Once again we are at Lake Shuswap where we are frequently privy to some amazing sunsets. I have an "old haunt" picked out that gives me direct access to the far mountains, and the setting sun during summer. Again, mother nature delivered her finest and I captured a few images.
The next night we shared the sunset and enjoyed a late dinner on the beach. The sky can be as entertaining as any tv show, as scenes change with each passing moment. Every night channel NBS delivered award winning entertainment that we enjoyed from the comfort of our chairs.
The N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워), officially the YTN Seoul Tower, is a communication and observation tower located on the summit of Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. Completed in 1971, it was initially a critical broadcasting facility used for radio and television transmission by major Korean media networks, including KBS, MBC, and SBS. It was subsequently opened to the public in 1980, quickly becoming a primary tourist attraction and a central city landmark.
Standing 236.7 meters tall from its base (and 479.7 meters above sea level), the tower provides sweeping, 360-degree panoramic views of the capital, making it a prominent feature of the Seoul skyline. The complex includes several observation decks, gift shops, and dining facilities, such as a revolving restaurant. A popular cultural element of the site is the "locks of love" tradition, where visitors attach padlocks to the perimeter fences as a symbol of affection.
The tower's exterior features an advanced LED lighting system that illuminates the structure at night; the colors sometimes communicate air quality information or mark special events. Visitors can reach the tower by hiking, using a public shuttle bus, or taking the scenic Namsan Cable Car.
This broadcasting mast extends into the Chicago skyline from One Prudential Plaza, while the distinctive angled architecture of Two Prudential Plaza casts its presence in the background. One Prudential Plaza, a 41-story skyscraper completed in 1955, was significant as the first new downtown skyscraper in Chicago in 21 years and served as the headquarters for Prudential's Mid-America company. Its mast was once used as a broadcasting antenna for Chicago's WGN-TV. Two Prudential Plaza, completed in 1990, stands out with its stacked chevron setbacks and a pyramidal peak rotated 45 degrees, crowned with an 80-foot spire.

Ravensbourne University Building, London, England
Another Open House London has come and gone last week, didn't seem that long ago I was down in the capital doing the same things last year.
My apologies for not getting my Open House photos uploaded sooner as I know some of you have been keen to see them but I have been so busy since coming back from Open House I haven't had chance to edit the photos until recently.
This is looking out from one of the portals within the Ravensbourne University building next to the O2, is the building with circles all over it, you can't miss it!
For the first time ever, the whole Open House London experience was a little disappointing. Don't get me wrong, some tours were excellent like this one at Ravensbourne where you got to know the finest detail of every part of the building but other places I visited were such a let down. For example Lloyds Register building. My girlfriend and I queued first thing to get in but still was around 30 mins and I was looking forward to seeing the modern part of the building. We were allowed in on opening time then to be ushered through a small art gallery and then to the older part of the building, there was no chance of seeing or photographing the Richard Rogers part of the building. Other places got cancelled at last minute, upon arriving at one venue for roof top tours we found a small sign to say that they had been cancelled!
Luck wasn't on my side with regard to pre book events this year so I wanted to really try hard at places that didn't need pre booking but another disappointment was to happen. We went to Somerset house to go on a tour of the building and no where in the guide said you had to pre book the tour. Upon arriving we were told the tour was fully booked, that word booked!! How is it fully booked when it was a first come first served basis? It seemed they were advertising the fact they were doing the your and normal visitors to Somerset House could go on it too as well as Open House visitors which I didn't think was right. We did manage to get on another tour which was the film tour, not my first choice by any means but was very enjoyable.
Sadly this year I have heard similar stories from other Open House visitors and photographers, don't get me wrong I still got a few good photos but felt that some of the tours were not as good as other years that I have been on.

I thought that I imagined the state that a picture of TV flew here steadily such from far away that I would be glad if I was TV.
On December 1, 2012 in Civic Center, Bunkyo ward .
The new building on the site of the old Egton House. It's not as big as I thought it was going to be... I thought it was supposed to be a big, full-size mirror of the old building.
After the visit to the cat cafe we decided to make our way to Battersea, walking back a slightly different route to Oxford Circus to catch the Tube. I was surprised to pass these London landmarks.
This shows the exterior of Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London.
A new East wing, built in the same Portland stone as the original Broadcasting House, balances the existing construction. The two buildings are linked by a glass-fronted extension, allowing visitors and passers-by to witness the BBC's daily activities. The glass was specially treated to create varied lighting effects throughout the day.
An integrated lighting scheme for the site also embraces the neighbouring All Souls' Church. The Broadcasting House complex surrounds a new central 'piazza' space, a new public destination in central London, with facilities including a cafe and performance area. (From BBC.com)
The main building was refurbished, and an extension built to the rear. The radio stations BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service transferred to refurbished studios within the building. The extension links the old building with the John Peel Wing, and includes a new combined newsroom for BBC News, with studios for the BBC News channel, BBC World News and other news programming. The move of news operations from BBC Television Centre was completed in March 2013. The official name of the building is "Broadcasting House" but the BBC, until 2024, used the term "new Broadcasting House" (with a lowercase 'n') in its publicity referring to the new extension rather than the whole building, with the original building known as "old Broadcasting House". (From Wikipedia)
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast from the building was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May. The main building is in Art Deco style, with a facing of Portland stone over a steel frame. It is a Grade II* listed building and includes the BBC Radio Theatre, where music and speech programmes are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The head of BBC history, Robert Seatter, has said George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), "reputedly based his notorious Room 101 from the novel "on a room he had worked in whilst at the BBC."
In 1985 it was revealed by The Observer that MI5 had had a special office in the building from 1937 for the purpose of vetting BBC employees for national security purposes.

According to Wikipedia, there are no fewer than 40 radio studios and 17 television studios inside. All your favourite BBC radio programs and news channels are recorded here by the looks of it.

I tried the photography that combined a magnifying glass with #extrabokeh on that day. My camera bag becomes bigger.
By the way, the pictures with the magnifying glass, I named it #glassporthole.

Took a run over to Leeds today for an event on the opening of a building, across the road is a building that I did the concept and scheme design for before moving onto another project. This is an part shot of the teaching space for Leeds Met University which is in the process of being clad.
This shows some of the newer Cor-Ten panels which have yet to weather in in contrast to some of those that have already weathered in and got their rusty colour.
This is a little wide shot of the recently revamped atrium at New Broadcasting House. Looks kinda trippy when viewed from across the way with all the reflections ...
Home of the BBC, Portland Place, London. Built from portland stone and opened in 1932, but much rennovated since.
