I usually photograph buildings making sure verticals are vertical etc.so thought try tilt camera at angle and look up to accentuate converging verticals, taken with wide angle lens.
Bit trial and error deciding where to crop.
Intent to make all b&w, but made some colour as top of building is yellow.
I like the clouds.

Standing on top of the Pokfulam hill, this building originally called Douglas Castle, dates back to 1861 when a wealthy Scottish trader named Douglas Lapraik built it as place of his residence. Architected in English Tudor style, the facade has an abundance of flamboyant flame-like windows.
In 1894, during the bubonic plague, the castle was sold to the French Mission which used the building as a monastery and gave it a new name of Nazareth.
In 1954, the building was transferred to the University of Hong Kong. University Hall, commonly known in short as UHall, has since been a dormitory for 108 university male students.......Wikipedia

The main building at Redlands University. Shot during a rain storm. I added a little extra grunge to help with the mood.

The Wilkins Building, UCL, on Gower Street, Bloomsbury. Designed by William Wilkins (1827-9).
Originally opened in 1828 as the University of London, University College was set up as a secular institution - the first university in England and Wales open to non-Anglicans, and was modeled on German universities.
The building seen here is in fact a compromise. Wilkins' original competition-winning design was a grand, E-shaped scheme, with a Corinthian portico and 3 domes, around a large quadrangle screened from Gower street by Doric columns.

The Shelley Memorial
"Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity."
Shelley, "Adonais".
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in 1792 in Sussex and came from a prominent family being the son of the MP for Horsham.
The Shelley memorial was erected at University College in 1892-3 it lies in the west front quad of the college under a dome painted with stars and is close to The High Street, yet it seems another world. The domed memorial was intended for the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. Curiously Shelley’s memorial is placed in the college from which he was sent down from in 1811 for publishing a “scandalous” document “The Necessity of Atheism”, this had be co-written with his friend Jefferson Hogg. Lady Shelley presented the memorial to University College, who by 1894 had undoubtedly forgiven Shelley’s earlier misdemeanour. Following the disgrace of the pamphlet Shelley eloped with sixteen year old Harriet Westbrook to Scotland, this marriage like Shelley’s tempestuous life was doomed, and Harriet drowned herself in the Serpentine (Hyde Park.) Drowning was to be the romantic poet’s own fate eleven years later when he too was lost, his yacht was sunk in a storm in the Bay of Lerici following a visit to Lord Byron . Onslow Ford’s monument is very “fin de siècle” it was designed to appear as if the muse of poetry and two lions support the drowned poet on a slab of Conemara marble as if floating on an invisible sea. The cold marble of his naked body contrasts with the heavy bronze of its support. The whole edifice is behind a grille and is locked so one usually observes it from eye level. The monument and its architectural surround was described by Pevsner as “extremely lush.” (P.211 Oxfordshire The Buildings of England , Yale Press) The memorial is an intriguing piece of work and is not generally open to public view. Basil Champneys (1842-1920) who was the architect was also responsible for Newham College Cambridge and Mansfield College Oxford. His work is often cited as late gothic, however in this case his influences appear more classical in keeping with the mausoleum.
It is worth comparing the University College monument with Weekes’ 1854 one of Shelley (In Christchurch Abbey). This monument was intended for St Peter’s Bournemouth where the poet’s heart is buried. (NT)
