Looks like it should be the HQ of the secret service or perhaps some bureaucratic ministry in 1984.... but it is in fact a University, seat of knowledge and learning.
Taken on a trip to London, a while ago now so I can't remember what film i used (didn't record it) but shot on Yashica 24.
Oh, and I cheated by heavily treating it in Silver Efex Pro - digital and film combined, yay!

Hey There! Its been a while... A brief historical background
In 2017 I Graduated from School and entered Russian University of Transport to study metro trains. In my first year jf study I posted some photos here and decided to build a unique moc, that will collect my knowledge and skills in lego and trains (Spoiler: it is an upgraded version of metro train 81-717 "Nomernoy", that I have built earlier. But because of studying I didn’t have enough time and desire to finish the project. All this time I was studying information in various spheres to become a great engineer!
In 2022 I Graduated from university and got a job in “METROWAGONMASH”, a manufacturer of all metro trains in Russia (my dream came true!). There I returned to idea to create a lego metro train? That will fit my increased requirements. But I found out that all my files were gone, there were only several photos of Work In Progress… Also I was very busy at work, so didn’t have time to restore my progress.
In 2023 I got a job in “Metrowagonmash-Service”, a company that maintains all modern Moscow metro trains. Later I met colleagues with similar interests and decided to reenter this hobby with my new moc. 81-717 "Nomernoy", that I didn’t finish in 2018 didn’t fit my demands, so I choose the most modern Russian subway train 81-775.2 “Moskva-2024”. With this model I wanted to share my knowledge and experience in combining Lego with various technologies to achieve impressive results!
Some words about the project: Lego metro train "Moskva -2024"
Project objectives: get from development to implementation of a working prototype, get to know technological processes related to the design and production of rolling stock. The goal of the project was to create a model at the intersection of areas of knowledge: a computer model was created and visualized in 3D and photo editors, documentation was prepared in CAD, design elements were developed and printed on a 3D printer, a motor control system with PWM speed control was implemented on the basis of a microcontroller, software was developed to control the model via Bluetooth.

And I claim this model as the first step in my new era of Lego railway building!

I purchased this old book illustration through an eBay auction in 2014, had it framed, and hung it on my office wall. Without knowledge of that, on October 24, 2023 Flickr ally Bill Smith referred me to an on online copy of the source book--"MOUNTAINEERING AND EXPLORATION in THE JAPANESE ALPS" by "the rev. WALTER WESTON, M.A., F.R.G.S." [Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society].
The book was “Published "LONDON: JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET. 1896."
The title page lists the author's affiliations:
MEMBER OF THE ALPINE CLUB
MEMBER OF THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF JAPAN
MEMBER OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY OF TOKYO, JAPAN
LATE BRITISH CHAPLAIN, KOBE, JAPAN
This is his description of the statue:
"In the precincts of an ancient temple [Nōfukuji, in Hyōgo] near my former Japanese home there sits the most remarkable, though the youngest, member of that numerous family of Daibutsu ("Great Buddha") so familiar to the traveller in this country. The features, it is true, wear the conventional expression typical of that absolute calm and passionless condition, that Nirvana to which the devout Buddhist aspires. But on the forehead, in place of the little boss of metal that stands for the sacred "jewel of the law," the artist has fixed an electric light ! In some respects it is certainly a speaking likeness, a parable in bronze, of the Japan of to-day, with all the novelties of modern civilisation engrafted on the old-world ways and thoughts that have for so many centuries characterized this most remarkable race."
Electric lamp on the forehead! I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else. A forehead light is not obvious here or on my other images of this Buddha. (According to the "History" page of the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan's website, the nation's first electric power company, Tokyo Electric Lighting, had started supplying electricity to the public in 1887.) The earliest electric lights and power lines on Nofukuji Daibutsu postcards in this collection are postmarked 1909. The first lamps were rudimentary and obtrusive (Nofukuji_Buddha_Postcard_001_front), but new designs blended in within a few years (Nofukuji_Buddha_Postcard_022_front).
A picture in Weston's book online is identical to the one I had framed years ago--right down to the page number in the lower right corner.
For the icing on the cake:
On the archive.org website Bill found about 45 seconds of movie film that was shot at Nofukuji Temple. It's described as being "from the 1930s, probably produced by the Mikimoto Pearl company." The post's text notes the following running times and synopses of these segments:
11:46 Children near the side-entrance to the old statue of Nofukuji Temple Kobe Great Buddha, now known as Hyogo Daibutsu, before its destruction in 1944, surrounded by votive posts.
12:01 – 12:28 Views of the old Great Buddha of Kobe / Hyogo.
12:29 – 12:40 Street scenes: Older woman praying at the incense burner.
This remarkable find is viewable at 1930s MIKIMOTO PEARL COMPANY PROMO FILM PRE-WAR TOKYO JAPAN TRAVELOGUE 22394.
Note: The Nofukuji portion of the film actually starts at 11:43.
I'm indebted to Bill for the Walter Weston book and film references. His research and company on the quest for the 1891-1944 Nofukuji Buddha are much appreciated.
See The Mystery of the Bronze Buddha for more views of and information about the statue.

Part of a cluster of odd sculptures in the woods outside Hazleton, PA in Beaver Meadows. Around this was an installation inlcuding a pickup truck with 'aliens' at the wheel painted with the words HOMELAND SECURITY, this is inside the shack with a sign reading "Job's Yummy House", headless Santas nearby, and an adjacent building with signs painted in the windows advertising Joseph A. Woitko Attorney at law, with Patriotic and Christmas themes.
Truth Justice Woitko.
Finding this just outside Hazleton, possibly the country's most racist city, the message and delivery were confusing, diluted with unrelated mountains of garbage, and these random critters which were decked out with lots of skulls and bones.

2011, an Innovation Knowledge Centre (IKC) for Smart Infrastructure and Construction was set up, based in the Department of Engineering, but involving colleagues from across the University – in the Department of Architecture, the Computer Laboratory and Judge Business School. The IKC works with construction, infrastructure and technology firms. Its aim is ambitious: its founders believe that it could kick-start a new industry dedicated to smart infrastructure and construction in the UK.
