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.

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.

Hartleys Cafe Bar and the Christmas shop became Bar Med [ Mediterranee ] and is now the Mary Shelley bar.
Now complete with the rather stylish 'cuciform' chimneys.
This model is based upon the Crescent building in Buxton, Derbyshire, but is just a quadrant (quarter circle) rather than a semicircle.

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.

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.
