This is one cool building! When you come across it wedged in amongst all the other blocks in London's financial district it's immediately recognisable with all the externally mounted, staircases, lifts, and services.
Sitting at No 1 Lime Street it was completed 28 years ago at a cost of 75 million quid. it still looks the business. Sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building it's the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London.
The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior. Twenty-five years after completion in 1986 it received a Grade I listing; it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status. It is said by English Heritage to be "universally recognised as one of the key buildings of the modern epoch.
It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. The building consists of three main towers and three service towers around a central, rectangular space. Its core is the large Underwriting Room on the ground floor, which houses the famous Lutine Bell within the Rostrum. The Underwriting Room (often simply called "the Room") is overlooked by galleries, forming a 60 metres (197 ft) high atrium lit naturally through a huge barrel-vaulted glass roof. The first four galleries open onto the atrium space, and are connected by escalators through the middle of the structure. The higher floors are glassed in and can only be reached via the exterior lifts.

It's so long since I saw one of these I had forgotten about them. Now I remember it was quite a pleasing experience to use one - the sound of the strip of stamps being fed out of the slot when you lifted the flap marked 'LIFT", and the crisp way your purchased stamps would tear off at the perforations. Quite often, the effectiveness of the perforations was deficient, and you would lose a corner of your last stamp to the benefit of the next purchaser. These machines were very convenient, being available when post offices were closed, and with the cost of stamps being around a half penny to tuppence they could be bought with the available coinage. Now, a stamp will cost you 64p (eqivalent to 153 old pennies btw) so you can see why stamp machines died out.
After they get off the commuter train on time and get out of the Tokyo Metro station there is an atrium where the high-speed elevators deliver employees to their offices within thirty seconds. They don’t waste even one minute. Everything in their society including themselves is controlled by the machines they made.

So close to the ocean! One wonders how long ago such a...ahem...Clipper had sailed these seas! I wonder how practical the color of this Clipper would be when sailing the seas. Perhaps this color choice has some stealthy or surveillance context. (Oh my, I'm as corny as ever!)

Eureka is an old mining town fighting hard to not become a ghost town and making progress in that direction.
Whoop! Little bit early with my second post for the month, but you know what they say the early bird gathers no moss... or something 😉

Another old typewriter. This pre-dates even me, and is a marvellous piece of machinery. As I sit here typing away on my itty bitty wireless keyboard, I feel somewhat disconnected from the process which is taking place. With these old machines, we were very much a part of the process and it felt right somehow.

A simple Spirograph style LEGO drawing machine.
There are definitely more elaborate ones out there, but I wanted to create a relatively simple one that could still create some cool designs.
