(full colour mix) Coleyville country. ...from an Easter Monday drive with Ernie to Rosevale, via Coleyville, and up the Kerwitz Road. Ernie is 91 and retired from his diary farm in the area about 34 years ago. There are changes in farmers' approaches in the area as the diary industry structurally adjusts to a modern economy. There are very few diary farms left. Most of the land has been given over to beef cattle (as with this one), horse studs and hobby farms. Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen...

Another detail shot of Manchester's Hexagon Tower.
Completed in 1973 for ICI.
For 50 years this Brutalist building’s facade was of concrete. The facade was over-clad with insulated aluminium rainscreen in 2023/2024, retaining the hexagonal shape of the original structure’s windows.
The 14-storey tower was named after the hexagon shaped windows based on the chemical compound Benzene, which is widely used in the creation of synthetic dyes.
Original architect was Richard Seifert.

The new Design Museum in Kensington opened in November 2016. The building was formerly the home of the Commonwealth Institute and it was opened in 1962. The architects were RMJM (Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall). This photo shows a section of the original roof structure.
Detail shot of Musée d'Orsay, an art gallery in Paris, France, on the Left Bank of the River Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built in 1898 - 1900.
The station was designed by three architects, namely Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux.
I understand that the building ceased being a railway station in the 1970s and, at one point, it was threatened with demolition.
The museum officially opened in December 1986.

A view up into the canopy on a misty morning in Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire. I was taken by the snaking structure of the branches as the reach up into the sky.
Another landscape version of the ‘Cheesegrater’, a car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. 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.

Sometimes you think nothing is a coincidence. Moments after finishing this GIMPed abstract of "The Wave", I saw a photograph that had many similarities. So I copied the very suitable title of that photo.
The Wave, Almere, Flevoland, The Netherlands.
Design: René van Zuuk (2004)

New building currently under construction, with slanted window lines, in the City of London. Architects: Flanagan Lawrence.
A long colonnade of sun deflector panels angles across the facade of a low swimming pool building, their blue-grey surfaces tilted toward the sky like votive offerings to an unseen source of light. The rhythm of triangulated white supports below each panel recalls both the structural logic of a Roman aqueduct and the serial geometry of Minimalist sculpture.
Perforated metal cladding fills the intervals between glazed bays, its pattern of apertures dissolving the wall into something closer to screen than solid. The blue structural verticals and the blue of the sky above seem to have agreed, quietly, on the same frequency.

The building was originally a metal works shop, built in 1916. Today, it’s a wine storage facility in a trendy part of Portland.
