The text on the pedestrian bridge closes to the camera says Shiba Kōen 3 chōme (that is the district number 3 in the Shiba Kōen area, in the Minato-ward, Tokyo) and the pedestrian bridge further away says that area is Atago 2 chōme (Atago is another area in Minato). So this is taken right on the border between the two areas (hence the title).
Or more formally known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool. This magnificent place is something for all Liverpudlians to feel proud of. When I entered the building this was the sight that greeted me. With its grand architecture & great use of coloured glass I could only say "Wow!" This modern structure was completed in 1967.

After an year not very easy, this long month away from home, I really wanted it! :)
I carry with me a large baggage of emotions and memories linked to every place I visited...Rotterdam, and its spectacular modern architecture stole my heart the genius of the architects and the huge heat weather I didn't expect to find in Holland! :D

The pavilion of EXPO 2008 takes the form of a typical Aragonese wicker basket achieved by intertwined panels of glass and micro-concrete with white glass fibre, providing the interior with a large quantity of natural light. This weave is opaque in the base, becoming more transparent as the building gets higher.

Day 25. This is the spiral pedestrian ramp in the town centre in Uxbridge. I photographed this at the beginning of the year and I wanted to revisit at the blue hour to get a different feel www.flickr.com/photos/hartwellphotography/16485021456/in/.... I like the way the yellow light makes the bridge look like its painted gold.
Singapore has a sensibly regulated free market economy, combined with political stability and certainty based on the rule of law. A laser sharp focus on quality education has produced an industrious and well educated work force. Singapore is probably the only country in that has graduated from being a Third World Country to a First World one within a single generation.
These attributes have attracted many international investors that have turned Singapore into a powerhouse for global business and finance.
Several leading multinational corporations have established their regional headquarters in Singapore, and announce their presence in the form of competing skyscrapers that rival any skyline found in the leading countries of the world.
This is a second series of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.
