The impressive Broadcasting House, just up from Oxford Circus in Central London, is the headquarters of the BBC. This is a panoramic shot, made from 5 stitched together in Lightroom, which was then cleaned up in PhotoShop, and was shot when it was quiet, at 0130 this morning.
The piazza with the lights and place names embedded in it was designed by Canadian artist and architect Mark Pimlott.
On the 5th December I'm uploading a video of some of my best photos to my channel, Sights and Scenes, looking forward to seeing you there.

The thing with those viewing platforms in TV towers is that you have a great view but there is no mean to represent it. The simplest obstacle is the window with its reflections. The more complex is the 360 degree panorama that doesn't translate well to representation.
My first zine with 20 photos from South Korea is out now: 20 Days in South Korea. You can order it HERE or mail me if you are interested in a signed copy directly from me.
A rare inside shot from my offices in central London.
This us from the ground floor level overlooking the rather sizeable newsroom, apparently the largest in Europe.
I have plans to retake this shot from the basement level with my widest-angle lens in order to better encapsulate the scale of the room, but this is my pocket camera version for now.
The Santa Monica Pier is a large double-jointed pier at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California, United States. It contains a small amusement park, concession stands, and areas for views and fishing.[2][3]
History
Santa Monica has had several piers; however, the current Santa Monica Pier is made up of two adjoining piers that long had separate owners. The long, narrow Municipal Pier opened September 9, 1909,[6] primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers[7] and had no amenities. The short, wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south, also known as Newcomb Pier, was built in 1916 by Charles I. D. Looff and his son Arthur, amusement park pioneers.[8] Attractions on the Pleasure Pier eventually included the Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building (which now houses the current carousel and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Blue Streak Racer wooden roller coaster (which was purchased from the defunct Wonderland amusement park in San Diego), the Whip, merry-go-rounds, Wurlitzer organs, and a funhouse.
The Philadelphia Toboggan Company built the Carousel, PTC #62, in 1922. It features 44 hand-carved horses. It was rebuilt in 1990 inside the Hippodrome. A calliope provides musical accompaniment.
The La Monica Ballroom opened on July 23, 1924. Designed by T. S. Eslick with a Spanish façade and French Renaissance interior, it was the largest dance hall on the west coast, accommodating 5,000 dancers on its 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) hard maple floor. Country music star Spade Cooley began broadcasting his weekly television show from the ballroom in 1948, where the program remained until 1954. In the summer of 1955, the Hollywood Autocade opened at the La Monica with one-hundred famous and unusual cars, including Jack Benny's Maxwell and a Rumpler Drop Car.[9] From 1958 until 1962, the ballroom served as a roller skating rink; first as Skater's Ballroom, and later as the Santa Monica Roller Rink, where the speed skating club won many state and regional championships.[citation needed] The La Monica Ballroom was demolished in 1963.
The Pleasure Pier thrived during the 1920s but faded during the Great Depression. During the 1930s, most of the amusement park facilities were closed down and its attractions sold off.[10] A breakwater was built in 1934 that provided docking for up to 100 fishing and pleasure boats near the pier.[11]
The bridge and entry gate to Santa Monica Pier were built in 1938 by the federal Works Project Administration, and replaced the former grade connection.
The Newcomb Pier was privately owned until it was acquired by the city in 1974.[12][13] During the 1960s and 1970s, various plans were proposed that would entail removal of the pier. The most extensive included the construction of an artificial island with a 1,500-room hotel. It was approved by the City Council, but citizens formed "Save Santa Monica Bay" to preserve the pier.[14] The order to raze the pier was revoked by the city council in 1973. Within that same year, the Carousel and Hippodrome were locations for the film The Sting.
Storms swept away the protective breakwater in 1982.[11] During storms in early 1983, the pier experienced a significant loss. On January 27, there were reported swells of 10-feet during this winter storm.[citation needed] When the storm was over, the lower deck of the pier was destroyed.[15] The City of Santa Monica began repairs on March 1, 1983, when another storm rolled in. A crane which was being used to repair the west end was dragged into the water and acted as a battering ram against the pilings. Over one-third of the Pier was destroyed.[11]
On June 18, 2009, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment issued a safe eating advisory for any fish caught from Santa Monica Pier to Ventura Harbor due to elevated levels of mercury and PCBs.[16]
Many times I have passed Butser Hill on the A3 London to Portsmouth road and wanted to investigate what is at the top. Now done, and it's this broadcast tower that reaches the Hampshire / West Sussex border.
On the background is the MICA Building Singapore, I missed doing this. =)

