[Esta foto fue tomada durante mi viaje a Nueva York en agosto del 2008, hace casi tres años, cuando empezaba con la fotografía. La cámara que usaba por aquel entonces era una Fujifilm FinePix A400, lo más básico que te puedes encontrar en el mercado, con 4,1 MP, sin apenas zoom óptico y desde luego, sin ninguna opción manual. Hoy me he puesto a rememorar aquel viaje y al ver esta foto, acto seguido me ha venido a la cabeza la idea del procesado que véis en la imagen. No es gran cosa, pero al menos estoy segura de que mejora la imagen original.]

365 Project - Day 202
I thought shooting up skyscrapers gets old but once again I am surprised by the results once I found the right spot. This is the FBC building, one of the more bland if not brutal high-rises around here. According to wikipedia it is build in the Manhattan style which apparently means loads of concrete and not that many glass and steel surfaces. Apparently a great choice for Clifford Chance.

Built in 1938 by architects Samuel Lipson (1901-1996) and Peter Kaad, the Hastings Deering building (now housing a Woolwoths supermarket) represented the latest trends in European ‘International Style’ of architecture. The building was a new corporate headquarters for Hastings Deering Ltd., a name synonymous with the motor industry and Ford vehicle sales and service for over 60 years. The building featured spacious car showrooms, fully-equipped workshops and office space. Occupying an island site between Crown and Riley streets, Sydney, it cost approximately 125,000 pounds to build.
“With no attempt at grandiose, this building may be regarded as an excellent example of modern commercial architecture. Straight forward, efficient – functional, if you like – it is admirably suited for the purpose … it undoubtedly adds an important new architectural contribution to the city of Sydney.” Building, 26 April 1938
Streamlined and modern, the building pioneered a number of design and structural innovations in Sydney at the time. The elevations were simple horizontal bands of walls and steel framed glazing, and the rounded columns were set back from the external walls, so as to emphasise the sleek curved lines.
A revolutionary system of banked spiral car ramps for cars to enter the building and move efficiently between floors, made the best use of limited space on the site. Large flat floor slabs on each level and coffered ceilings were supported by mushroom-headed column construction.

British Columbia Parliament Buildings
Victoria, BC, CANADA
Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia,CANADA located in Vancouver Island. The city is much smaller than Vancouver, but it's such a beautiful city and there are many old beautiful buildings worth seeing. Specially British Columbia Parliament Buildings and the Empress Hotel are famous and they are really wonderful buildings. I think I have to visit Victoria again to take more photos and to know about the city.
Taken on a photowalk with my friend Darren.
Little Baddow Hall in the village of Little Baddow, Essex! This beautiful timber-framed hall/manor house, dates back to at least the 14th-15th century, and stands directly opposite the parish church. There is a PYO fruit farm just up the lane behing the hall, and the Victoria Plums looked amazing when we walked past today!
The parish church of St Anthony was built in 1150 and dedicated to St Antoninus King and Martyr. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building and is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church was established by the prior of the Augustinian Priory at Plympton in Devon. The site of the former priory is now the site of the house of the Spry family, Place, which was built in 1840 in front of the church. After the dissolution of 1538 part of the priory was used as a residence and parts were pulled down: much of the stone went towards the building of St Mawes Castle. The church still has its original mediaeval cruciform plan, more or less as it was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, despite having been extensively restored in the 19th century. The restoration was commissioned by Samuel Thomas Spry, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bodmin between 1832 and 1841, who employed his cousin, the Revd Clement Carlyon to rebuild the chancel, and install the wooden roofs, floor tiles and stained glass. The church contains monuments to members of the Spry family. The tower is above the crossing and has a spire of timber and lead; there are many memorials of the Spry family including Sir Richard Spry. The church is now one of three in the care of the priest-in-charge of Gerrans and Philleigh.

In fact I needed a shift tilt lense to get a good shot, unfortunately I don't have such a lense. Applied some correction via Photoshop CS3.

This was a gift for my mother on her birthday. It's a microscale model of my parents' house in the south of Sweden. The real house was drawn and built by my father.
This is my first attempt at building a house that exists in real life.
The Helmsley Building at 230 Park Avenue is now lit every night with an energy efficient, color changing, computer-controlled LED light system. The new lighting system is highly programmable. The LED lights are on the entire northern face and the crown of the building. In an effort to reinvent the building, the lighting exterior can, and will, go from tame to wild depending on the season.
The new lighting makes the building stand out and visible from 40 blocks away. It also sends an important message that if older, historic and iconic buildings can take drastic measures to become environmentally friendly, there's no reason why every other building can't do the same.
In 2010, after a more than $100 million renovation, 230 Park became the first pre-war office building in New York to earn Gold Leed status, an internationally recognized designation for being an environmentally friendly building.
Some of our neighbours make such an effort at Christmas.
By the way, this is the usual English pathetic attempt at snow. It's enough to make the country grind to a halt though...

I can't decide between the two images which is the better one this one or version 1 so I'll let you decide and I'll delete the one with the less likes. You may hate both which is equally fine as I'm very unsure myself.
The Fuller Building or as it is better known, the Flatiron Building, is located in the borough of Manhattan, and was one of the tallest buildings in New York City upon its completion in 1902. The building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham with John Wellborn Root in the Beaux-Arts style on a triangular island block at 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, facing Madison Square.
Like a classical Greek column, its limestone and glazed terra-cotta façade is separated into three parts horizontally. Since it was one of the first buildings to use a steel skeleton, the building could be constructed to 285 feet, which would have been very difficult with other construction methods of that time.
The initial design by Daniel Burnham shows a similar design to the one constructed, but with a far more elaborate crown with numerous set backs near the pinnacle. A clock face can also be seen. However, under the advice of John Wellborn Root, this was removed from the design.
When completed, it was officially named the Fuller Building after the building's promoter George Fuller. Locals took an immediate interest in the building, placing bets on how far the debris would spread when the wind knocked it down and nicknaming it "the Flatiron" because of the building's resemblance to the irons of the day. The building is also said to have helped coin the phrase "23 skidoo" or scram, from what cops would shout at men who tried to get glimpses of women's dresses being blown up by the winds created by the triangular building. At the rounded tip, the triangular tower is only 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide. The 22-story Flatiron Building, with a height of 285 ft (87 meters), is often considered the oldest surviving skyscraper in Manhattan, though in fact the Park Row Building (1899) is both older and taller.
Today the Flatiron is a popular spot for tourist photographs, a National Historic Landmark, and a functioning office building, currently home to several book publishers, most of them under the umbrella of Holtzbrinck Publishers. The surrounding area of Manhattan is named the Flatiron District for its signature building.
The signature edge of the Flatiron Building was covered in black scaffolding from December 2005 to March 2006 for renovations. Sidewalk-level scaffolding remains.
The Ferry Building is one of the most imposing port buildings in New Zealand, and testimony to the importance of water transport in early twentieth-century Auckland.<
Erected by the Auckland Harbour Board in 1909-1912, this ornate structure was intended to be a focus for the extensive ferry network entering and leaving the city. Now registered with the Historic Places Trust, it provides a powerful reminder of the importance of ferry transport in the early twentieth century, and the role played by the wharves in the social and commercial life of Auckland.
The Auckland Ferry Building is now home to a number of cafés and restaurants.
