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 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.

Send you a little bit sunshine for a wonderful week-end

Or head in the neck... ; )

The harbor control center forms the top of this building in the marina district of Vancouver, B.C., Canada. You can see the other side of the control center reflected in the adjacent building.

Not actually from the London Flickr Photowalk around Shadwell and Wapping back in February but taken about twenty minutes afterwards as I continued walking along the river as darkness fell.

 

I really liked the contrast between the warm lighting and the cold tones of the blue hour in this shot of a hotel next to the Tower of London. Having checked, the hotel in the foreground is the rather plush Dubai-owned Cheval Three Quays, a 5 star hotel with one bed apartments starting at about £500 per night : www.chevalcollection.com/cheval-three-quays/

From the hotels website, "Situated on the banks of the River Thames immediately adjacent to the Tower of London and just a short walk from Tower Hill Underground Station, Cheval Three Quays features a selection of 159 modern luxury apartments, available to book for any length of stay. Cheval Three Quays has a range of accommodation, from intelligently designed studio and open-plan apartments to grand penthouses with views of some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including The Shard and HMS Belfast. Whether you’re staying for just one night, or for months at a time, you can expect five-star service and the personal touch."

A striking example of modern design, this image showcases a long, covered walkway lined with bold yellow columns and a checkered tile floor. The strong perspective draws the viewer’s eye toward the horizon, where distant figures add scale and movement to the scene. Framed by a vivid blue sky and lush greenery, the composition blends architectural rhythm with natural serenity—an inviting space for both reflection and exploration.

Gas Street Basin, Birmingham, West Midlands.

A shot of the recently opened Barbara Hepworth building at Huddersfield University. The building looks to be balanced precariously, hence my title.
