I've been trying to take this style of image since seeing Steve Parish talk at the norwood town hall a few weeks back. IT's amazing how symmetry of a single image can produce such abstract looking results. The original image is the bottom left corner.

Built on the site of the old County Goal, the store was originally much smaller than it is today. Built for Ā£2721, it was an impressive building, fronted with red brick and white dressings. It was opened on 29th June, in 1881 by Thomas Hughes QC (author of Tom Browns School Days), for the sale of bread, grocery, shoes and drapery. By 1902 it was extended to include a larger grocery and a confectionery shop. This was opened by Daisy Warwick, Countess of Essex from Easton Lodge. Since then, over the years adjoining units were purchased until 1958 when work began to rebuild the entire store at a cost of Ā£300 000. This was in fact the largest building project to be complete in Chelmsford since World War 11. The new store included a self service food hall, footwear, toys, lingerie, fashions, drapery, specialise baby linen and a floral department.
In 1969 the Society acquired the site of the London Road, Congregational Church and by 1973 opened a new unit (now Dansk) joined to the original store by a bridge. The double unit was then re-named Co-operative House. By 1990 a refurbishment added an impressive glass entrance to the New London Road unit, which gave rise to the new name āquadrantā. However, by 1995, due to recession, New London Road was taken over by Maples and then Allders until it was finally acquired by Dansk in 2010.
The final major change in the stores history came in 1995, when it added a third floor for beds, extended its fashion range and changed its colour scheme to the black and white theme as seen today. Chelmsford Star is now the only Co-operative Society in East Anglia to still have department stores and is proud to own Chelmsfordās only independent department store

I understand this is a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 which is a carbon fibre made to measure machine costing about Ā£10,000.
The bike weighed nothing and could be picked up wih one finger! The water bottles, when full, are heavier than the bike!
Far from completion, these are simply test shots for a commissioned piece based on the Crescent at Buxton in Derbyshire. In fact the model will portray just a quadrant of a whole circle rather than the semicircle of the inspiration. I've just got the facade put together so far - there will be a squared off building at each end, and of course, as yet there is no roof.

The sine quadrant (Arabic: Rubul Mujayyab) - also known as the "Sinecal Quadrant" ā was used for solving trigonometric problems and taking astronomical observations. It was developed by al-Khwarizmi in 9th century Baghdad and prevalent until the nineteenth century. Its defining feature is a graph-paper like grid on one side that is divided into sixty equal intervals on each axis and is also bounded by a 90 degree graduated arc. A cord was attached to the apex of the quadrant with a bead, for calculation, and a plumb bob. They were also sometimes drawn on the back of astrolabes.

I thought that some of you might like a look at the Quadrant since it's been refurbished.As can be seen,more and more comfortable seating and loads of information everywhere.If you're still stuck there are local and National Express enquiries offices,constantly manned at the back wall and a Co-op,Greggs and a nice coffee bar included in the redevelopment too.
As for the manouvreing area it's still much the same,buses drive forward onto the 26 bays.They each have a large concrete buffer at the front though.Locals will well remember the incident when a National shot through the front of the building about 35 years back now.All in all a big improvement on the old one.There is a buslane too and a central reservation on the Kingsway so pictures are easy to get.Remember too,First Cymru buses come from all over the country ,so it's quite a bit more interesting than it might appear too.........

This direction on a sunny November afternoon from the path towards the Lapworth Museum of Geology (wasn't going there this time).
As usual had to find my way into the Chancellors Court, that meant heading round to the right and eventually up close to the Bramall Music Building.

1900-1909 by Sir Aston Webb and Ingress Bell, the D plan group main university
building of which only part were completed to the original design. The Great
Hall opposite the tower is the central axial building, to its front is a square
entrance hall with a giant round arched mullioned window, above an ornate
frieze over the loggia doorways, flanked by tapering square corner turrets
(to rear as well) which are topped by small ribbed domes. Over the hall rises
a low octagonal drum supporting a large ribbed dome and a miniature lantern.
Red brick and stone and buff terracotta dressings, but the conception is more
Byzantine than Renaissance. Behind the domed and galleried entrance hall with
ornate Renaissance grotesque relief carving, lies the Great Hall itself, a
vast tunnel vaulted space with cross vaulted
2 storey side galleries. Rich grotesque carving. Lavish stained glass by
T R Spence. The centrepiece of the hall has 2 storey quadrant links forming
the wing pavilions, 2 to the west but only one completed to the east. These
relate on a smaller 2 storey scale to the Great Hall being square on plan and
with similar ribbed domes but with round corner turrets, wings extending
behind. Flat lintelled window ranges on ground floor and large frescoed
friezes by Anning Bell below the parapets on the first floor level. The link
ranges have segmental arched windows. Modern part to east not of special interest.
