Mesmerizing, Paul. Great theme, too. Does anyone else see a kind-of spooky petroglyph in #1, or am I just going stir-crazy?

CANON]Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects.
Arches with a circular form, also referred to as rounded arches, were commonly employed by the builders of ancient, heavy masonry arches.

During the early-to-mid-20th century, architectural photography became more creative as photographers used diagonal lines and bold shadows in their compositions, and experimented with other techniques. By the early 1950s, architects were hiring more photographers for commissioned work, resulting in architectural photography being viewed as more of an art form.
Fort Morgan
By the end of the 1860s, 42 forts covered the major harbors along the US coastline. The main defensive works were large structures, based on the Montalembert concept, with many guns concentrated in tall thick masonry walls, usually built on the sites of earlier forts.
Including both light and shadow in photos gives your subjects form, depth, and texture. Shadows add contrast and drama to otherwise dull photographs.

The harsh sunlight also works well whenever you’re shooting architecture and other geometrical structures. The sharp shadows the sun creates add dimension to these their framework which makes them look quite dramatic.
Fort Clinch
Black and white imagery is useful in accentuating the relationship between light and shadow.
Fort Gaines
Color can sometimes be distracting, especially when it comes to shadow photography. To make it effortless for your viewers to see the shadows, then just shoot in black and white.

Always observe how light and darkness interact each other in your frame. If you keep your eyes peeled, you might just capture something magical.

Really enjoyed these arches Paul. The only Fort I've had a chance to photograph is Ft. Point, under the Golden Gate on the SF side. I love your colors and textures of the bricks as well as your composition of arches within arches. Bev
