Quadrant Range from Ring Road South at the University of Birmingham.
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.
This is the listing below for the main buildings of the Quadrant Range.

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.

A 1956 artist's schematic of Plum Brook reactor primary buildings with a cutaway of the containment vessel revealing the quadrants, the reactor pressure tank, and the lily pad. It was called the lily pad because, with water in the quadrants, the circular center resembled "a lily pad floating on water."

I started with an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulated the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.
2008 Acrylic on canvas 30 x 40 inches "Three Sunflowers" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. Sunflowers are such vibrant subject matter, but have short lives. I wanted to give life to these three very different sunflowers. Sunflowers are the chameleons of the botanical world. There are hundreds of different varieties, colors and shapes. The center of the sunflower in the lower quadrant of the painting is my favorite center I have painted even though it is not that realistic. I also really liked the upper left sunflower and the way the disc floret seems almost alive as the future seeds wiggle in the sky. The soft tones give the painting a peaceful natural feel. Be sure to look at the additional views to see the details on the ring in the center of the flower. Purchase Price $625
Hard to believe this signal still survives on todays "modern" railway- the only surviving Midland lower quadrant in daily use on the network?
2011-06-12 Bratislava lost forest (135 msm Quadrant 7968/2).
Most common species in this forest is Acer campestre, but there are also plenty other present (Fraxinus excelsior, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia cordata, Quercus cerris, Quercus petraea, Staphylea pinnata, etc.).

It's a good five minutes walk through the park and up the hill between the Park Road tenement in the foreground and the grand terraced houses of Park Quadrant.
Using the Lunar Terminator Visualization Tool (LTVT), it's possible to map a 2D image of the Moon onto a 3D sphere and rotate it to get a better look at limb features which would otherwise appear heavily foreshortened, such as Mare Orientale above. The white line represents 90 deg W longitude, i.e. the visible "edge" of the Moon if there was no libration. So yes, it is possible to see the far side of the Moon from Earth (but only a little bit.)
LTVT is available as freeware from ltvt.wikispaces.com/LTVT .
Or, if you find LTVT a little daunting, a similar - but less accurate - result can be achieved by using the 3D Transform filter in Photoshop. J.-P. Metsävainio's procedure on how to do this was published in the January 2005 edition of Sky & Telescope.
Regent Street is a major shopping street and thoroughfare in London's West End. Named after the Prince Regent (later George IV), it was built by John Nash as part of a ceremonial route from the Regent's residence at Carlton House in St James's to Regent's Park. Starting as Lower Regent Street at its intersection with Charles II Street and Waterloo Place, it runs north to Piccadilly Circus then becomes Regent Street by turning westward, and curves around in a quarter-circle until it is heading north once more. It then continues past Oxford Circus becoming Upper Regent Street and ends at its intersection with Langham Place, Cavendish Place and Mortimer Street.
The Quadrant Centre, later renamed St Peters Quarter.
This is a 1930s rebuild of the original Victorian building.
JJ Allen's furniture store traded from here for many years.
Bar Med [ Mediterranee ], seen here, had previously been Hartleys Cafe Bar and is now the Mary Shelley bar.
Greenford, west London. Amazingly, semaphore signals survive here, directly adjacent to the Underground's Central line, with its automatic train operation and modern signalling! This is the only location on the Underground where semaphores can be found so close by. A Paddington train waits to leave, with the roughly century-old starting lower quadrant signal cleared. 31 August 2012.
