Looking up at this Toulouse apartment building, I captured the mesmerizing geometry of its modernist architecture. The pink-washed facade, characteristic of the 'Ville Rose', creates a striking contrast with the blue sky, while the repetitive pattern of balconies and windows generates a dizzying perspective that challenges our spatial perception.
The sleek, curving corridor of the London Underground’s Jubilee Line at London Bridge Station captures both the elegance and efficiency of Britain’s famed transit system. This photograph highlights the station’s futuristic tunnel design, where steel ribs and gradient blue paneling arch overhead like a spaceship interior. The perspective leads the viewer’s eye forward, toward the distant glow of the next connection and the promise of movement beneath the city’s surface.
London Bridge Station is one of the oldest and busiest transport hubs in London, serving not only the Jubilee Line, but also the Northern Line and multiple National Rail services. Opened in 1836 and rebuilt several times since, the station has evolved into a modernized gateway connecting southeast London to the city’s heart. The Jubilee Line itself is one of the youngest in the Tube system, known for its accessibility, modern design, and architectural drama.
In this image, the symmetry and lighting create an almost cinematic feel. Harsh fluorescent tubes run cleanly along the ceiling, casting their glow onto alternating metal grates and signage. The green emergency exit sign and blue directional placard mark the utilitarian function of the tunnel, while also adding subtle visual punctuation to an otherwise tightly disciplined space. The walls are marked with “London Bridge” repeating across the curved panels—a visual rhythm that reinforces the location and adds texture to the shot.
The absence of people in this photo lends a sense of quiet anticipation. It’s a rare moment of stillness in one of the world’s busiest metro systems. The tunnel becomes a character itself—calm, sturdy, waiting. For photographers, this type of image represents a celebration of urban minimalism: clean lines, practical beauty, and infrastructure that hums with human purpose, even when humans are temporarily absent.
The Jubilee Line is also one of the most accessible lines on the Underground, and London Bridge Station underwent significant renovations to improve step-free access, clear signage, and better wayfinding. These improvements reflect the broader push across the Transport for London (TfL) system toward more inclusive, modern infrastructure.
For travelers, this image evokes memories of navigating the Tube—watching the blinking signs, rushing through corridors like this to make a connection, or standing still to admire how impressively the system is built. For locals, it may feel like a moment of calm in the daily commute. For architecture and design fans, it’s a testament to form following function, where even public transportation tunnels can possess a quiet, industrial beauty.

I've been experimenting with patterns and tiles lately and have a couple of designs that I'm happy with. The idea started with wanting to find a city and working with the side of a building. I needed some new lines and decided to travel into New York and see what I could find, I wasn't disappointed and managed out a couple of shots that I'll be posting. Some are just me having fun with Protoshop, some are fairly straight. The concept for this is actually pretty simple in that you start with one tile and add until you have four, flatten and that becomes the new tile and you add another three, flatten and repeat. This image is 8x8 tiles and you can get some interesting results! My idea of fun and takes me back to my Vasarely study days.
As 2011 comes to a close, I'd like to thank all my Flickr friends, contacts and everyone else that takes to time to ponder my craziness and perhaps toss a comment and/or fave my way! As my first year on Flickr winds down, I can't believe what an experience it's been trading comments with some of the best photographers-artists that I've seen! I truly enjoy looking at all the fantastic photographic work from the widest of styles/genres and value all the friendships that have started this year. My hope and wish for the New Year is that all the friendships continue to grow in 2012. THANK YOU ALL and Happy New Year.
Sliders Sunday is still on I hope??? :)
Working with the clean architectural elements, I composed this frame to emphasize the dynamic flow of parallel lines. The diagonal arrangement creates a sense of movement, while the contrast between light and dark surfaces adds depth to the geometric pattern.

