Steel frame of building under construction, with 19th century disused gasholder frame in the background
The northern viaduct of the Golden Gate Bridge foreshadows the skyline of San Francisco, California in the background looking southeast.
Symmetry! A mirror image of the structure over the botanical gardens at the Valencia park of Arts and Sciences.
The museum was built between 1893 and 1896 and was designed by Ödön Lechner in the Hungarian Secession style also known as Art Nouveau. It has a green roof and the interior is designed using Hindu, Mogul, and Islamic designs. There is an immediate clash between the exterior and the ceiling of the main entrance with the white interior; the aula is covered with a steelframed glass ceiling. Some years ago a pendulum was hung from here to shoe the rotation of the earth as part of the exhibition on history of measuring time.
I used to live on the same street back in the 60’s where it is located, and frequently visited the museum. Address: IX. Ullői út 33-37. My address was Ullői út 14.

I felt inspired. Did a thing.

Go ahead and name them in the comments and I’ll make some backstories.

Detail of the steel frame of the Sainsbury Centre, an art museum at the University of East Anglia.
Designed by architects Norman and Wendy Foster and completed in 1978. It is grade II* listed by Historic England.
This is an iPhone re-photograph of a slightly cropped 10X8" framed print under glass. The print was made more than forty years ago from a black and white 35mm negative, shot by a friend intending to depict me on my bicycle. At the time I had free access to a darkroom at my university, and there I attempted to 'reshoot' the scene my friend had transferred to my eyes, and turn it into something more graphic, abstract, and atmospheric. Effectively, I re-positioned his camera, changed its settings, and zoomed in a little.
(I like the fortunate speck of glint from the inside of each steel rim, just where the wheels would otherwise all but disappear against the grassy verge. What might look like a backdrop of cumulus clouds is actually dust left in my wake. 😉)
Negative not in my possession, equipment now unverifiable, though I am guessing the film was Kodak TriX, and less confidently, the camera a Voigtlander rangefinder. Geo tag only approximate. The location was somewhere below Mt Buffalo, in the region of The Buckland Valley and the small town of Porepunkah in the alpine area of Victoria, Australia.
I still use this, “my bike”, which is over fifty years old (if you allow it to be like the axe that has had three new blades and four new handles). It got stolen once. Parts were recovered but not the frame. With the insurance money I bought a superior Japanese double-butted Tange Champion frame around 1982. But this picture certainly predates that. If anything remains of the bike in the photo, it could only be the handlebars. The Tange has had every other fitting replaced with modern gear. I am a pedaller, but not a pedant... though I did have new wheels made for it in the original 27" size.
Nice old Fuji roadster from the early 70s.

This is a Sculpture by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei installed in September outside the Gherkin building in the City of London. For me this is an ideal combination of 2 interests in bicycles and architecture. I came across it by accident while walking in the City for Open House weekend on 20th September. It is part of Sculpture in the City, a yearly public exhibition of contemporary art situated in and around London’s Square Mile during the summer. The Sculpture is called Forever and is based on the Forever Bicycle mass produced in China in the last century. It has been displayed before in other cities around the World. It is made up of 700 bicycles. Not sure how long it will be on display but according to pictures on Flickr it was still there yesterday so worth a visit if you are in the area.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 10mm. I took 3 pictures for HDR but this was not needed in the end. I processed in Camera Raw. More detail was brought in using Topaz Clarity and noise reduced using Topaz DeNoise. Finally a clarity effect using Unsharp mask and settings of amount 26 and radius 26. This has the effect of bringing in more punch and contrast.
