme (and what else could it be really?) is ‘Christmas’.