Mísula decorativa localizada no Claustro Pequeno do Convento da Madre de Deus, atualmente integrado no Museu Nacional do Azulejo, em Lisboa. Este elemento arquitetónico, esculpido em pedra, evidencia a influência do estilo manuelino, característico do início do século XVI em Portugal, reconhecível pelos motivos vegetalistas e naturalistas, como folhas entrelaçadas, que remetem à exaltação da natureza e à riqueza simbólica da época. A mísula serve de suporte estrutural e decorativo, integrando-se harmoniosamente na abóbada de nervuras e dialogando com o revestimento de azulejos policromados do pavimento, típico da azulejaria portuguesa. O Claustro Pequeno constitui o núcleo mais antigo do convento, fundado em 1509 por D. Leonor, rainha de Portugal, e reflete a transição entre o gótico tardio e o renascimento, testemunhando a importância do convento enquanto espaço religioso e artístico. A preservação destes detalhes permite compreender a evolução da arte e arquitetura conventual em Portugal.
Decorative corbel located in the Small Cloister of the Convent of Madre de Deus, currently part of the National Tile Museum in Lisbon. This architectural element, carved in stone, shows the influence of the Manueline style, characteristic of the early 16th century in Portugal, recognizable by its plant and naturalistic motifs, such as intertwined leaves, which refer to the exaltation of nature and the symbolic richness of the period. The corbel serves as a structural and decorative support, blending harmoniously into the ribbed vault and dialoguing with the polychrome tile covering of the floor, typical of Portuguese tile work. The Small Cloister is the oldest part of the convent, founded in 1509 by D. Leonor, Queen of Portugal, and reflects the transition between the late Gothic and Renaissance periods, testifying to the importance of the convent as a religious and artistic space. The preservation of these details allows us to understand the evolution of convent art and architecture in Portugal.
O Forte da Graça, ou Forte de Lippe, em Elvas, ergue-se como um exemplar da arquitetura militar setecentista, construído entre 1763 e 1792 sob a direção do Conde de Lippe. A fortificação abaluartada, com planta estrelada, integra o sistema defensivo da raia e foi modernizada sob a égide pombalina. No interior do reduto central, o átrio da Casa do Governador destaca-se pelo pavimento de mármore regional com padrões geométricos, iluminado por um óculo zenital. As paredes apresentam inscrições e representações de âncoras que funcionavam como propaganda nacionalista em 1930, exaltando a soberania ultramarina e a vocação marítima de Portugal num espaço de reclusão. O conjunto, que articula robustez militar e elementos neoclássicos, reflete a engenharia militar e a história de Portugal, fazendo parte da classificação UNESCO "Cidade Fronteiriça e Fortificações de Elvas".
The Forte da Graça, or Forte de Lippe, in Elvas, stands as an example of 18th-century military architecture, built between 1763 and 1792 under the direction of the Count of Lippe. The star-shaped bastioned fortification is part of the defensive system of the border and was modernized under the Pombaline regime. Inside the central stronghold, the atrium of the Governor's House stands out for its regional marble floor with geometric patterns, illuminated by a zenithal oculus. The walls feature inscriptions and representations of anchors that served as nationalist propaganda in 1930, extolling Portugal's overseas sovereignty and maritime vocation in a space of seclusion. The complex, which combines military robustness and neoclassical elements, reflects Portugal's military engineering and history, forming part of the UNESCO classification “Border Town and Fortifications of Elvas.”
Although not the most valuable object that I own, this is one of my most precious pieces. This is my Great Grandmother’s small Anglo-Indian jewellery box, which she brought back from India after she and my Grandfather finished a period in the diplomatic corps during the Raj just before the Great War. It is precious to me because it holds some of the most tangible memories I have of my Great Grandmother and my Grandmother. This sat on my Great Grandmother’s dressing table and housed some of her everyday jewellery. I remember visiting her and watching her take out her pearls and cameos and glittering rings when she was getting ready to receive visitors or to go out. Even when I hold it now or hear the rich sounds of the box lid as it closes, in my mind I can still smell her violet and lily of the valley perfumes and her cold cream. When she died, my Grandmother inherited it and it sat on her dressing table, and I can hear her laugh as I played with the pearl necklaces, earrings and rings that she kept in there, including the Regency ebony and ivory earrings I called “Flora” and “Fauna”. The yellowing of the ivory is a sign of its advanced age, and its edges have been worn by many hands touching them over the last century: not least of all mine.
The jewellery box itself is an Anglo-Indian (Indian made but designed for the British market who lived in India during the Raj) made in the 1890s. It is fashioned from ebony and rosewood with the most exquisite hand-made geometric marquetry inlay of ivory and mother of pearl. The detail photos show how intricate the geometric pattern is, and how perfectly each piece is fitted. This might impress you even more when you think that the box itself is ten and a half centimetres long, by six and half centimetres wide and four and a half centimetres deep. The ebony frames to the hexagons on the lid are one millimetre thick, the vertical rosewood bands on the ivory edge of the lid are half a millimetre in width, the smallest triangles on the sides each have sides of one millimetre in length and the triangles around the flowers on the lid have sides less than half a millimetre in length: and all of this was made with precision by hand by a master artisan more than a century ago.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “geometry” was chosen by GG, Greenstone Girl.
Geometry is the part of mathematics that studies the size, shapes, positions and dimensions of things. Squares, circles and triangles are some of the simplest shapes in flat geometry. Cubes, cylinders, cones and spheres are simple shapes in solid geometry.
Marquetry is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures.
As the oldest part of Lisbon (and the only neighbourhood still intact after the destruction of the 1755 earthquake), Alfama has the strongest roots in Portuguese culture and heritage.
Its winding streets act as a giant mosaic, pin-pricked with colorful tiles (called "Azulejo" - painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework) that paint a larger picture of the city. Houses are dressed up in geometric patterns, whilst intimate workshops prove the craft is still going strong.
The high still-point of the light maze is found in the central room. As we look up we are faced with a gorgeous mandala, reminiscent of the exquisite geometric patterns found in Islamic mosques.
Given the subject matter of H.P. Lovecraft's late collection of stories, "Necronomicon" seems like a reasonable title. If you're not familiar with Lovecraft's work, look him up. You find hours of entertaining reading there.

