Former BT Office in College Street. It was closed during COVID and never reopened. Canon FD 28mm f/2.8
so this is the deal : on my first weekend with the photo club in Les Ardennes, Belgium, one of the members grabbed and held this up in the sky so we could capture it with suitable light;
it really looks like a satellite to me, don't you agree ?
A 1982 Bedford mini van in British Telecom yellow, although the DVLA have this down as a blue van..... at 1256cc, the engine isn't the nippiest out there.
While talking to The 'H' Man yesterday, the conversation turned to this pair of Enviro 300s - not surprising, really as he now owns one ! I thought I would document their history in pictures here.
This is the only shot I managed to get of one in service, departing with its next load of visitors to the Goonhilly Earth Station near Helston, Cornwall. They were used on this work for 5 years, being sold off when the centre was being prepared for privatisation.

Former First Leeds X84 brand 37672 now resides at Huddersfield. Seen here negotiating the tight country lanes round Oldfield on route 308.

TELECOM
Ubicado sobre una parcela de 6000 metros cuadrados en el Extremo Norte de Puerto Madero, este edificio es obra de los Estudios de Arquitectura Kohn Pedersen Fox (New York, EE.UU.) y Hampton Rivoira y Asociados (Buenos Aires, ARG.).
El solar ha sido dividido en tres zonas: la primera es un Area de Uso público que es utilizada como plaza, la segunda es un Area que es construible hasta los 15 metros (la altura de los depósitos de ladrillo existentes) y la tercera, donde se erigió la Torre, permite construcciones de hasta 120 metros de altura.
Esta obra, construida en el dique 4, sirve como remate norte del Puerto Madero.
El edificio ha sido concebido como si estuviera compuesto de dos volúmenes principales edificados: el primero es un volumen simple rectangular cuya fachada es de vidrio y metal; el segundo es una pantalla vidriada que ha sido rotada sobre la línea diagonal del inmueble. Esta pantalla dirige la entrada al Puerto hacia el norte y provee un dinámico contrapunto con el otro volumen.
DÁRSENA NORTE
Es un cuadrilátero irregular que se inauguró en 1897, en medio de denuncias polémicas por la ineficacia del sistema adoptado. En un principio tuvo depósitos en sus muelles sur, este y oeste, actualmente sólo queda un depósito sobre el muelle sur, que pertenece a la Empresa Buquebus y en otro extremo se encuentra el Antiguo Edificio del Yacht Club Argentino, del Arquitecto Le Monnier.
Hau‘ula, O‘ahu.
Can you hear me now? I came across this pretty pink toy cell phone with plastic xmas-tree antennae one day. I placed it on this stone cairn - one that someone had built.
