“The Urban Landscape” Photo Contest

FinishedSkyscrapers and other buildings of steel, concrete and glass dominate the landscape of today’s cities. They are monuments to the skills and talents of the architects of the modern world. The landscape of a city is about the vertical view and about looking above toward the sky. This particular call for entry deals with tall buildings and the view from above and also below. TBM is seeking your best interpretations of the metropolitan scenery. Both color and black and white images will be accepted.
