Someone who will talk to you in French or, mostly, in Arabic! These are the two powerful mediumwave transmitters (1233 kHz) of Radio Monte Carlo (now called RMC Doualiya) in Cape Greco, Cyprus. RMC is a French broadcasting company covering the entire Middle East and North Africa. In the evening, these transmitters function as a relay for the programmes, also in Arabic, of Trans World Radio. TWR is a US-based Christian mission broadcaster promoting the gospel (in US-evangelical understanding) to the Muslim world. You do know now who is calling. 7Artisans manual lens probably at F11, polariser used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.
Once again we are at Lake Shuswap where we are frequently privy to some amazing sunsets. I have an "old haunt" picked out that gives me direct access to the far mountains, and the setting sun during summer. Again, mother nature delivered her finest and I captured a few images.
The next night we shared the sunset and enjoyed a late dinner on the beach. The sky can be as entertaining as any tv show, as scenes change with each passing moment. Every night channel NBS delivered award winning entertainment that we enjoyed from the comfort of our chairs.

Broadcasting Tower is a university building in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England. It houses the Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology, while the main tower section consists of student flats.
It was designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley. It is clad in COR-TEN weathering steel, which has given it the rust-like appearance it is known for.[
In some parts of the world agricultural practices have not changed for thousands of years. This photo, taken in the Iranian deserts near Hamedan shows a farmer scattering (broadcasting) seed by hand over his land.
Broadcasting House, Leeds. It’s won various national and international Architecture awards, and is a building that divides opinion. One thing I’m certain of is that the designer didn’t account for Peregrine Falcons nesting on the side of it...

I love landscape photographs. But sometimes I feel the need to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
After all, it's the FEAR and UNCERTAINTY that keep us going.
I came across an article on long exposure architectural photography not along ago and I found it really interesting. I like good architecture and I thought I would try it out.
This is the Leeds Broadcasting Tower, part of the Leeds Beckett University. You're not alone if you're thinking along the line of radio or TV broadcasting. I don't think it actually does any of that. It was awarded the Best Tall Building In The World in 2010 by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
Post-Processing
The image was taken with the camera pointing straight up to the sky. I used separate exposures for the building and the sky. The Formatt Hitech Firecrest 16 (ND16) really helped to get the motion blur for the clouds during bright daylight. Post-processed with luminosity masks in Photoshop and Nik SIlver Efex Pro.
Thanks for visiting and have a nice day ! =)
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast from the building was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May. The main building is in Art Deco style, with a facing of Portland stone over a steel frame. It is a Grade II* listed building and includes the BBC Radio Theatre, where music and speech programmes are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The head of BBC history, Robert Seatter, has said George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), "reputedly based his notorious Room 101 from the novel "on a room he had worked in whilst at the BBC."
In 1985 it was revealed by The Observer that MI5 had had a special office in the building from 1937 for the purpose of vetting BBC employees for national security purposes.

According to Wikipedia, there are no fewer than 40 radio studios and 17 television studios inside. All your favourite BBC radio programs and news channels are recorded here by the looks of it.

86/100 London landmarks by night
Commenting disabled. Thanks for viewing!
After the visit to the cat cafe we decided to make our way to Battersea, walking back a slightly different route to Oxford Circus to catch the Tube. I was surprised to pass these London landmarks.
This shows the exterior of Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London.
A new East wing, built in the same Portland stone as the original Broadcasting House, balances the existing construction. The two buildings are linked by a glass-fronted extension, allowing visitors and passers-by to witness the BBC's daily activities. The glass was specially treated to create varied lighting effects throughout the day.
An integrated lighting scheme for the site also embraces the neighbouring All Souls' Church. The Broadcasting House complex surrounds a new central 'piazza' space, a new public destination in central London, with facilities including a cafe and performance area. (From BBC.com)
The main building was refurbished, and an extension built to the rear. The radio stations BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service transferred to refurbished studios within the building. The extension links the old building with the John Peel Wing, and includes a new combined newsroom for BBC News, with studios for the BBC News channel, BBC World News and other news programming. The move of news operations from BBC Television Centre was completed in March 2013. The official name of the building is "Broadcasting House" but the BBC, until 2024, used the term "new Broadcasting House" (with a lowercase 'n') in its publicity referring to the new extension rather than the whole building, with the original building known as "old Broadcasting House".

One final photo from one of my favourite experiences of 2025.
Back at the start of December the band Public Service Broadcasting played two concerts at the Barbican accompanied by the London Contemporary Orchestra. Always a great live band but the orchestra filled out the sound and added a layer of subtlety which gave it immense poignancy.
If you're intrigued you can get acquainted with the band here : www.youtube.com/channel/UCUAQP4-X6BlNAAtbVHGiE1A

From www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/ , "It’s striking to reflect that Public Service Broadcasting, and their stirring archival narratives for cinematic rock, electronics and orchestra, have been with us since 2009. Led by instrumentalist-auteur J. Willgoose, Esq., these masters of conceptual pop historiography have depicted humankind scaling Everest and confronting Nazism on 2013’s Inform- Educate-Entertain, and launching into the cosmos on The Race For Space in 2015. 2017’s Every Valley then examined societal struggle via Britain’s coal industry, while 2021’s Bright Magic was a dizzying portrait of Euro-metropolis Berlin. 2023’s This New Noise, recorded live at the BBC Proms, was a love letter to the national broadcaster in its most elemental form. In each case, what was removed in time and specific in nature became vital and universal, as the human spirit was fathomed and saluted.
Now the band will consider a quite different, and more personal, type of heroism. The Last Flight concerns the final voyage of America’s pioneering female “aviatrix” Amelia Earhart. In 1922, aged just 25, she flew higher than any woman before her. In the years that followed she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, set multiple speed and distance records, and mixed with the highest and the best. In 1937 she found a new ceiling to shatter and announced that she would circumnavigate the globe. Taking off from Oakland in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra aircraft on May 20, she crossed the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. On July 2, she and her navigator Fred Noonan left Papua New Guinea to fly to Howland Island in the Central Pacific. She never made it, and instead ascended to the level of myth reserved for the bravest adventurers."

I tried the photography that combined a magnifying glass with #extrabokeh on that day. My camera bag becomes bigger.
By the way, the pictures with the magnifying glass, I named it #glassporthole.
On March 31, 2015, it is Shinjuku, the Roppongi area at Nerima government office.

この日は #エクストラボケ と虫眼鏡を組み合わせた撮影を試してみました。 僕のカメラバッグはどんどん大きくなります。
ところで、虫眼鏡を使った撮影を、ぼくは #グラスポートホール と名づけました。

One of my favourite shots from a recent Public Service Broadcasting gig at the New Theatre in Oxford.
Seen here are the Brassy Gents, an energetic and entertaining trio of brass musicians that always add so much to a PSB gig. Oh, and a couple of Astronauts.....
Given we were sat in the 2nd row and for most of the gig the only two empty seats in the theatre were in front of us it seemed rude not to to take some phone shots.

'Algie' - the original Pink Floyd Pig hovering over the piazza at BBC Broadcasting House. This giant inflatable pig was used on the album cover 'Animals'. It was there for an appearance in the One Show. The blotchy, streaky, effect is due to taking the photo through a slightly dirty window. The church is ALL Souls in Langham Place. London. May 2017.
