Wall to wall torrential rain today...which we need...but editing a splash of colour was much needed.
Relaxing on the beach, looking out at Lake Huron and enjoying the sunset at Port Crescent State Park, Michigan.

So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running
To fight, and I'll be at your door
When there's nothing worth running for
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it
You see, you're just like everyone
When the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
And hide all by yourself
When you're far from me, there's nothing else
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking
When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it
So, if you ever want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running

The remains of Alberton Court, Manchester. It was in the news recently when demolition was halted due to collapsed scaffolding.
Alberton House was built around 1973. The architects were Leach, Rhodes, Walker.
2025 has seen the demolition of several mid-century buildings. I have photographed three of them, Robin Hood Gardens in Poplar, East London, the Yorkshire Bank Building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and this one.
With all the storm clouds we have been experiencing during the day for the past few weeks, it always amazes me that by the time it's sunset, most of the clouds disappear! We keep hoping for more spectacular clouds for the sunsets, but the simple ones can be beautiful too.

What do we see here? Logically my old neighborhood the Prenzlauer Berg! It is probably the last autumn photo;) Berlin meanwhile in the snow. And what do we hear? Definitely a band from that time. LYCIA with of course a newer song.

Another detail shot of Manchester's Hexagon Tower.
Building completed in 1973 for ICI.
For 50 years this Brutalist building’s facade was of concrete. The facade was over-clad with insulated aluminium rainscreen in 2023/2024, retaining the hexagonal shape of the original structure’s windows.
The 14-storey tower was named after the hexagon shaped windows based on the chemical compound Benzene, which is widely used in the creation of synthetic dyes.
Original architect was Richard Seifert.

Somehow I bypassed this simple, single rose in favour of more colourful blooms but I think that sometimes, less is more.
I've been working on my original shot from this set on Wastwater and thought I might give this one a go! I like the fact that you can see the mother's face and the splash as the paddle hits the water! The canoe's wake spoils the reflection a little and it's central position is not the best for composition but I like it!
Plants have to be pretty hardy to survive the hot dry air of California summer weather. Jade plants rank right up at the top as being up to the task. I have had this plant for 40 years.
A square version of my previous photo.
Detail of the Torre Glòries residential building in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. It was originally known as Torre Agbar and it was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel in association with the Spanish firm 'b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos'. The builders were Dragados.
