Love that lens on k10d. Great shot, it is like I was there. My eyes initially read the address and then were pulled toward the top of the building, great effect.

Really nice shot Pat. Nice perspective. Reminds me a bit of middle school art class and the teacher demonstrating single vanishing point perspective.

Cool perspective and very crisp shot. I like it!

16mm wide end rocks! Perfect composition, great colours (of course).

Wow! Where was this entry when architecture was the theme in the monthly challenge? Great shot!

What a view! This lens works well. Grandeus and great texture

Thanks all. It really is a fun lens and I walked buy the place once and then the second time I had to stop. here is another shot that I wish I could have worked out a little better. There is kind off a bigger entery way that I left out in the first shot but in this one you will see not only the higher walls on the left and right but also a buildings on the right that magically disappeared in the first shot.

. I wish the sun was not beaming down on the left wall as I liked this angle a little better then the first.

Pat, I think I like this one better. I especially like the bits of arcs on either side. This is one of those photos that would be great with a fisheye. As I grow older I'm starting to like wider angle shots.

I agree on the fisheye would be good here. I just wish the sun had not blown out the left side wall.
