Have a great day Flickr friends! ;-)
I'm still finding little hidden gems in my archives. I posted a shot of this building in Bristol about a year ago. I love the crazy angles on this and the contrast in blues. It looks like it could either a horizonal or vertical shot.
A striking black and white architectural study showcasing dramatic geometric lines and shadows. The composition creates a bold abstract pattern through intersecting angles and stark contrasts.
As captured on the morning of September 11, 2017 using a Celestron C90 (90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain, f/13.9) and a ZWO ASI174MM camera.
This is a three panel mosaic and at full size (3094 x 2160 pixels) the image scale is approximately 0.8 arc seconds per pixel (this is the same angular size as a dime when viewed from a distance of 2.8 miles).

It's my daughter's Birthday this weekend, so it's off to Bristol for a bit of retail therapy and noodles for lunch!
One of the busiest weeks in a long time, so Alison Moyet in concert on Saturday, Paloma Faith in concert on Tuesday complete with a 42 piece orchestra/jazz band and finally saw the Vienna Festival Ballet perform Swan Lake on Thursday. Great fun, exhausting, but worth it! Will catch up with everyone as soon as I can....

The International Finance Centre (abbr. IFC, branded as "ifc") is an integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong's Central District.
A prominent landmark on Hong Kong Island, IFC consists of two skyscrapers, the IFC Mall, and the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the tallest building in Hong Kong, a title formerly held by Central Plaza. It is the third-tallest building in the Greater China region and the seventh-tallest office building in the world, based on structural heights; by roof height, only the Taipei 101, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Willis Tower exceed it. It is of similar height to the former World Trade Center. The International Commerce Centre, currently under construction above the MTR Kowloon station and scheduled for completion in 2010, will surpass 2IFC in each of these categories.
IFC was constructed and is owned by IFC Development, a consortium of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land and Towngas.[2]
The Airport Express Hong Kong Station is directly beneath it.
Two International Finance Centre, completed in 2003, is attached to the second phase of the ifc mall. This 415-meter-tall building, currently Hong Kong's tallest, is quoted as having 88 storeys and 22 high-ceiling trading floors to qualify as being extremely auspicious in Chinese culture. It is, however, short of the magic number, due to the fact that "taboo floors" like 14th and 24th are omitted as being inauspicious - 14 sounds like "definitely fatal" and 24 like "easily fatal" in Cantonese.
The highrise is designed to accommodate financial institutions. For example, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is located at the 55th floor. It is equipped with advanced telecommunications, raised floors for flexible cabling management, and nearly column-free floor plans. The building expects to accommodate up to 15,000 people. It is one of relatively few buildings in the world equipped with double-deck elevators.
The 55th, 56th and the 77th to 88th floors were bought by the HKMA for US$ 480 million in 2001.[5] An exhibition area, currently containing an exhibit of Hong Kong's monetary history, and a library of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Information Centre occupy the 55th floor, and are open to the public during office hours.[10]
Despite common practice for owners to allow naming buildings after its important tenants - the building accommodates some very prestigious tenants - the owners decided not to allow renaming of the building in fairness to all.[

According to Emporis, there are 7,650 skyscrapers in Hong Kong, which puts the city at the top of world rankings.[171] The high density and tall skyline of Hong Kong's urban area is due to a lack of available sprawl space, with the average distance from the harbour front to the steep hills of Hong Kong Island at 1.3 km (0.81 mi),[172] much of it reclaimed land. This lack of space causes demand for dense, high-rise offices and housing. Thirty-six of the world's 100 tallest residential buildings are in Hong Kong.[173] More people in Hong Kong live or work above the 14th floor than anywhere else on Earth, making it the world's most vertical city.[27][28]
As a result of the lack of space and demand for construction, few older buildings remain, and the city is becoming a centre for modern architecture. The International Commerce Centre (ICC), at 484 m (1,588 ft) high, is the tallest building in Hong Kong and the third tallest in the world, by height to roof measurement. [174] The tallest building prior to the ICC is Two International Finance Centre, at 415 m (1,362 ft) high.[175] Other recognisable skyline features include the HSBC Headquarters Building, the triangular-topped Central Plaza with its pyramid-shaped spire, The Center with its night-time multi-coloured neon light show, and I. M. Pei's Bank of China Tower with its sharp, angular façade. According to the Emporis website, the city skyline has the biggest visual impact of all world cities. The oldest remaining historic structures including the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, the Central Police Station, and the remains of Kowloon Walled City were constructed during the 19th century and early 20th century.
