An icon from my home country of England.

 

Located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, built in 1859.

 

More commonly known as Big Ben, its official title being the Elizabeth Tower, in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.

 

The original architect for the clock tower was Augustus Pugin, not Charles Barry who designed the Palace. It stands 96 m in height.

 

The Palace of Westminster as a whole has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

Rb67 180mm Ilford HP5+ @1600

I went to the Lofoten Islands for snowy cliffs and mountains, but came back with lots of images of man-made features. This shot was actually one of my favourites - reminds me of the Scandi thriller.

Form trifft Kontrast – das Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in seiner skulpturalen Eleganz.

"Throughout the ages, it has been the simple buildings that solve a problem that become the representative buildings of their time."

- William "Bill" Robb

  

This is the Fort Collins Savings and Loan Building, built in 1970. It is an example of one of Bill Robb’s “simple buildings” in Fort Collins, Colorado. I chose it for the We’re Here! theme today – Black and White Architecture.

 

It is also fitting topic 5/123, "Angles” for 123 pictures in 2023

 

I found an article about Bill Robb and learned he was the only architect in town when he set up shop in 1953, and it stayed that way for some years. Fort Collins was an agricultural town and quite conservative. The area never broadly embraced Googie, New Formalist, or Brutalist design, but its offices, residences, and churches reflect some profound local examples of Modern architecture. The key, defining examples of the movement for Fort Collins, largely Contemporary or Usonian in inspiration, in many cases, sprang from the desk of William Robb.

We went to USA in September 2016. These next set of images are from just a few of the places that we visited. It is a fantastic place to explore. These are from Boston’s CityScape.
