I made a B&W version of my previous upload but now I'm not so sure that works as well, I think one of the best things about the slightly refective stainless steel cladding are the subtle colours.

From MAKE Architects website : "Our world-class headquarters for financial services firm UBS have raised the bar for office and workplace design. We worked with developer British Land to design a functional, pragmatic space that allows UBS to consolidate its London workforce for the first time. The result – a 13-storey ‘groundscraper’ – is visually innovative and represents a powerful vote of confidence in the City. Furthermore, it’s become a catalyst for regeneration in the Broadgate area.
We based our bold design on the form of a perfectly machined metal object – a symbol of the building’s internal function. The main facade is primarily constructed from stainless steel, which unifies the surface, establishes a strong presence, and reflects its bespoke nature and single occupier. This sense of robustness is rigorously carried through to the detailing, materiality and finishes, reflecting an architectural language of quality and precision. Inside, an ultra-rational arrangement of the structure and cores provides four large trading floors that can accommodate up to 3,000 desks, plus seven levels of offices."

"Looking at the cathedral as a whole you can say that it is constructed almost wholly of Chilmark Stone, variously a calcareous sandstone or sandy limestone. An estimated 60,000 tons of stone was used, mostly in the period 1220-1260. For the completion of the tower and spire 6,500 tons of Chilmark Stone were added even further. The highest 49m of the spire were clad in 200mm thick stone slabs but in the 1950 rebuild the top 9m of Chilmark were replaced by Clipsham stone from Rutland."

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
Built in 1928-1929, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by Shreve and Lamb to serve as the headquarters of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and was the tallest building in North Carolina when it was completed. The building served as a precedent for the firm's most famous structure, the Empire State Building, which was completed in New York City two years later. The 21-story building stands 314 feet (96 meters) tall, and features ten-story podiums to the north and east, a limestone-clad exterior with dark-painted metal spandrel panels, three-over-three double-hung metal-frame windows, setbacks at the top of the tower, decorative pilasters and carved sculptural reliefs on the spandrels, retail shopfronts at the base with Art Deco metal trim surrounds, and a recessed two-story entrance bay with brass doors and a transom featuring a decorative metal Art Deco screen. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. In 2014-2016, the building was rehabilitated for adaptive reuse as the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, along with an apartment complex in the upper floors known as The Residences @ the R.J. Reynolds Building.

The Atomium
General information
LocationBrussels, Belgium
Completed 1958
Height Antenna spire102 m (335 ft)
Design and construction: Engineer André Waterkeyn
The Atomium is a building in Brussels originally constructed for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak,[1] it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (59 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
Tubes connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose escalators and a lift to allow access to the five habitable spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere provides a panoramic view of Brussels. CNN named it Europe's most bizarre building.

This was a recently-fledged young Whitethroat alighting on a wire. Because of the angle it shows off the white throat particularly well set off against the dusky breast. The name Whitethroat was used in John Ray's Ornithology, the first bird book published in English in 1678 (as opposed to Latin, a version of which was published 2 years earlier in 1676). But it is almost certain that the name had been in common use for at least a hundred years previously. It was Gilbert White who first realised that Lesser Whitethroat was distinct from Whitethroat in 1768. White wrote "A rare and I think new little bird frequents my garden. This bird much resembles the white-throat, but has a more white or rather silvery breast and belly; is restless and active, like the willow wrens, and hops from bough to bough examining every part for food." Whitethroat is a common British migrant warbler with over a million breeding pairs. Its scratchy warble is a familiar sound in Spring but I find them infuriatingly difficult to photograph. It winters in the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa. In the 1960s there was an incredible two and a half million breeding pairs in Britain. Then following a severe drought in the wintering Sahel area in Africa (just south of the Sahara) during the winter of 1968/9, the numbers crashed in Britain the following year, Estimates of the severity vary but they range between a 75% and 90% drop in numbers which remained low until the mid 1980s. The population has steadily risen since then but is still only about 40% of the pre-drought total. The drought may have not been the whole story as the scrub habitat they require for breeding in Britain has also declined as coppiced woodland is abandoned (they abandon coppice once a woodland canopy forms), while hedgerows and scrub were removed at this time as intensification of farming gathered pace.
One final thing; Whitethroat used to be in the genus Sylvia but a study of the mitochondrial DNA of the "Sylvia" warblers showed there were two distinct "clades" or groups within that family of birds (Voelker, G. & Light, J. E. 2011, BMC Evolutionary Biology. 11 163). As a result, most of our Sylvia warblers were transferred into the resurrected genus Curruca, leaving only Blackcap and Garden Warbler (plus 5 non-European species) in Sylvia. So in Britain Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat and Dartford Warbler are all now in the genus Curruca.

Opened on January 2, 1906, the golden dome of the Renaissance Revival style building rises 70 feet into the air. The dome was originally clad in copper, but in 1987 it was gilded in tissue-paper thin sheets of 23-karat gold leaf at a cost of $240,000 - - more than the original cost of the entire building. The original building was designed by Savannah architect Hyman W. Witcover during the administration of Savannah Mayor Herman Myers, and continues to serve as the seat of municipal government to this day.

Yesterday I went to my favoured woodyard to get a price for imported 150mm x 35mm redwood Loglap treated green (tanalised) shed timber cladding. For a 4.2m long piece it was £25.80 (inc VAT). Expensive.
They have brilliant customer service, and the guy behind the counter introduced me to this composite cladding, perfect for a shed.
It comes in slightly cheaper than the Loglap timber… But… it never needs painting or staining. Just power washing annually!
There are 8 colours available… Ivory, Light grey, Teak, Redwood, Stone grey, Olive green, Charcoal, and Coffee.
Current we’re mulling it over, but, we like the Charcoal.

Space Science image of the week:
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the international Cassini–Huygens mission made its final close flyby of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, coming within 1000 km of the atmosphere-clad world.
The image presented here is a raw image sent back to Earth yesterday, taken on Saturday at 18:42 GMT. It is one of many that can be found in the Cassini raw image archive.
The latest flyby used Titan’s gravity to slingshot Cassini into the final phase of its mission, setting it up for a series of 22 weekly ‘Grand Finale’ orbits that will see the spacecraft dive between Saturn’s inner rings and the outer atmosphere of the planet. The first of these ring plane dives occurs on Wednesday.
Cassini will make many additional non-targeted flybys of Titan and other moons in the Saturnian system in the coming months, at much greater distances. Non-targeted flybys require no special manoeuvres, but rather the moon happens to be relatively close to the spacecraft’s path.
A final, distant, flyby of Titan will occur on 11 September, in what has been nicknamed the ‘goodbye kiss,’ because it will direct Cassini on a collision course with Saturn on 15 September. This will conclude the mission in a manner that avoids the possibility of a future crash into the potentially habitable ocean-moon Enceladus, protecting that world for future exploration.
A press conference will be held on 25 April at 13:30 GMT (15:30 CEST), at the European Geosciences Union meeting in Vienna, to preview the Grand Finale, as well as celebrate the scientific highlights of Cassini’s incredible 13-year odyssey at Saturn.
Just today a new result was published in Nature Astronomy finds that when viewed from Cassini's orbit, Titan's nightside likely shines 10-200 times brighter than its dayside. Scientists think that this is caused by efficient forward scattering of sunlight by its extended atmospheric haze, a behaviour unique to Titan in our Solar System.
Cassini–Huygens is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and ASI, the Italian space agency.
