Under the shady roof
Of branching Elm Star-proof,
Follow me,
I will bring you where she sits
Clad in splendor as befits
Her deity.
Such a rural Queen
All Arcadia hath not seen.

Zehn Lampen an der Fassade vom Casino in Baden-Baden.
Ten lamps at the cladding of the Casino Baden-Baden.
Detail from a large drum-shaped building on the waterfront in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. The geometric basalt columns that are a common feature of Icelandic geology have been sliced and affixed to the exterior, with attention to spacing so that whole columns frame all openings. The effect is quite striking - one could easily picture a whole town built this way - but the earthquake-conscious Californian in me worries a lot about how the stone is attached.

There's a strange cylindrical office building right next to the number "5" on the front of the UBS building Broadgate Circus. It's always looked a bit out of place, especially after all the redevelopment in the area, so someone has decided to clad it in golden rectangles, and to be fair it looks pretty good!
It's a tricky one to shoot - where you've got room to maneuver you'll find there are two large windows in the way that spoil the look a bit. To get a shot without them you need to go down the side of the building, but it's right next to another so you don't have a lot of room to get it in frame. I took this at 35mm, but wish I'd had something a bit wider.
I have a strong artistic bias toward doing things I haven't done before, and a stronger ones to trying things I've never even seen before.
I'd love to see someone guess the lighting on this one. UPDATE: Solution is here

While taking in views at the Morant’s Curve overlook along the Bow Valley Parkway. The view is looking to the southwest to Mount Temple another other peaks and ridges of the Bow Range. This is in Banff National Park.
The Nature is the most beautiful dress.
I needed to lie down prone on the snow for shooting this shot. Of course I did ! The snow was over 15cm deep and so soft. I remembered my childhood and got excited. It was so fun !!

A 'flipped' shot of the Atomium in Brussels.
I remember seeing this iconic structure whilst on a coach tour of Europe when I was 13 years old. At that time we only got to see it from the outside so when I visited this time I was keen to explore the inside.

From Wikipedia : "The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels (Belgium), originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It is located on the Heysel Plateau, where the exhibition took place. It is now a museum.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected, so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an α-iron (ferrite) crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes of 3 m (10 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels."

One reason why the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the most photographed buildings in the world is undoubtedly the facade, which is made from exactly 42,875 titanium panels. This is a re-edited version from a trip in 2019 with some more drama.
Two young women taking turns snapping shots of eachother at Heian Jingu, a beautiful shrine in Kyoto.
The vast majority of people we saw in Japan wore modern "western" clothing, but we saw women in kimono walking down the street or on the train more often than I expected. Typically they were carrying cell phones, shopping bags and umbrellas and just generally going about normal daily life.
Whispered Elegance, Untamed Desire
by small fashion
Draped in a wisp of satin and lace, I am the very embodiment of temptation—coquettish yet commanding, like the lingerie-clad sirens of the Belle Époque, who knew that the art of seduction lay in the delicate balance of what is revealed and what remains a mystery.
This nuisette lace mini caresses my skin with the weightless luxury of a 1920s flapper’s silk slip, yet clings to my curves like a whispered promise, reminiscent of the scandalous 18th-century chemise à la reine, which dared to liberate the female form. The delicate lace tracing the neckline—so reminiscent of Madame de Pompadour’s boudoir indulgences—flirts with the possibility of being undone, of slipping off my shoulders with a lover’s touch.
But this is more than just a vintage reverie—it is the future of sensuality. Crafted in original mesh, this piece sculpts itself to my body like a second skin, ensuring a flawless fit across a variety of shapes and forms. The fully functional HUD puts complete customization at my fingertips, allowing me to slip into a palette of desire—from sultry reds and deep blacks to soft blushes and cool pastels.
The added choice between Blinn Phong for a matte, understated elegance and PBR shine for a luminous, light-catching effect gives me the power to shift between soft seduction and bold, high-gloss allure.
This nuisette is meticulously designed to embrace the most exquisite mesh bodies, including:
Larax
PetiteX
Legacy
Perky
Bombshell

Every delicate curve, every languid stretch is enhanced, never constrained. The fabric moves with me, just as the most skilled maîtres couturiers once tailored Parisian gowns to the bodies of their muses. Whether lounging in decadent repose or slipping into the night with an air of untouchable mystery, this piece ensures I am the very essence of romance and desire.
And as I stretch out, wrapped in satin and lace, my kitten’s presence is undeniable—soft, eager, and demanding attention. It longs to be stroked, adored, utterly worshipped. Will you be the one to tame it… or will you let it play?
Tonight, I wear small’s nuisette—and with every step, every glance, I write a new chapter in the history of desire.
What will you do when I let the lace slip just a little more?

A few years ago, Cambridge City Council was criticized in the press over the poor quality of its ageing public toilets. The council responded by commissioning architect Freeland Rees Roberts to design some stylish new toilet blocks for Cambridge's parks and public spaces. The first was built in a corner of Parker's Piece in 2004. And this, the second one, was built on Midsummer Common in 2005.
The unusually shaped copper roof was designed by the architects to complement shape and colour of neighbouring avenue of Horse Chestnut trees than run along Victoria Avenue.

There's been colourful cladding in place alongside the one of Luxembourg's Route de Wasserbillig bridges, installed to mask the exterior of some long term renovation works.
Whilst the jury's out on which of the two eyesores is the least ugly (!), I was pleased to capture the shot I'd imagined of the Black-Headed Gull's light plumage against the colorful scene. With the cladding off in the background, the presence of the dull underside of bridge helped pick out the otherwise ordinary white quite well.
