Eastside, Birmingham. Houses the science museum, an IMAX cinema and Birmingham City University's Technology Innovation Centre, amongst other things.
The Millenium Bridge in Newcastle, taken with a B+W ND1000 filter which reduces light by 1000 times, allowing for ultra long exposures in daytime.
Interesting materials used to construct the Millenium Centre, Copper, Wood and Slate. The shiney copper tiles are actually copper coloured stainless steel, because the architech, Jonathan Adams, didn't want to use real copper as this would weather and change colour

Built in 1932 by the Royal Victoria Dock in East London, Spiller's Millennium Mill was the largest flour mill in Britain.
This area of the docklands was once the centre of London's flour milling industry, and both the Co-operative Welfare Society and Rank Hovis used to have similar mills to this one in the locality

this is actually a moveable bridge to let taller boats pass underneath it. Pretty cool huh? we went for dinner in the restaurant on the top floor of that building you can see in the background - The Baltic centre (a rennovated flour mill I think) - awesome views as it got dark! The dockside/quayside area here looks really smart and metropolitan now that it's been rennovated.... really rather smart!
Detaisl from the fairly broad pathway/cycle way up on the bridge.
Popular lunch stop in the fantastic summer of 2018.

Cloud Gate on the AT&T Plaza
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.
Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high.
What's your colour? blue red, green, yellow, purple, violet. Just wait a few minutes and you will get your wish as you will see the bridge and the relections on the water below change through the spectrum

I took the Olympus OM-10 to work with me on Monday and grabbed the chance to go for a walk lunchtime. My office is right next to Blackfriars Station so I did a circular tour from there over the Millenium Bridge, back past the Tate and back across Blackfriars Bridge. Am pleased with how some of the shots came out. More to follow. Best viewed in Black.
