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.
My first zine with 20 photos from South Korea is out now: 20 Days in South Korea. You can order it HERE or mail me if you are interested in a signed copy directly from me.
A pretty grey ole day today. I took a quick nose around the brookmans park transmitting station in Hertfordshire, one of the pioneering transmitter sites in broadcasting history being the first station able to broadcast two programmes simultaneously. This is one of two giant T antennas which once broadcast BBC Radio 1, 2 and 3 to the south of England and Wales on and is used for talksport, BBC 5 live, absolute radio and Sunrise radio on AM.

I've snapped the BT Tower before from the vantage point of the 7th floor staircase at the back of New Broadcasting House. But not for a while! And I think this is the first time I've managed to get a photo through the thick window without any annoying reflections visible.
I like the fact that you can see almost the entire structure from here; most of the other viewpoints from around the city centre tend to obscure most of the base.
Also nice to see a sky that isn't pure white for a change. Hopefully some gentle scattered clouds will start appearing and making all us London photographers happy again.
This was a nice subtle use of Photoshop's 'content aware fill' feature, as my original framing didn't have quite enough headroom above the tower ...

My husband at around age 3 taking spring planting lessons from his grandfather in CT where they lived in 1956. Of course you had to wear a hat, so Rob has his "Hop Along Cassidy" hat on!
Shot at the abandoned radio station Propaganda Bullhorn. Buildt during world war 2 its main purpose was broadcasting the national socialists' propaganda. Most of the techincal equipment is still in place, including a huge diesel engine which was supposed to provide electricity in case of a blackout.

A rare inside shot from my offices in central London.
This us from the ground floor level overlooking the rather sizeable newsroom, apparently the largest in Europe.
I have plans to retake this shot from the basement level with my widest-angle lens in order to better encapsulate the scale of the room, but this is my pocket camera version for now.
Belfast City Centre
BBC Broadcasting House is located in the centre of Belfast on the north side of Ormeau Avenue at the junction with Bedford Street. It was built in 1939 to the designs of James Millar in Art-Deco style.
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.
I found one of the antenna responsible for broadcasting northern lights all over Iceland... Now I know how they do... :-)

"Designed by Sterling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley, Broadcasting Tower is a new development in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, immediately adjacent to Leeds met and close to The University of Leeds and other academic institutions."
The tower provides student accommodation....with standard issue curtains...
I like the way the building changes colour in different lights...
Turned up the contrast a little for max colour...
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May.
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.
Well now - that's more like it! My favourite little pond has finally woken up. One week later and there were countless Large Reds, Blue-tails, a Downy Emerald and 7 male Broad-bodied Chasers battling for territory. Things got even more exciting with the presence of females, 3 in total. engaged in mating and immediately ovipositing.
However it was the arrival of this sweet lady who caught my attention. Nicely, and all to briefly, perched on a gorse bush after flying in from who knows where. Only had chance to use the long lens, but I think it did rather well.
After a brief visit there just after lunch time, I picked up Sue from work and took her for a little picnic at the pond. OK, so I had another motive, but she enjoyed the chance to marvel at the best display the New Forest has shown so far this year.
Certainly beats going home....

Built in 1958 the 333m-tall Tokyo Tower serves as the main broadcasting tower in Tokyo. It will retire in 2012 when Tokyo Sky Tree, a new communications tower, will be completed and taking over the broadcasting functions.

This little drop of water (1mm diameter) is on the tip of a .5 cm moss sprout.
Supermacro reversed 50mm technique employed here. Very small. Very shallow depth of field results in the large blurry moss seeds in the background. In reality, they are just a few mm away. Microworld!
A non typical view of the BBC Broadcasting House in London, with the 'All Souls Langham Place' church centrally in front. A great mixture of architectural styles.

ABS-CBN BROADCAST CENTER
This iconic building is situated in Bohol Avenue (now Sgt. Esguerra Avenue), Diliman, Quezon City. Designed by Architect Carlos Arguelles, the Broadcast Center was finally commenced in December 1968, and at that time, this was one of the ultra-modern television facilities in Asia, second to the NHK Headquarters in Japan. In 1972, the building was seized by the government after the declaration of martial law. KBS-9 (now RPN-9) and PTV-4 were the occupants of the Broadcast Center during the Marcos and Aquino Regime. After EDSA Revolution, the Lopezes was able to occupy some of the space in the area while PTV was the main occupant (until 1992), and after the transfer of PTV facilities in 1992 (and the resurgence of ABS-CBN as main television leader), the Lopezes were able to fix the building, and upgrade its equipment for broadcasting.
