Architecture – Traditional
This is another series buildings, built in almost every style, using different materials, from all over Great Britain. Some buildings have been named, but I have made no real effort to find Architects or Designers etc., It’s OK to appreciate the buildings for what they are.
The Shock of the New
This is the continuing series of images entitled ‘Shock of the New’. I’m showing how Modern Architecture has embedded itself with the more Traditional Architectural styles. Some successful, some in my view not so. But we’re all different. You may like them. What It does tell you however, is that progress cannot be stopped. There are forces greater than you out there.
Architecture – Modern
This is another collection of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.

A river retreat
There's something so timeless about the architecture of old pubs. They've stood for generations, a gathering place for the community. You can't help but wonder about all the stories held within these walls. The simple beauty of this building is a perfect snapshot of a quieter time.
14th century Vicars Close in Wells. An architectural gem. And a random little girl obligingly ran into my shot and tripped on the cobbles, in precisely the right spot. Vicars Close is just across the road from Wells cathedral. Lovely as the cathedral is, this street impressed me more.
The Royal Crescent, the glorious Georgian sweep of 30 terraced houses in the British city of Bath, Somerset.
Designed by architect John Wood the Younger and built in Bath stone (limestone) between 1767 and 1774.
The crescent runs for 150 m and has 114 Ionic columns on the first floor with an entablature in a Palladian style above.
In the late 19th century five cast iron lamp columns with decorative scrollwork were added, which try as I might I could not achieve an angle without one in it.
However, it was nice to have the sun push through the clouds on this winter day and light up the stone so beautifully.
The crescent is a Grade I listed building.
No. 1 Royal Crescent is a historic house museum, owned and maintained by the Bath Preservation Trust, to illustrate how wealthy owners of the late 18th century might have furnished and occupied such a house.

The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the upper house, the House of Lords, it meets in the Palace of Westminster in London, England. The House of Commons is an elected body consisting of 650 members known as members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected to represent constituencies by the first-past-the-post system and hold their seats until Parliament is dissolved.
A secluded garden, in a bombed out gothic church, in the heart of London. A favourite haunt of mine.
I was fortunate enough to visit and photograph the serenely beautiful St. Dunstan-in-the-East. Steeped in fascinating history, this place, once a cathedral and now a public garden after being ravaged in World War II, truly captivated me. It's a little-known treasure tucked away in England.

Heritage Day
Saturday 29th March 2025
Captured in Greenwich, London, this image frames a stunning 18th-century masterpiece of neoclassical design and architectural ensemble. The right rises the tower dome of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul. On the left, the elegant tower dome of the Painted Hall complements the scene. Beyond, the Thames River meanders towards the iconic Canary Wharf skyline.
Dieses Bild fängt die Seele Londons in klassischem Schwarz-Weiß ein. Der Straßenzug, mit seinen charakteristischen Gebäuden und der geschäftigen, aber zugleich nostalgischen Atmosphäre, zeigt eine andere, zeitlose Seite der britischen Metropole.
Die Kontraste zwischen Licht und Schatten heben die Details der Architektur hervor, während die stillen Straßen einen Moment der Ruhe in der sonst so pulsierenden Stadt einfangen. Ein Blick auf London, wie es früher hätte sein können – elegant, charmant und voller Geschichten. ️
Tipp: Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie eignet sich besonders, um die Schönheit urbaner Szenen hervorzuheben. Probiere es bei deinem nächsten Spaziergang durch London aus!

Heage Windmill, Heage, Derbyshire UK
A little excursion to do something a little different. Here's one from my trip today to Heage Windmill.
Who would of thought that hundreds of years ago, the science of "Airfoil Technologies" was being developed on the ground.
This is a six sail mill - an unusual thing in itself and comes complete with it's own shuttering system - the prior technology was cloth sails that had to be battened during strong winds.
An interesting place and a lovely walk amongst some of Derbyshire's wonderful rolling countryside.

We realized the the day was slowly drawing to a close as we drifted over the Thames toward St. Paul's. A brief chat on how to cap off the day's tour, and it was decided that we should head over to London's newer architectural enclave, Canary Wharf. Glass and steel awaited in abundance.
Shortly after taking this photo, we were approached by police, who politely advised us not to use our cameras in the area. There were many officers patrolling the area.
