We have 6 small ceiling mounted spotlights out kitchen set to shine onto the walls to create general soft illumination.
This is the adjustable part of one of those fittings
Looking Up for Macro Mondays
Strictly speaking a confluence is a meeting of rivers/streams, but here I see a meeting of streams of air between closely packed buildings in a crowded London.
I look forward to returning here with my fish-eye lens.
Taken Christmas afternoon on the golf course near my Daughters house in Sheffield. I have to confess my Grandson had taken a similar but better photo 2 weeks earlier with the evening sun lighting up the tops of the trees
Thanks for 10,000 Views...........
Well photographed building, I did this one a while ago.

Florin Court is an art deco residential building situated on the eastern side of Charterhouse Square in Smithfield, London, England EC1M 6E.
Built in 1936 by Guy Morgan and Partners, it features an impressive curved façade, a roof garden and a basement swimming pool. It was probably the earliest of the residential apartment blocks in the Clerkenwell area. The walls have been built in beige bricks, specially made by Williamson Cliff Ltd (Stamford, Lincolnshire) and placed over a steel frame.
Regalian Proprieties refurbished the building in the 1980s, to designs by Hildebrand & Clicker architects, providing the actual interior flats shape and facilities.
It became Whitehaven Mansions, the fictional residence of Hercule Poirot, in the 1990s filming of the TV series based on Agatha Christie's mystery stories.
The building is composed of nine floors and has a total of 120 flats. In the basement are located a swimming pool, a spa, a sauna, a gym, a small library, a wi-fi area, a laundry room and a garage. All spaces are communal and access is free to all residents. There are two lifts.

I was really excited for the chance to spend some time outdoors this weekend. We always do our weekly shopping on Saturdays so this weekend, we stopped downtown to go for a little walk in the late afternoon sun and to possibly grab a hot drink.
I knew the shot that I wanted to get since we only have a limited number of large buildings in our area. I also happened to follow a friend on Instagram who inspired me to go and do my own "looking up" shot. What was funny, is when we made our way to the corner where this building is, there was another group of people toting their cameras around doing the same thing.
I find these types of shots (along with the iPhone perspective shots) to be difficult to compose and execute. Getting things exactly centered can be a bit more tricky than it looks. The more symmetrical your scene is, the more difficult it is to keep completely straight. It isn't until after in post where you find where things may not be as straight as you would like.
I wish there were more sky-scrapers in Regina to get in more experience using different architecture. That being said, you may see some doubles of the same building. I am hoping to go back to this spot for a day when there is some decent cloud cover and stretch some exposures right out.
Samaritan Sky.
Interior of the the newly reopened famous Parisian department store "La Samaritaine" after 16 years of renovation works. It used to be a very popular department store where anything could be found from cheap to expensive household items. Now it became a place dedicated to luxury fashion brands.
One friend says, after 9/11, such relationships hold only one meaning. Another says, the building's like a honeycomb and the plane is a bee returning home...
As for me, I had no idea. What really struck me was I felt strangely blue that day; just like how I'm feeling almost everyday today.
