12-16c Church of St.Michael the Archangel, Halam, Nottinghamshire - www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3z1vtc At the time of the Norman conquest Halam belonged to the Archbishop of York's estate of Southwell which had been granted by King Eadwig in 956. Later Halam together with other nearby churches belonged to Southwell Minster with the status of a chapel of ease, its priests living at Southwell until the vicarage was built in 1908.
The first burial in the churchyard was James May in November 1582 after a petition for licence to bury their dead here "as in consequence of the distance to Southwell and the dangers of the roads, especially in Winter, they cannot without great difficulty take the bodies thither"
All restored 1884-9 by Ewan Christian, who described the building as "miserable and damp" with rebuilt south aisle and north porch.

Love Park in Philadelphia. This is the Robert Indiana sculpture in John F. Kennedy Plaza which was first installed in 1976. I took this a few weeks ago while visiting Phillly when I spent one evening on a blue hour shoot around the downtown.

There’s landscape – and then there’s architecture.
When the two come together as strikingly as they do in the chapel by Staab Architekten in Kesselostheim (Bavarian Swabia!), I can’t help but feel the urge to capture it in an image.
Clouds. Vastness. Contrast.
A perfect setting for a black and white interpretation – minimal, crisp, atmospheric. And the best part: despite it being a late Sunday afternoon, I had the whole site to myself. A rare luxury. It gave me the chance to explore the chapel at my own pace and find my personal composition.
It reminded me once again just how much joy black and white photography brings me these days – especially because it doesn’t require shooting in the middle of the night during blue hour. Sometimes, it's enough to just head out in the afternoon, observe, feel, and create.
Oh, and by the way – this was my third chapel out of seven so far. Let’s see what’s still to come...
One of my development ideas, aiming towards a final piece in my Photography A Level.

One Angel Square
One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.
