20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the "walkie-talkie", is a commercial skyscraper in the City of London financial district. Construction was completed in spring 2014. The 34-storey building is the sixth-tallest building in the City of London and the 12th tallest in London. In 2015 it was awarded the Carbuncle Cup for the worst new building in the UK in the previous 12 months.

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.

Every day as I stroll through the village, I am met with a sight that challenges the stereotypical image of seniors leisurely spending their days feeding pigeons in the park. Instead, I am greeted by vibrant groups, which include a substantial number of silver-haired adventurers, enthusiastically participating in calisthenics before embarking on Fort Langley Canoe Club's boats. Clad in vivid life vests and equipped with paddles, they head towards their designated vessels. Teams skillfully navigate the channel, their laughter and voices reverberating along the shores. Whether it's raining or shrouded in fog, these individuals redefine the notion of a "silver lining," forging connections and demonstrating that age is merely a number—preferably one you paddle through with style!

Back inside to the 3 rd layer of insulation, wood cladding. I lost count of how many packs we bought. You can see also the wires protruding where the sockets will be. Holes drilled through the vertical batons to join the electrics in a loop from socket to socket then into the fuse box.

Himinglæva is a sculpture made of stainless-steel made by Icelandic sculptor Elín Hansdóttir, unveiled in 2022 outside the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavík. It’s a work of art that is not only meant to be seen, but also heard. An “Aeolian harp,” the sculpture is designed to produce sonic overtones as the wind travels through it—although I didn’t perceive any on the blustery day on which I photographed it.
Although it is known in English as ‘Wind Harp’, its Icelandic name of ‘Himinglæva’ comes from Norse mythology, and means “transparent, shining, and small wave.”
In Norse mythology, sailors who sensed the power of the wind and waves around them assumed that the mythical figure Himinglæva was embodying the water and propelling their vessels across the ocean. Alluding metaphorically to this legend, the harp is designed to attune the viewer to the natural forces around them. The shape is based on a Lissajous figure, representing the shape of light beams reflected through vibrating tuning forks. The sounds it produces change based on the force of the wind travelling through it.
Harpa (Icelandic for Harp) is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The opening concert was held on 4 May 2011. The building features a distinctive colored glass facade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland
It was designed by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The structure consists of a steel framework clad with geometric shaped glass panels of different colours.
Construction started in 2007 but was halted with the start of the financial crisis. The completion of the structure was uncertain until the government decided in 2008 to fully fund the rest of the construction costs for the half-built concert hall. For several years it was the only construction project in existence in Iceland. The building was given its name on the Day of Icelandic Music on 11 December 2009, prior to which it was called Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre (Icelandic: Tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhúsið í Reykjavík). The building is the first purpose-built concert hall in Reykjavík and it was developed in consultation with artistic advisor Vladimir Ashkenazy and international consultant Jasper Parrott of HarrisonParrott.[8] It houses the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the offices of The Icelandic Opera.
In 2013, the building won the European Union's Mies van der Rohe award for contemporary architecture.
The glass façade of the building consists of 714 LED lights, 486 in the eastern part of the building and 228 in the western part. These lights usually display video works designed by Olafur Eliasson, and sometimes other artists

today I've been fitting some new security cladding to the front of the house - the secret of its sucess is that it looks just like regular bricks - no need to alarm the neigbours - just act casual - don't think anyone's spotted it - thought I'd give it a coat of paint so it really blends in - the Zebras haven't noticed anything unusual - thanks for looking - best bigger

on the sun-washed streets of sitges, a stone's throw from the murmuring sea, a colorful character strides by. she's clad in the full regalia of summer—a bathing suit, sunglasses, and the golden buoy of leisure—contrasting the quiet storefront. it's a tale of enduring summer spirits, where the salt-scented air clings to skin and the promise of cool water beckons. the scene is a patchwork of the everyday and the holiday, the mundane and the whimsical. she carries the echo of waves and warmth against the backdrop of a town pulsating with its own unique rhythm, a charming corner where stories and sunlight intersect.
