Poland's design is one of my favorites. The facade represents apple crates, and inside contains several nice surprises, such as a suspended garden on the roof.
Penarth Pier has been crowned Pier of the Year 2014 by the members of the National Piers Society.
Penarth pier has been praised for its “beautifully refurbished” Pavilion and described as the “jewel in the crown” of the town.
The Pier was first opened in 1895 and soon began to attract steamers offering trips to Ilfracombe, Lundy Island, Lynmouth, Minehead and Westward Ho.
Apart from its jetty the pier had a café and tea gardens, a florist's and a weighing machine.
In 1902 alone it attracted some 25,000 visitors who paid 2d (1p) to stroll along its deck, but it wasn’t until 1907 that a pavilion, the Bijou, was built at the seaward end.
Another pavilion opened at the shoreward end in 1929, costing £10,000: its first show was The Lido Follies.
In 1932 it enjoyed a short spell as a cinema before becoming a dance hall, the Marina Ballroom.
During the 1960s it played host to the likes of Gene Vincent, Matt Monro and Tom Jones but eventually it was used, first as a snooker club and later a gym.
By 2005 the Grade II listed building had become seriously run down and the Penarth Arts and Crafts Trust campaigned for its restoration.
As well as raising money locally the Trust succeeded in obtaining grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund, CADW (Welsh Heritage), the Coastal Communities Fund and the Headley Trust.
At a cost of more than £4 million the building has now been transformed into a spacious gallery, cinema, café, observatory and community workspace. It reopened in December 2013 and has been an extraordinary success, with nearly 8,000 people visiting the pavilion in its first month open. Its full-time cinema is the only one on a pier and the first in Penarth for 43 years.
Dr David Trotman, director of the Penarth Pier Pavilion, welcomed the award for the pier.
“We are delighted that the pier has been given this award and that the pavilion and all its activities have catalysed this decision.”
Aside from the Pavilion the pier is popular with anglers and will be receiving visits from the Waverley paddle steamer in the autumn.

"Inspired by the spectacular Butchart Gardens of British Columbia, these gardens are a reminder and a reflection of horticulture as a work of art and a labor of love" (Inscription viewed on the grounds).
This is my latest building, build it in the past few months.The name of the building is 'Dudok Pavilion' It's a fictional restaurant in a park named and inspired after my favourite dutch architect Dudok. Visit and follow my Instagram @brickisme
This is a closer view of the Pavilion from the lower walkway near the sea at Porthcawl. I thought it was a good place for a photo and a dog in the shot was a bonus! Luckily Harbie was too low to see it!

This was taken a couple of days ago at Santee Lakes. For infrared photography, Santee Lakes is an extremely photogenic area that provides the elements I look for. There were beautiful monsoonal clouds that morning.
This is an infrared image taken with my converted Nikon D300 camera. I've been taking infrared photographs for about 10 years, and with a total of 3 different cameras. It's much easier to take infrared images digitally that it was in the film days. If you like this look, I have an album of infrared photographs, creatively named Infrared.

Impressive engineering on the huge concrete overhang without support at the end.
You enter from the top right, where the robot is. The Porsches are underground and the you exit from the stairs in the middle. It looks a bit cold and sterile.
