I've no idea where or what, but I like the images. The compositions work very well and your expsoures look good too.

Tacoma Dome, Tacoma, WA??

At first, I thought you were referring to the bridge, but then I remembered the one time I've been in there, the entire thing was all wood inside...

Is the wood leaning to the right?

Nice shot, might want to level the horizon.

Yes, the horizion is tilted. So many of my shots are tilted I do not adjust them all.
I have been pondering the idea of completing my photos, with post editing, frames, and watermarks prior to posting.

The light bulb, over my head, is a little dim at times.

The bridge is Interstate 5, in Tacoma, WA.
That is the Tacoma Dome, The World's Largest Wooden Structure.

Ok, I think, I completed these photos.
I had fun collecting these photos. I learned and gained more experience.
Shall I still brown bag it?

The writing all over the photo's doesn't really enhance them any!?! Nice shots all the same. ;)

Beano: Thank you for the input. I did correct the image tilt. Then I added a frame and a title.

Nice shots, The titles might be smaller and lower corners. It distracts a bit from the subject.

Nice shots though

Nice shots of the Tacoma Dome. However, I grew up near Tillamook, Oregon which has, what I was always told, the World's largest wooden building. You may want to check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_largest_buildings

The Todaiji temple in Nara, Japan, holds the claim for largest wooden building in the world, though this is disputed (such as in China there are many ancient temples larger than this one. One example is Nanyue Temple in Henshan mountain, it's main building has an area more than 10000 square meters, but few people know this. And also the Xiantong Temple in Shanxi province, China. In Tibet, the Zhebang Temple has 250 thousand square meters and once more than 10 thousand monks at same time). The current building is 30% smaller than the former (otherwise identical) temple which was destroyed in a fire. Blimp Hangar 2, at the Tillamook Air Museum, in Tillamook, Oregon, is also thought by some to be the world's largest wooden stucture. The Guinness Book of World records lists Woolloomooloo Bay Wharf in Sydney as the largest wooden structure in the world.

I wonder if anyone REALLY knows what the largest wooden structure is. This quote reminded me that years ago, when I was in the Marines and stationed in Tustin, Ca., that the rumor was its two hangars (both former blimp hangars) were the largest wooden structures. Oh, by the way nice photos although I agree the captioning needs to be smaller.
