Like an ongoing Tetris game, Park Hyatt Tokyo and its surrounding buildings jut irregularly along the dark Tokyo skyline
Another one of Plymouth's colourful buildings is this block of student flats in the city centre.
When this was first built the developers had put up even colour cladding on the outside but the council told them to remove it as it wasn't in the planning permission. So they changed it to this grey, white and teal look.
It's a bit all over the place but it reminded me of the old Tetris game with all the blocks falling down from the top.
This is an unpolished wooden Tetris piece at the edge of the dark macro mondays universum!
It was very difficult for me to decide from which edge I take a photo, so I choose this perspective and now you can see several edges. ;-)
HMM!
Macro Mondays, Edge
Have been playing with the various comps that I took at Thames Gateway Port and loving all of them so apologies if I over indulge myself.
One from a brief visit to the Tate Modern art museum in London. We'd gone down to see if we could find this installation by Haegue Yang as it's a pretty cool subject for an abstract photograph.
The artwork has the rather interesting name of "Sol LeWitt Upside Down - Structure with Three Towers, Expanded 23 Times, Split in Three." It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it? The piece consists of over 500 independent components made of Venetian blinds that together recreate one of Sol LeWitt’s signature works from 1986.
I'm not a modern art aficionado but I do like things with interesting shapes and this one has some great angles to photograph it from. The room was fairly busy while we were photographing it but I did get one moment when it was clear apart from this one man who was walking through.
I don't think this is going to be to everyone's taste but it's always nice to find something a little different.

Traditional versions of Tetris move the stacks of blocks down by a distance exactly equal to the height of the cleared rows below them. Contrary to the laws of gravity, blocks may be left floating above gaps. Implementing a different algorithm that uses a flood fill to segment the play field into connected regions which will make each region fall individually, in parallel, until it touches the region at the bottom of the play field. This opens up additional "chain-reaction" tactics involving blocks cascading to fill additional lines, which may be awarded as more valuable clears.
Yes, life can be a "hard drop"
be careful out there.
