Another photo of this car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, affectionately known as the ‘Cheesegrater’. It was designed by architects Allies and Morrison.
In 2009 it won a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Regional Award. These awards are given to UK buildings for their regional architectural importance. In 2013 it gained third place in the 'World’s Coolest Car Park' awards.

I was lucky to visit it on a sunny day in June 2022.

Feliz aniversário, meu caro irmão! :-)

Somewhere along the way
I got caught up in the race
I kept spinning and turning
Lost myself my hope my faith
We're always wanting more than what we have
And what I've learned is all I really need are...
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
The best things in life
Are the simple things
Hey everybody don't get me wrong you got to understand ambition and knowledge
Are the seeds of every woman and man
It's good to work... work hard and prosper
As long as you take time to find...
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
That the best things in life
Are the simple things
Solo
This world moves so fast
Sometimes you got to slow down, down, down
To find out what its all about
We're always wanting more than what we have
What I've learned, is what I really need are
The simple things
That come without a price
The simple things
Like happiness joy and love in my life
I've seen it all from so many sides
And I hope you would agree
The best things in life
Are the simple things

Shadows and silhouettes. Looking through the window of a derelict warehouse in West Yorkshire on a sunny day.
The light showing through the space where the roof once was has created an abstract feel to the dilapidated structure behind the window.

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder
These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.
The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.
I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.
I was born in Poland in the early 80's. The times of the worst political system in the world, the times when the only thing you could buy at store was vinegar, when you had to stand in lines for several days and nights to buy a piece of furniture and if you wanted to buy a toilet paper you had to bring a string with you. But I don't remember all that. All I remember that those were the happiest days of my life because I was with my brother and parents. It sometimes is not so obvious with the world filled with toys, noise, media that what my kids need the most is me. And spending time with them is the best thing I can do for them.

Life is so busy... it seems to go by in a quick blur! Sometimes you just have to "stop and smell the... flowers."
Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the small things in life!
On a vacation last year, somewhere on the road between North Carolina and Tennessee these flowers were everywhere and I just had to get some pictures of them.

This is a Cubist villa designed by the French architect, Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Yves St Laurent lived at the house from the early 1980s until his death.
The house was built in the Majorelle Garden, a two and half acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was created by the French Orientalist artist, Jacques Majorelle.

This is another view of the Bernini’s spiral staircase, looking up at the residential apartment attached to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The “hidden” staircase can only be viewed through a guided tour conducted by the Basilica’s personnel.

A simple jetty. Stand here on a calm morning or still evening and wonder, "Is there a more calming place in all the world?"
Loch Shiel, Acharacle, Ardnamurchan, Highlands, Scotland
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

A photo from my 'Sight Lines' solo architectural photography exhibition, held in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire from 12th October to 19th November 2021.

I built this SUPER basic vig a while back, I'd love to hear what y'all have to say about this and if I should build more SW.
GOD BLESS!
