Killarney Camera Club’s recent architecture competition was so keenly contested, it finished in a tie.

Anne Kelly and Mary O’Sullivan shared the top spot.

Anne’s photo of the Battersea Power Station, which is now, primarily, a shopping centre, was taken on a trip to London in September last year.

Anne told us that she did a recce in the morning and found a good spot between the trees on the opposite bank of the Thames.

“I could get a nice view of the building by wedging my camera between a gap in the railings, but there was a very ugly barge parked right in front! I went back again before sunset to find the barge was gone, so I was able to get quite a few shots as the sun went down. I especially liked the juxtaposition of the solid shape and traditional brickwork of the power station and the almost futuristic buildings on either side,” she said.

Mary’s photo of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía Opera house was taken while on a visit to Valencia, a city renowned for its modern architecture.
