This shot was of one of the walls inside Rockefeller Center when travelling to the "Top of the Rock" observation stand in Manhattan, New York.
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), or Holocaust Memorial (Holocaust-Mahnmal), was designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold and was built between 2003 and 2004, and inaugurated in 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II. The monument occupies a 19,000 m2 area in which 2,711 concrete slabs (or "stelae") of varying heights are arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.
The memorial, which cost approximately €25 million, has been criticized both for its function/purpose and its vagueness, as the concrete blocks offer no detail or reference to the Holocaust, although an attached underground "Place of Information" holds the names of approximately 3 million Jewish Holocaust victims.
There are countless interpretations to the memorial. According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. I personally liked its abstract solemnness and at the same time the unexpected and almost playful way in which it invites and engages the public. An (unfortunate?) aspect of this has been the topic of Israeli artist Shahak Shapira’s project “Yolocaust”, in which cheerful photos young people (mostly!) posted on social media posing/jumping around/etc at the memorial were juxtaposed with archival pictures of Nazi death camps.
Still, by stirring such discussions and wide interpretations the monuments has, in my humble opinion, served its purpose and is in any case a beautiful installation in the very central borough of Berlin.

The Hive - Kew Gardens - a 17m high multi-sensory installation commissioned by the UK Government and created by artist Wolfgang Buttress, Simmonds Studio and BDP. It formed the centerpiece of the UK Pavillion at the 2015 Milan Expo.
The structure highlights the importance of pollinators to our future food security.
This is somewhat of a soft target, seen elsewhere in my stream, the glance of the pedestrian helps too I think.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

Robert Delaunay (1885 – 1941) was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract. His key influence related to bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.
