London Heathrow, T5 — I love buildings like this, and we spent ages looking at the construction details.

Portal to another dimension – Frederic C. Hamilton Building. Denver, Colorado.

Skylight – Seen at Denver Art Museum, Frederic C. Hamilton Building. 2 pictures

Contrasting Spaces #1 – Denver Art Museum.

Silica, Weston super Mare – A couple more views of Silica, Weston-super-Mare’s giant sperm mouldy carrot statement public art piece. I’m all in favor of public art and unusual, even challenging architecture/art. This doesn’t do it for me. 2 pictures

Hotel Eastlund, Portland Oregon. Corridor seemingly stretching to infinity. Black and White Photograph.

Infinity – Clever painting and carpet coordination. The areas outside the rooms were painted black and the carpet was also black, creating these visual stripes and making the corridor look like it went on forever.

Floor 4 – Tate Modern.

Two-fifty – Spotted during my wanderings around London.

Stairwell – The Excellent lighting comes from a single roof-light. Very sixties construction, though I think it may have been built a lot later.

Shell (Colour) – Shell service station, Goldsmith Avenue, Portsmouth.

KFC at the Pompey Centre, Portsmouth

Stairwell – Oceanographic Institute.

All that remains — This one bit of the old Tricorn Centre remains. It’s not a good angle. It was blowing a gale, raining and I was trying to keep the camera dry. I added some clouds in post-production because the original sky was blown out from having to expose the picture for the dark concrete.

Bench — The seat is in the shape of a quill pen. Commercial Road Precinct. Portsmouth.
