We realized the the day was slowly drawing to a close as we drifted over the Thames toward St. Paul's. A brief chat on how to cap off the day's tour, and it was decided that we should head over to London's newer architectural enclave, Canary Wharf. Glass and steel awaited in abundance.
Shortly after taking this photo, we were approached by police, who politely advised us not to use our cameras in the area. There were many officers patrolling the area.

John Wastell, the last and perhaps most brilliant master mason who worked on King's, took charge in 1508. He is the architect of the beautiful fan vaulting – 'the noblest stone ceiling in existence' – which was built in just three years between 1512 and 1515.

British Colonial Style Architecture of this Bungalow in Bengaluru reflects about the past history of this city.
The Bungalow type, which developed in India and later spread to Australia and Africa, was derived from the detached rural Bengal house placed in a compound and the British suburban villa. The elementary plan of the bungalow was the porch, the verandah, the drawing and dining rooms with bedrooms on the sides and the service annexes in the rear yard.

Boringdon Arch (Triumphal Arch), Plymouth, taken from the grounds of Boringdon Park Golf Club, Plympton, Devon, GBR.
Built in 1783 as an “eye-catcher” for the Parker family of Saltram House, Boringdon Arch is a fine example of Georgian landscape design. Attributed in part to Robert Adam, it was commissioned by John Parker to enhance the estate and remains one of the area’s most distinctive follies. Constructed in red brick with stone dressings, the arch rises to around 12 metres, with a tall round-headed opening framed by paired pilasters, a Doric entablature, and a moulded parapet crowned by a central niche.
Designated as a Grade II* listed building in 1975 (List Entry Number: 1386330), the arch has suffered from exposure and decay and now appears on the Heritage at Risk Register. Standing near Boringdon Park, it endures as a photogenic landmark, a reminder of the Parker family’s ambition and of the enduring influence of Adam’s neoclassical style.
