Sunlight flooding into a stairwell in Haggerston School, Hackney.
This stairwell is within one of the original parts of the building, designed by Ernő Goldfinger and opened in 1966.
The circular details in the surface of the concrete wall and the louvred openings in the window are no doubt both design elements from Goldfinger's original plan.
A reflection shot of the side of Bath college, taken during a lovely sunny day a few weeks ago. So many angles going on in this shot.
another shot of the metallic sculpture at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK in front of the red painted panel.
I think the two pieces complimented one another quite well to give this image. Summer 2016.

Brilliant Scuderia spotted on a lovely day. A very annoying car to photograph, this one. Reflections/tones were all over the place.
Tried to reduce the angle as much as possible, lol. Was a mistake I made during the shooting :P Nevertheless, tell me what you think.
Animal, vegetable or undiscovered alien critter? It's at least part anemone or antimony. Who the heck let those blue streaks in? Trump blasted me again on the Twittzler and decreed predominantly orange fireworks. Yassuh boss man! Right afterward, I got a heads up from Goosifrier 9.11. They must be cohorts of Putin? The meeting MUST go on. Trump HAS to report per contractual agreements. Disclaimer: no 1 percenters were injured by having to pay for this display!
This followed up my quick start and chat on my nice park bench over at Roger's Grove Park after I heard the previous double blast that pierced my reverie. OMG, it's more orange again! Boy, is Trump ever giving my evening shots a terrible name! This looks like some amount of zoom on the telephoto and of course, the usual jiggles.
According to the city's web site: "Roger's Grove Nature Area consists of 54.9 acres adjacent to the St. Vrain Greenway and includes Fairgrounds Lake, trails, a shelter, outdoor amphitheater, restrooms, native landscaping, demonstration gardens and an apple grove with fruit free for your harvest! Design and construction of the nature area was primarily funded by the Roger and Roberta Jones Foundation. Roger Jones (1915-1995), enjoyed walking along the river with his wife Roberta (1913-1992). Both educators in the St. Vrain Valley School system, the Jones' wanted to contribute an environment for children and adults to visit, learn and enjoy. Roger's Grove was developed as a nature area, arboretum and outdoor learning center. Additional funding came from the Colorado Lottery and Great Outdoors Colorado."
I am rolling out this year's Fourth of July celebration using action on the medium telephoto-zoom. This looks like nebulae many light years away and many millennia ago. It seems a star field exploded in the background. I particularly like the veils slung by bony fingers that happened over the hand-held three second exposure. I got hand-held veils that trailed during hand holding. I do like those hand-held telephoto traces. This EXIF reports 200mm but I used a long zoom range over the reddish explosions happened as I triggered the zoom.

ENGLISH
The Casa de les Punxes or Casa Terradas is a building designed by the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Located in the intersection between the streets of Rosselló, Bruc and the Avinguda Diagonal in the Barcelona Eixample area.
Designed by modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, la Casa de les Punxes is located in the intersection of the three surrounding streets Avinguda Diagonal, Carrer Rosselló and Carrer Bruc, in the Eixample of Barcelona.
In 1905, Bartomeu Terradas Brutau commissioned Josep Puig i Cadafalch to design a house for each of his three sisters, Angela, Josefa and Rosa. The result was a building reminiscent of old medieval castles, with elements of different architectural trends and various technical innovations, with six pointed towers (crowned by conical spikes), one of its distinctive features which gave the popular name of Casa de les Punxes.
This spectacular building is one of the most emblematic of Barcelona, as well as being key to understanding the movement of Catalan Modernism. Declared a historical monument of National Interest in 1976, Casa de les Punxes is one of the most emblematic buildings in Barcelona. It is now privately owned, with space for different offices.
La Casa de les Punxes, also known as Casa Terradas, underwent rehabilitation work in 2016 inside one of the buildings. These renovations were executed under the guidance of architect Jaume Falguera.
It has always been a tourist attraction thanks to its façade and its location among other tourist spots of the city such as La Pedrera or La Sagrada Familia.
CATALÀ
La casa de les Punxes o casa Terradas és un edifici de Barcelona dissenyat per l'arquitecte modernista Josep Puig i Cadafalch, gran coneixedor del gòtic europeu, tornà a usar el llenguatge medievalitzant, revisat amb motius populars, que fa que superi el caràcter purament historicista que altrament podria tenir l'edifici.[1] L'edifici es troba entre els carrers de Rosselló, Bruc i l'avinguda Diagonal a l'Eixample de Barcelona. Va ser declarat Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional el 9 de gener del 1976.
La casa Terrades, anomenada popularment la casa de les "Punxes", per la seva estructura visible, forma una illa de cases irregular, entre l'avinguda de la Diagonal i els carrers del Rosselló, de Llúria i del Bruc.
Es tracta de tres edificis que formen un volum unitari, amb celoberts trapezials, ordenadors de l'interior. Exteriorment, és format per sis façanes articulades als angles per sis torres cilíndriques acabades en cuculles, el més gran amb una llanterna.
Tret de la planta baixa, on pràcticament s'usà només la pedra, la resta de l'edifici és de maó vist, amb detalls escultòrics de pedra -tribunes, emmarcaments de balcons, pinacles, sanefes decoratives-, cuculles de ceràmica vidriada i teulada de teula àrab. Hi destaquen també alguns treballs de forja i plafons de ceràmica de colors a la part superior d'alguns sectors de les façanes.
Les obertures de la planta baixa, un seguit d'arcs de mig punt, formen una galeria seguida, interrumpuda en escasses ocasions per uns petits cossos -de maó vist-, sobre els quals sobresurten tres nivells superposats de tribunes.
La importància de la planta noble es fa palesa especialment a la façana de la Diagonal, on apareixen balcons -amb barana i altres de forja-, les obertures de les quals reprodueixen models propis, no ja del gòtic sinó del renaixement. La resta d'obertures combinen la llinda, els arcs rebaixats i els arcs de mig punt. L'acabament de la torre principal és resolt amb barbacanes.
El coronament de les façanes, amb les teulades a dues vessants, no es tradueix, però, a l'interior, cobert per un terrat pla. Les torres angulars amb sengles cuculles contribueixen a donar-li l'aspecte de castell nòrdic.[1]
A la casa Terrades, Puig i Cadafalch, gran coneixedor del gòtic europeu, torna a usar un llenguatge medievalitzant juntament amb motius populars que fan que superi el caràcter purament historicista que altrament podria tenir l’edifici.
