Built in 1857. One of the two most deadly houses i ever went in. What you are looking at is four rooms and a massive internal chimney that have collapsed into the basement. Shot from the second floor hall.

A landscape version of distorted reflections of one mid-century building in the remaining darkened and blown glass panels of another on the brink of demolition.
These are Sentinel House (see flic.kr/p/2rjzqZz) and Charles House in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

Another photo of the Hexagon Tower, Manchester.
This building was 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 jay (Garrulus glandarius) is a songbird of the corvid family (Corvidae).
It is distributed over Europe, parts of North Africa and the Middle East, as well as in a broad belt through Asia and southwards to Indochina. It breeds in sparse, structurally rich forests of all kinds, but in Central Europe it prefers mixed and deciduous forests. Its food spectrum is very diverse, with animal food predominating in the summer half-year and plant food in the winter half-year. Before winter, extensive stores of acorns and other nut fruits are built up.
Southern and western European jays are mostly sedentary birds, central, eastern and northern European sub-migrants, with only some northern populations completely vacating their breeding territories in winter. In some years there are extensive evasions of northern and eastern European populations.
Der Eichelhäher (Garrulus glandarius) ist ein Singvogel aus der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae).
Er ist über Europa, Teile Nordafrikas und des Nahen Ostens sowie in einem breiten Gürtel durch Asien und dort südwärts bis nach Indochina verbreitet. Er brütet in lichten, strukturreichen Wäldern aller Art, in Mitteleuropa aber bevorzugt in Misch- und Laubwäldern. Sein Nahrungsspektrum ist sehr vielfältig, wobei im Sommerhalbjahr tierische, im Winterhalbjahr pflanzliche Nahrung überwiegt. Vor dem Winter werden umfangreiche Vorräte aus Eicheln und anderen Nussfrüchten angelegt.
Süd- und westeuropäische Eichelhäher sind meist Standvögel, mittel-, ost- und nordeuropäische Teilzieher, wobei nur einige nördliche Populationen ihre Brutgebiete im Winter komplett räumen. In manchen Jahren kommt es zu umfangreichen Evasionen nord- und osteuropäischer Populationen.
On those days / when I sense less of internal structure / I realize to focus more / on fixed structures in the surroundings

I'm a big fan of the Carquinez Bridges and have shot them from many different angles.
Somehow I got the idea that it would be cool to find a center point looking through the triangular supports from Crockett. The ideal alignment is a little lower than this and is most likely through someone's window. That being said this best alignment I could find from the street....
Another image of the much photographed, greatly loved, but soon to be demolished, Welbeck Street Car Park in London. Closed August 2018.

Update April 2019: This building is, sadly, currently in the process of being demolished.
A 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.
Here is another photo of mine showing a building in London by the same architects: flic.kr/p/Ts4f8Y
España - Ciudad Real - Ruidera - Laguna del Rey

ENGLISH:
The Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park is a protected natural area and one of the largest wetlands of importance located in the Spanish autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. The natural park is made up of a group of 16 river lagoons or pools along the Guadiana Viejo valley, as a continuation of the Pinilla River by its southeastern inflow, and by its northeastern inflow along the Arroyo Alarconcillo; separated and connected to each other by barriers of tufaceous or travertine formation. The difference in height between them makes the water flow through streams, waterfalls and falls, from one lagoon to another. Although man-made, the Peñarroya reservoir is also part of the park, due to its contribution to the management of water resources. These river lagoons, from a hydrological-structural point of view, are classified within the hydrowetlands of discharge.
ESPAÑOL:
El parque natural de las Lagunas de Ruidera es un espacio natural protegido y una de los grandes humedales de importancia situado en la comunidad autónoma española de Castilla-La Mancha. Forman el parque natural un conjunto de 16 remansos o lagunas fluviales a lo largo del valle del Guadiana Viejo, como continuación del río Pinilla por su afluencia sureste, y por su afluencia noreste a lo largo del Arroyo Alarconcillo; separados y conectados entre sí por barreras de formación tobácea o travertino. La diferencia de altura entre ellos hace que el agua discurra por arroyos, cascadas y saltos, de una a otra laguna. Aunque obra humana, el embalse de Peñarroya se integra también en el parque, por su aportación a la gestión de los recursos hídricos. Estas lagunas fluviales, desde el punto de vista hidrológico-estructural, se clasifican dentro de los hidrohumedales de descarga.

We do not possess tradition in order to become fossilized within it, but to develop it, even to the point of profoundly changing it. But in order to transform it, we must first of all act “with” what has been given to us; we must use it. And it is through the values and richness which I have received that I can become, in my own turn, creative, capable not only of developing what I find in my hands, but also changing radically both its meaning, its structure, and perspective.
