song - "Love For Sale" - Billie Holiday 1952
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp6jvMgLGMQ&list=PL0Mkm0kbkL8...
written by Cole Porter in 1939 for the musical
"The New Yorkers"
When the song came out in 1930, a newspaper labelled
it as "in bad taste", radio stations avoided broadcasting it.
Because of the complaints, Porter shifted the setting
of the song in the musical to the Cotton Club in Harlem,
where it was sung by an African American,
Elisabeth Welch, instead of white singer Kathryn Crawford.
The impressive Broadcasting House, just up from Oxford Circus in Central London, is the headquarters of the BBC. This is a panoramic shot, made from 5 stitched together in Lightroom, which was then cleaned up in PhotoShop, and was shot when it was quiet, at 0130 this morning.
The piazza with the lights and place names embedded in it was designed by Canadian artist and architect Mark Pimlott.

Broadcasting Tower is a university building in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England. It forms part of Leeds Metropolitan University, housing its Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology. Designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley, the Tower is distinctive, with comfortable and contemporary interiors and stylish decor. It is clad in COR-TEN weathering steel, which has given it the rust-like appearance it is known for.
The thing with those viewing platforms in TV towers is that you have a great view but there is no mean to represent it. The simplest obstacle is the window with its reflections. The more complex is the 360 degree panorama that doesn't translate well to representation.

The long, shadowy tip of All Souls Langham Place points through the piazza to the BBCs New Broadcasting House in central London.
I've worked in this building for around 8 years now; it's certainly been surreal continuing to come in during the initial lockdown period and beyond, but I'm glad to still have that routine in my life.
I nipped out for a quick 5 minutes the other morning as it was a rare moment of sun, and also the exact part of the day where the sun was aligned to get the All Soul's shadow down the gap here between BH and Peel Wing ...

Many times I have passed Butser Hill on the A3 London to Portsmouth road and wanted to investigate what is at the top. Now done, and it's this broadcast tower that reaches the Hampshire / West Sussex border.
For many years small local AM radio stations were the primary source of news, information and entertainment for the community. Most operated from sunrise to sunset. Many of these stations have signed off for the final time as their listeners are using more modern forms of communications and rarely listen to local radio broadcasts. As a result of low listenership, those stations cannot attract enough advertisers to pay the bills. Somehow, WEPG-AM in South Pittsburg, Tennessee is still hanging on, but it may not be too many more sunsets before the signoff announcements are made, the national anthem is played, and the transmitter is shut down for the final time.

Turned up the contrast a little for max colour...
