This is a celebration of the thousands of times I have craned my neck to take a photograph, sometimes on my knees or sitting on the damp ground at the same moment. But there is always a commanding building or dazzling ceiling as a reward, and the chance to capture it for posterity.
Enjoy this small selection and remember a stiff neck or a pair of dirty knees is always worth it…

These images are really top class :)
You have captured these incredible architecture with brilliant composition and fresh perspectives.
Thank you very much :)
Most definitely worth the scuffed jeans and future arthritis, Mike! A great collection of images! :D
Thanks Richard. Oh, I think it’s taking hold already. Me knees, me kneeeeees!
Numbers 10 is my fav!
The minaret? I thought the seventh shot would be more to your style, Malin :)
Haha… I mean “10 Hammersmith Grove Complex, London”. So you guessed it right, I just saw “10” and… well.
Oh! I get it now :) So I was on the money after all.
Definitely, Mike!!
Great series, Mike! Love the mixture of old and new architecture.
Thanks Koos. All testament to the uncomfortable situations I put my body in :)
Fortunately you have such an agile body!
Oh I wish! I’m elderly with a bad back and dodgy bones. But I keep doing it :)
Elderly?!? You’re fresh, green, young!
Ugh. I don’t feel that way today…
