From Wikipedia:
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and is located in London, England. It is commonly called the Houses of Parliament after the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two legislative chambers which occupy the building. The palace has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The site of the current palace may have been used by Cnut during his reign from 1016 to 1035, and from c. 1045 – c. 1050 Edward the Confessor built a palace and the first Westminster Abbey. The oldest surviving part of the palace is Westminster Hall, which dates from the reign of William II (r. 1087–1100).
The building was originally constructed in the eleventh century as a royal palace and was the primary residence of the kings of England until 1512, when a fire destroyed the royal apartments. The monarch moved to the adjacent Palace of Whitehall, but the remainder of the palace continued to serve as the home of the Parliament of England, which had met there since the 13th century. In 1834 a second, larger fire destroyed the majority of the palace, but Westminster Hall was saved and incorporated into the replacement building.
The competition to design the new palace was won by the architect Charles Barry, who chose a Gothic Revival style for the building. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for 30 years, suffering delays, cost overruns, and the deaths of Barry and his assistant, Augustus Pugin. The palace contains chambers for the House of Commons, House of Lords, and the monarch, and has a floor area of 112,476 m2 (1,210,680 sq ft). Extensive repairs had to be made after the Second World War, including rebuilding the destroyed Commons chamber. Despite further conservation work having been carried out since, the palace is in urgent need of major repairs.
From www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200312-why-is-the-palace-of-...:
In 2012, the Houses of Commons and Lords commissioned a study on the condition of the palace, which indicated the need for major restoration work. The current sewage system was installed in 1888; there are more than 1,000 areas that contain asbestos; the chambers are not wheelchair accessible; and even rodents populate the place. Part of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems were installed after World War Two and should have been replaced in the 1980s but were not. Over the years, steam, gas and water services were built on top of each other and next to high-voltage electrical wires. And about 321km of telephone, broadcasting and sound wires need to be upgraded.
The Anston limestone used in the original construction, which was cheap and ideal for carving, began to quickly decay in the 19th Century and was only partially restored in the 1980s and ‘90s. On top of all of that, Barry and Pugin used combustible materials to decorate the palace’s interiors.

Garden of The Gods with Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs
“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.”
- George Washington Carver
Garden of the Gods State Park attracts more than two million visitors a year, which is not surprising considering its incredible beauty and unique landscapes. Popular for hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking and horseback riding, it’s a wonder that the area has not been elevated to be a full National Park. Just west of Colorado Springs, home of the US Air Force Academy, it is free and can get very busy during peak hours. And the park is absolutely worth the trip to see it.
The striking red rock formations which rise hundreds of feet into the sky were created during a geological upheaval along a natural fault line millions of years ago. The largest outcroppings you see here are sedimentary layers that have been pushed up vertically and are composed primarily of Lyons Formation, a stone made of fine sand from ancient sand dunes. While they seem deep from this angle here, they are actually relatively shallow formations and look like fins when viewed from the north or south. North Gateway Rock is on the right and rises 320 feet (98 m) above the valley floor. In the middle is the South Gateway Rock, with Kindergarten Rock (AKA Gray Rock) on the left.
Just above North Gateway Rock in the distance is famous Pikes Peak, standing tall at 14,115 feet (4,302 m). The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike, though he was unable to reach the summit in 1806 due to snow and lack of provisions at the time. The peak has a storied history, but it is famous worldwide for the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a rally car race held since 1916 that features over 150 turns, many of which are hazardous.
The shot: I really wanted to get those beautiful clouds in motion, so I used Lee Filters’ Big Stopper to get 25 seconds of exposure. It was late morning however and in retrospect it probably was not a wise choice. It caused some serious post processing issues which needed the help of my wonderful friend Rui Baptista to save the shot. Thank you again Rui, lesson learned.

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.

Public Broadcasting System's Halifax: Retribution: S1 - Episode 8
I watched this last night on Channel 6 - Arizona Public Media.
The narrator said words to the effect that: Life is like a recipe with bitter and sweet, and that's what makes it delicious.

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 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.[

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 ! =)
I thought that I imagined the state that a picture of TV flew here steadily such from far away that I would be glad if I was TV.
On December 1, 2012 in Civic Center, Bunkyo ward .
The new building on the site of the old Egton House. It's not as big as I thought it was going to be... I thought it was supposed to be a big, full-size mirror of the old building.
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.

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.

Took a run over to Leeds today for an event on the opening of a building, across the road is a building that I did the concept and scheme design for before moving onto another project. This is an part shot of the teaching space for Leeds Met University which is in the process of being clad.
This shows some of the newer Cor-Ten panels which have yet to weather in in contrast to some of those that have already weathered in and got their rusty colour.

This pirate-broadcasting-tower-turned-restaurant played a rebellious role in the history of Dutch television.
The restaurant known as REM Eiland wasn’t always an architectural oddity in the Amsterdam port of Houthaven. The 80-foot-tall, red-and-white tower was originally a pirate radio and TV station in the North Sea, and it gave Dutch viewers their first taste of commercial television.
It was 1964, and up to that point, there’d only been state-sponsored television. From the tower, a channel called TV Noordzee broadcast shows such as Zorro, Rin-Tin-Tin, and Mr. Ed, along with commercials. While viewers were entertained, the government was not: The tower’s location in international waters allowed TV Noordzee to circumvent Dutch laws. But this rebellion was short-lived: Four months after TV Noordzee launched, the government found a way to use the 1958 Geneva Convention to justify restructuring offshore territorial boundaries. And with that, REM Eiland fell under Dutch control. On December 17, 1964, marines raided the tower and shut down operations.
The government used the tower as a site for measuring ocean temperatures and salt levels before dismantling it and bringing it ashore in 2006. But just when REM Eiland seemed like it might disappear for good, new owners purchased it and started renovations (including adding another floor and losing the helipad) to turn it into the restaurant it is today.
