the my space building at Eastwood in Rotherham looks great from this angle with the sun shining on it.
the cyclist does not pass. he draws a line. between the lines of valencia's white bones, he becomes both presence and echo. time here folds, reflects, repeats.
a staircase that never ends. up or down? does it matter? time bends, movement blurs. only the void remains.
Abstract Experiments in Photoshop
This is just a montage of images put together just to see how they came out, using Photoshop filters. Abstracts, shadows, lights, reflections, mirror images and shapes in any format. I take this opportunity to thank all those Flickr people who inspired me with their work and taught me to look at things in a completely new way. This is the fourth posting of the series.
The library opened almost exactly 25 years ago, on April 18th, 1996, the 90th anniversary of the great San Francisco earthquake and fire. Architects are James Ingo Freed and Cathy Simon. The atrium is 5 stories high, topped by the skylight.
the evening sun hung low in the city of arts and sciences, casting long shadows over the polished tiles of valencia. the cyclists came silently, their wheels gliding through light and shadow, their outlines stretching far behind them. the modern arches and geometric lines framed the scene, the architecture as much a part of the moment as the figures in motion. the sun, piercing through the skyline, broke into a starburst, bathing the world in sharp contrasts. there was no sound but the hum of tires and the whisper of a fading day. it was a fleeting moment—of rhythm, reflection, and the quiet poetry of movement.
Designed by Victor Lundy and built in 1962, Unitarian Meeting House in Hartford is sited at the base of a sloped park. The circular church has tweleve concrete curved diameter-line fin walls, and steel bridge cables that support the sweeping, cedar plank roof. The tent-like wooden ceiling evokes the rays of the sun.
two shadows drift into the blinding calm, swallowed by light, traced by concrete ribs that echo silence. the architecture breathes like a living cathedral—empty, precise, timeless.
This beautiful building, "La Défense", houses the Tax and Customs Administration and the UWV.
The inner courtyard of the building is exceptionally colourful.
The colours are created by the reflection of daylight via special foil in the glass. An enchanting effect.
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.
