I was making the best of the sunshine in Glasgow - there were lots of deep black shadows and every building in the financial district glowed with amazing reflections. Hopefully I managed to get some of that vibe in. Was also delighted it was accepted into the LFI online gallery Architecture / Cityscape

“Now, after the Federal Reserve quietly admitted gold is replacing the U.S. dollar, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a ‘striking’ decline in the U.S. dollar’s share of allocated foreign reserves of central banks and governments.”
“At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.”

Walter Schrempf's blueprint of the building was the winner of an architecture competition in the year 1963. Then, he invited Otto Herbert Hajek to reshape his draft artificially to overcome the comtemporary paradigmatic sobriety of the 1960's. The realisation of the building started in 1966, after Hajek had presented his version to the commission of the university.
The result of the architect’s and sculptor’s collaboration is a functional modern architecture, which opens up to the technical age and uses new materials, and is also a space sculpture at the same time. Naked concrete contrasts with a vivid coloration through yellow, red and blue surfaces. Geometric elements, which are arranged like a box, determine the spatial effect. The interior is divided by plastic concrete elements in various large levels and units.
The building has been built as a "Student House" in which all services for the students are included: dining hall, administration for the students services like financial support, recreational facility, theatre hall, café, event room. All these functions are still existing today.
The building is a historical monument.

Cuando el edificio mas alto del centro financiero apunta a Venus, las luces se reflejan sobre el rio Meno y el cielo torna con colores purpuras de la hora azul, solo puede describirse como pura magia
When the tallest building in the financial center points to Venus, the lights reflect off the River Main and the sky turns the purple colors of the blue hour, it can only be described as pure magic.
The architectural masterpiece that of course is the well photographed Lloyds Insurance building flanked by other buildings which in part make up the financial district in London.
i guess i like street shots for the fact that you dont necessarily need any central point of focus. u just capture the scene as is and get the over all mood of the shot.
i had to clone a person out of this shot, and i suck a cloning but i did my best !
The Battle of Grunwald, First Battle of Tannenberg or Battle of Žalgiris, was fought on 15 July 1410 during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War. The alliance of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, led respectively by King Władysław II Jagiełło (Jogaila) and Grand Duke Vytautas (Witold; Vitaŭt), decisively defeated the German–Prussian Teutonic Knights, led by Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen. Most of the Teutonic Knights' leadership were killed or taken prisoner. Although defeated, the Teutonic Knights withstood the siege of their fortress in Marienburg (Malbork) and suffered minimal territorial losses at the Peace of Thorn (1411) (Toruń), with other territorial disputes continuing until the Peace of Melno in 1422. The knights, however, would never recover their former power, and the financial burden of war reparations caused internal conflicts and an economic downturn in the lands under their control. The battle shifted the balance of power in Eastern Europe and marked the rise of the Polish–Lithuanian union as the dominant political and military force in the region.
