A mixed bag

I always thought "Nature & Architecture" was an intriguingly wide ranging for a forum title, so here are 3 quite different images ...

This was taken as more of a "glass" than "flower" shot:






"Toadstool"

This is a catch-all name for poisonous/inedible fungi, but something has had a good nibble at this one






Village pub

The Larachmhor Tavern in Pittenweem taken at in the early morning, before they were open for coffee

Your "toadstool" seems to be a Boletus species. Some in that genus are very good to eat ("cêpes"/"porcini"...).
Otoh, there are a few that are "not so good" or poisonous in that group as well.

Thanks Remco. I think it may be a Pine bolete. The general shape and location (you can see some pine needles in the image) would fit, but the condition of the cap makes it difficlut to be sure and does make it look somewhat in the "do not eat me" category even although if that is indeed what it is, it is edible.

Your bottle with the flower is stunning. Both the bottle and flower are well displayed, lit and well photographed.

I agree with Manfred

Thank you Manfred and Dan. Glad I rescued it from my recent catalog cull

I very much like the image the Larachmhor Taver. Full of interest

The first one posted in this thread was shot on a Saturday morning. Here are 2 others, one taken on the Friday morning and the other on the Saturday afternoon.

At the risk of sounding undiscriminating, I enjoyed all the photos in this thread -- including the three different pub shots.