On 5 June 1959, the Ministry of Culture came to being with the swearing-in and appointments of Ministers for the new Singapore Government. In 1 February 1980, the Broadcasting Division of the Ministry of Culture became a statutory board, the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation.
1985 saw the dissolution of the Ministry of Culture. Its Information Division came under the new Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI). Its arts promotion component was assimilated into the Ministry of Community Development (MCD) as the Cultural Affairs Division.
Five years later, on the 28 November 1990, the Information Division of the MCI and the Cultural Affairs Division of MCD, together with other associated departments and statutory boards, reunited to form the Ministry of Information and the Arts (MITA).
On 1 September 1991, the Festival of Arts Secretariat, Singapore Cultural Foundation, Arts Division of MITA, and the National Theatre Trust merged to form the National Arts Council (NAC).
On 1 October 1994, the Singapore Broadcasting Authority (SBA) was formed as a statutory under MITA to oversee and promote the broadcasting industry in Singapore.
On 23 November 2001, the Infocomm technology (ICT) function (under then-Ministry of Communications and Information Technology) came under MITA. The expanded Ministry was renamed the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts, but retained the acronym MITA. In that year, Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) became one of MITA's statutory boards.
On January 1, 2003, Singapore Broadcasting Authority, Singapore Films Commission and Films and Publications Department (previously under MITA HQ) merged to form Media Development Authority (MDA).
On August 13, 2004, the Ministry's acronym is changed from "MITA" to "MICA".

I know that in china, people on social media who are broadcasting their life 24/7 trying to be famous are more an more presents around us, but this guy was the first one I met. It is impressive... I have no idea about what the guy was talking about but he is definitely well equipped!
This is China~~
For many years small local AM radio stations were the primary source of news, information and entertainment for the community. Most operated from sunrise to sunset. Many of these stations have signed off for the final time as their listeners are using more modern forms of communications and rarely listen to local radio broadcasts. As a result of low listenership, those stations cannot attract enough advertisers to pay the bills. Somehow, WEPG-AM in South Pittsburg, Tennessee is still hanging on, but it may not be too many more sunsets before the signoff announcements are made, the national anthem is played, and the transmitter is shut down for the final time.
I was looking to re-shoot one of the first night shots I took when I got my SLR.[http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewtijou/5396568918]A couple of years down the line and the building divides have been taken down.
Well now - that's more like it! My favourite little pond has finally woken up. One week later and there were countless Large Reds, Blue-tails, a Downy Emerald and 7 male Broad-bodied Chasers battling for territory. Things got even more exciting with the presence of females, 3 in total. engaged in mating and immediately ovipositing.
However it was the arrival of this sweet lady who caught my attention. Nicely, and all to briefly, perched on a gorse bush after flying in from who knows where. Only had chance to use the long lens, but I think it did rather well.
After a brief visit there just after lunch time, I picked up Sue from work and took her for a little picnic at the pond. OK, so I had another motive, but she enjoyed the chance to marvel at the best display the New Forest has shown so far this year.
Certainly beats going home....

This little drop of water (1mm diameter) is on the tip of a .5 cm moss sprout.
Supermacro reversed 50mm technique employed here. Very small. Very shallow depth of field results in the large blurry moss seeds in the background. In reality, they are just a few mm away. Microworld!