One of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil is their vibrant colour.
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
This is a huge construction crane reflecting off of a building in downtown Baton Rouge. There seems to be a LOT of construction going on there.
at the palma de mallorca airport, time feels like a dance of fleeting moments. the polished floor reflects the soft chaos of movement — a man walking past, the still alignment of luggage carts waiting for their next task. shadows and light play out a silent rhythm, like a traveler’s pulse quickening with anticipation. there is a subtle elegance in the mundane, a quiet poetry in the way the world moves when no one notices. this is the heartbeat of transition, caught in monochrome simplicity.
Against a perfect blue sky, I composed this study of a modernist apartment building in Toulouse. The repetitive pattern of windows and balconies creates a geometric grid, while the vibrant turquoise adds a distinctly Mediterranean feel to the urban landscape.
Built by the Public Works Department for a princely £7,000.00, the Mount Buffalo Chalet was opened in 1910 by the Victorian State Government as Australia’s first ski lodge, and it quickly became a popular destination within the alpine region. Initially leased to private enterprise as a guest house, The Chalet was taken over by Victorian Railways in October 1924. Described as the “last word in luxury”, The Chalet featured large sitting rooms, ample fireplaces, a smoking room, well ventilated rooms of capacious size and hot and cold baths. They offered holiday packages with train services running to Porpunkah railway station and then a connecting Hoys Roadlines service. It was a very popular destination for newlyweds as the perfect place for a honeymoon, and over the years traditions began to emerge such as an elegant dress code within The Chalet, a dinner gong to announce dinner, costume parties and grand balls in The Chalet’s ballroom.
Originally intended to be built in granite, cost blowouts of £3,000.00 meant that instead The Chalet was built of timber. To this day, it is still the largest timber construction in Victoria. It was designed in the fashionable Arts and Crafts style of the period. Reminiscent in style to northern European Chalet architecture, the Mt Buffalo Chalet is built on a coursed random rubble plinth, with a series of hipped and gabled corrugated iron roofs. Originally designed as a symmetrical, gabled roof building, early additions were carried out in a similar style and continued the symmetry of the front facade. The second storey addition to the central wing altered the appearance of the building, however the bungalow character was retained. Slender rough cast render chimneys with tapering tops and random coursed rubble bases, a decorative barge board over the main entry, decorative timber brackets supporting timber shingled gable ends, exposed rafters and double hung, paned windows are all typical architectural details of the Arts and Crafts Movement. It was constructed over a thirty year period during which time extensions, extra wings and outbuildings were added and removed with the changing times and its tourism demands. Improvements were made soon after construction and these included a golf links in 1911, a north wing addition in 1912 and a south wing and billiard room in 1914. Heating and lighting in The Chalet was improved and upgraded in 1919. Between 1921 and 1922, an addition to the south wing increased bedroom and bathroom facilities. The billiard room was moved to the front of the house and the terraced garden, with rubble granite retaining walls, was laid out at the front of The Chalet. The present dining room, the kitchen and billiard room wings were constructed in 1925, and the original dining room was converted to a ballroom, with a stage. Balustrading along the front of the building was removed and large windows inserted to provide uninterrupted views. Between 1937 and 1938 major alterations were made with the extension of the south wing and a second storey added to the central wing of the building. At this time the provisions for two hundred guests at The Chalet was noted as more than equalling the best Melbourne hotels. Internally, some remnants of decoration remain, reflecting various stages of The Chalet’s development, and these can be viewed through The Chalet’s large windows, where several suites, the lounge and the dining room are all set up to display what the accommodation was like. The formal terraced gardens built around the Mount Buffalo Chalet were seen as a civilising image within the context of the wild and relatively harsh Australian landscape. The key built features if the gardens seen today remain intact. The garden’s shape and form remain largely unchanged from when they were created including the stonewalling, terracing, central set of stairs and exposed bedrock.
The Mount Buffalo Chalet is lovingly sometimes referred to as the “Grand Old Lady”. If nothing else, she is a unique survivor of the earliest days of recreational skiing in Australia. It was included on the Victorian Heritage Register in 1992 and is maintained today as a time capsule to show what life was like when tourism was done on a grand scale.

