Well out of the loop with Flickr after a busy week. Threw this together just as I left the house again this morning. Another shot looking west down the nave of Exeter Cathedral. Pleased with the shot, but not had a proper look after a harried processing and may be a little dark.
The word Yazd means, feast and worship, The city of Yazd has resisted the modern urbasisation changes and maintained its traditional structure. The geographical features of this region have made people developed special architectural styles. For this reason, in the older part of the city most houses are built of mud-bricks and have domed roofs. These materials served as insulation preventing heat from passing through.
The existence of special ventilation structures, called Badgirs, on the roofs is a distinctive feature of the architecture of this city (A Badgir is a high structure on the roof under which, in the interior of the building, there is a small pool). Therefore, Yazd has presented its stable identity at the foothills of the 4000 meter Shir Kooh.
The Turning Torso is a residential skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden. It towers 190m high and was completed in 2005.
This photo is a 263s long exposure with a stacked 10-stop and 6-stop ND filter. The weather was sunny but bearable - taking this kind of photo in Singapore in the daytime is tough!

El Puente Monumental de La Arganzuela, también conocido como Puente de Perrault, es sin lugar a dudas, el lugar más fotografiado, visitado y recorrido de Madrid-Río.
Pasarela sobre el Río Manzanares, su forma de tirabuzón y sus dos brazos que suman 278 metros le hacen verdaderamente espectacular y futurista. Su cobertura, de malla metálica que brilla con el sol durante el día, y su iluminación nocturna permiten que este puente se vea prácticamente desde todo el Parque. Su pavimento interior es de madera y por él pueden circular bicicletas y peatones.
Desde un punto de vista práctico, el puente de Perrault une los distritos de Arganzuela – con entrada por el paseo de Yeserías- y Carabanchel - a la calle Antonio López.
Dominique Perrault, a quien este puente debe su sobrenombre, es el arquitecto francés de 57 años que ha diseñado y dirigido la construcción de este Puente que ha costado a la ciudad de Madrid 13,6 millones de euros.
En definitiva, toda una obra de nuestro tiempo, que con el paso de los años se convertirá sin duda alguna en uno de los iconos de Madrid.
Este puente es obra del arquitecto francés Dominique Perrault, al cual los madrileños debemos también la Caja Mágica. El puente unirá el Paseo de Yeserías y la Avenida del Manzanares, y será la puerta principal de entrada al parque de Arganzuela. La inauguración será el próximo 15 de abril, y como podéis observar en las fotos (20 de marzo de 2011) está ya muy avanzado. Tiene 250 metros de longitud y 5 metros de anchura, con carril bici, paseo para peatones y unas gradas para sentarse. El suelo es de madera y en el centro tiene grupos de farolas con varios focos.

I can't decide between the two images which is the better one this one or version 1 so I'll let you decide and I'll delete the one with the less likes. You may hate both which is equally fine as I'm very unsure myself.
A 2-frame panoramic stitch from the John Hancock Center at night.
When I first shot from the JHC roof last October, I was kicking myself for not actively shooting frames to make a panorama...the awesome view and nerves were apparently clouding my judgment. Well, I was going back through some of my raw frames yesterday, and realized two images I took might just stitch together - and they did. Not sure how I missed this before, but I'm glad I did!

The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, is a 95-storey skyscraper, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, in Southwark, London. Completed in 2012, and standing 309.6 metres (1,016 feet) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom.
From Wikipedia: The original plans designed by Hoit, Price and Barnes included a twin building to be paired on the immediate west side of the building, but plans were abandoned after the Great Depression took a greater toll than expected. As a result, the west side of the building has no windows. After its completion in 1931, the Power and Light Building was Missouri's tallest habitable structure at 36 stories, until the completion of the One U.S. Bank Plaza building in St. Louis in 1976. In 2002, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Taken from the 27th Floor of my office building across the way medium high atop downtown Kansas City, Missouri (I know I know, I should be working but . . . . . ).

Inspired by Montanan Brett Swain ( www.flickr.com/photos/brettswain/ ). Over a recent dinner we had, I moaned that I had no mountains to photograph in Kansas City, and he reminded me that he had no urban sky lines to photograph in Kalispell Montana. Proof that it is all in the perspective.
