London architecture dominates this top 10 for 2012. I travel a good deal, enormously enjoying the local landscapes and architecture, however London remains my top photographic location. The reason for this could well be down to familiarity, but London alone can fuel a photographer for a life time of great images.
Personally 2012 has seen me move camera system to Leica, more significantly, a principal move toward street photography and the world of black and white.
10. Tate Modern
Not an outstanding image in itself, its significance lies in the move from pure architecture to images oriented toward people and their environments.

9. River Arno View
Taken in Florence, after sun rise.

8. Clock Tower
7. Dark Side Of Finance
6. Dreams Of Flight
Tied for 4. City Hall
3. British Museum
2. Escher
1. Tulip Staircase
Honourable Mention
A composition should be indifferent to the camera used for the capture. Camera phones are getting so much more capable, so I was pleased to trial Nokia’s 808 Pureview this summer. Honourable mention goes to this shot of Leigh on Sea, in Essex.

great architecture gallery!
A very strong set of images – very graphic. I’m a fan of Escher, so I especially like #2.
Love this set! Every image is so striking I could stare at them for hours.

What a fabulous collection. Thanks for submitting this to Jim Goldstein’s list!
Just coming over from Jim’s list and slowly working my way through
Some wonderful Architectural images Michael. I came across Escher in a tutorial you had written (can’t remember where now) and was stunned. Wonderful work.
