The original terminal station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the first terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp railway. The stone-clad building was designed by Louis Delacenserie. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. A plaque on the north wall bears the name Middenstatie, an expression now antiquated in Dutch.
The station is widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium.
… this bronze character is left on his own more often than not in these lockdown times at St Pancras International.
I had a medical appointment yesterday in a part of the city I don't normally go to, so brought my camera. Doesn't everyone bring their cameras to appointments? :) I don't remember the last time I was in this mall, but found it very interesting with all the layers, colours, glass and reflections. I tried it in black and white as well, but I liked the purple and the wood, so kept it in colour.
Happy Friday!
This is the Telus Garden building in downtown Vancouver.
Kind of hard to explain when you can't see the entire building, but here I shot through a glass wall. Through it, you can see reflections and the glass curved ceiling (with patterns on the glass) and wooden ribs.
This office tower features 14,000 sq. ft. of green roofs, growing organic produce for local restaurants.
If you're curious about the building, here is some info on it, along with drawings of the building: henriquezpartners.com/projects/telus-garden/

I've emphasized the verticals and made golden light to reflect how it felt in that grand lobby surrounded by wonderful art via every passage.
The building now housing K21, the museum of contemporary art in Düsseldorf , was once the seat of government for the Rhine province of Prussia, prior to becoming the Parliament of North Rhine Westphalia in 1946.
German History Museum. Berlin, Germany.
Architect, I. M. Pei designed the Exhibition Hall Addition for the Deutsches Historisches Museum. Pei, also architect of the Louvre and many other famous buildings, passed away last year in Manhattan on May 16, 2019. The New York Times headline read “I. M. Pei, Master Architect Whose Buildings Dazzled the World, Dies at 102.”

… the main hall in St Pancras feels empty, almost soulless in lockdown, but the purity of its architecture stands out even more.
Explored #34 on March 7th 2021.
I took this looking through the glass doors and up through the glass roof of the Telus Gardens building downtown Vancouver. I mirrored the image, making it look like, to me anyway, rockets in a cathedral, hence the title. Or perhaps that's just my overactive imagination :)

"One Vanderbilt" aka "The Summit" is a 73-story supertall skyscraper at the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox for developer SL Green Realty, the skyscraper opened in 2020. Its roof is 1,301 feet (397 m) high and its spire is 1,401 feet (427 m) above ground, making it the city's fourth-tallest building after One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 West 57th Street.
A highlight of our visit to Berlin, Germany. (No pun intended 😊)
7DWF Thursday Theme: Black and White or Sepia
Natural daylight shines in every room of the museum. To temper that light, Berlage installs an ultra-modern velum construction: a suspended glass ceiling, through which daylight flows moderately into the room and creates an intimate atmosphere. For the same reason, the rooms on the ground floor receive daylight through windows at the top of the walls.

For Sliders Sunday today, I went back to another in-camera double exposure of the David Attenborough building in Cambridge (or at least that is what I think of it as - it’s behind that complex of buildings).
So, this is the same building as the previous shot, created using the same method, but using Darken blend mode in the camera instead of Lighten. This keeps all the darker pixels from both images in the double exposure.
I’ll post a link to one of the two contributing captures in a comment so you can see how it’s put together. The angle of the shot is different to the last Sliders one that I posted.
I then had a bit of fun with Nik Color Efex to mangle the textures and colours, but nothing too severe, really.
Thanks for all the comments for the last one from those who know me. Real life is getting in the way of online social again just now - apologies.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
she walked through the passage the way people walk through churches — without looking up. the glass ceiling arched above her in panels of light, the mosaic floor unrolled beneath her feet in patterns older than anyone who walked on them. the shops on either side offered fifty percent off. she wasn’t buying. she was just passing through, the way everyone passes through, and the architecture watched her go with the patience of something that had seen a million people do exactly the same thing.