One of the things I love about my inner city neighbourhood is the fact that we have a wonderful diversity in beautiful architectural style of housing. Although housing from the mid 1800s exists in my area, over time it became more suburbanised, particularly with the arrival of the train and tram routes around the turn of the Twentieth Century, and then the extension of these as the Metroland of the 1920s and 30s sprung up. There are many streets that have heritage overlays on them. Therefore, there are some wonderful Art Deco style villas from the 1920s and 1930s that still have their original fences and gates.

This week the theme, “geometry” was chosen by GG, Greenstone Girl.
This low Art Deco brick wall with its triangular pinnacle and decorative brick panels and this cast iron gate with its geometric pattern seemed like perfect choices for the theme.
Art Deco is a European style that celebrated the exciting and dynamic aspects of the machine age. It was all about sleekness, sharp lines, and vivid decorative elements like fins, fans, speed lines, portal windows and low relief sculpture. There was also a drive towards the clean lines of geometry in design.
Geometry is the part of mathematics that studies the size, shapes, positions and dimensions of things. Squares, circles and triangles are some of the simplest shapes in flat geometry. Cubes, cylinders, cones and spheres are simple shapes in solid geometry.
Lisbon’s Santa Justa Lift isn’t just a way to get from A to B—it’s a masterpiece of ironwork and history. Built in 1902, this neo-Gothic beauty connects downtown Baixa to the higher streets of Bairro Alto, offering stunning city views at the top. Inspired by Eiffel’s engineering, it’s one of Lisbon’s most iconic structures.
While exploring nearby, I focused on the interplay of shadows, lines, and shapes rather than the landmark itself. The harsh light, corrugated textures, and the lone passerby gave this scene an almost cinematic feel—minimal yet full of movement.

In a wall between two shops along a public sidewalk, this is all I get of the garden behind it. I am intrigued. This is only blocks from my house so I walk by frequently. I was stimulated to revisit this place at various times of day by a challenge from my local photography group (Central Coast Photo Society) that included "windows to the world."
captured within the captivating architecture of the oculus, part of the world trade center complex, this image showcases the vast, open space and unique structural design that defines this iconic transportation hub. the repetition of lines and curves draws the eye into the distance, where a solitary figure walks, adding a human element to the grandeur of the space. the high-contrast black and white composition emphasizes the geometric patterns and creates a dramatic, timeless feel. this photograph captures a moment of quiet amidst the flow of daily commuters, highlighting the blend of art and functionality in modern urban architecture.

This image looks at some attractive geometric detail on the front of a half-timbered cottage on Queen Mary's Drive, Port Sunlight. Each of Nos 16-22 was a four-bedroom residence. This detail on No. 22 is part of a bracket-supported double-jettied gable. The rather cobwebbed pegs visible on the black-painted wooden frames are part of the construction process. The buildings face the Lady Lever Art Gallery.
Designed by James Lomax-Simpson in 1912, and built the following year, it is one of the Domestic Revival (or Old English) designs found throughout the village for which he is best known. Educated at Liverpool University and the son of a friend of of William Lever, he became the head of Lever Brothers architecture department in 1910 and designed several buildings in Port Sunlight including the Bandstand (now demolished), the Residents' Club, the south wing of Lever House, the Duke of York Cottages and houses in Jubilee Crescent, King George's Drive and Windy Bank as well as those in Queen Mary's Drive.
He also designed factories built overseas for Lever Brothers and Unilever House in London (Unilever was created in 1929 when Lever Brothers merged with the Dutch company Margarine Union).
