The Martello Tower!

The Martello tower is in Aldburgh in Suffolk and is quite interesting building, but can only be photographed with a wide angled lens, I have taken many piks over the years but they never worked till I used my Canon 10-22mm lens!
Still choked with flu so been playing with monochrome!

Portrait view, but I prefer the landscape version above

Excellent use of location to draw the viewer into the composition.

Fascinating building and a great sky too...terrific shot!
Guest 05-Jan-2008 12:16
Very dramatic and yep, I prefer the landscape version too - I guess the land on either side helps frame the tower?
