Predynastic Egyptian figure predating the pyramids by around 1000 years. Bone. Basic yet expressive. Pairs were often in burial goods.

With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series
called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
I met up with my son for a socially distanced walk around the lake at UEA (University of East Anglia). It was wonderful to see him, but bizarre to have to keep 2 metres away.
The photo is taken outside the Sainsbury Centre art gallery, with sculptures in the foreground. The Building are some of the UEA ziggurats which are student accommodation blocks that were build at the same time as the University. They are now listed.

The original accommodation blocks at UEA which are ziggurats overlook the lake, The view must prove a distraction to the students.
Privacy change... for some reason this image became 'private'... so all comments and views were deleted. Apologies.
I was lucky enough to be be hired by HIM to cover their entire show at Norwich UEA on 13/03/10 as they needed some images for a microphone endorsement.
University of East Anglia, Norwich. Known as the Ziggurats, the stepped blocks of Norfolk Terrace and Suffolk Terrace were built as student accommodation.

Gorgeous sunset reflected in the UEA Boilerhouse towers. Which in turn are reflected in another of our amazing tilt-flat windows.

I cannot stay on the computer for very long at the moment (probably 15 mins tops) as I have eye problems. I hope to be posting more regularly and able to make comments early in the coming year. Apologies for neglecting those who visit my photostream.
I have posted today (5th Jan) two more images taken last year which show other details of the above sculpture.https://www.sainsburycentre.ac.uk/whats-on/
An aerial view of the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, captured in the heart of autumn. Founded in 1963, the university is one of the UK’s pioneering purpose-built campus universities, laid out on former Earlham Hall estate land. Much of the core campus was designed by Sir Denys Lasdun, one of Britain’s leading modernist architects.
The most iconic structures in view are the Grade II* listed Ziggurats – the stepped student accommodation blocks officially named Norfolk Terrace and Suffolk Terrace – begun in 1964 and completed by 1974. Lasdun’s team included architects Peter Softley and John Weeks, with construction by Taylor Woodrow Construction Ltd. The design followed his principle of “streets in the sky”, combining Brutalist form with views across parkland.
Running north–south through the middle is the teaching spine, linking lecture theatres, laboratories, and administration buildings, including the Elizabeth Fry Building (opened 1994, by Sheppard Robson Architects) and the Julian Study Centre (2014).
To the north-west, beside the lake known as UEA Broad, stands the celebrated Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts – designed by Norman Foster and opened in 1978. The building houses the Sainsbury Collection and is one of Foster’s earliest major works. It was shortlisted for UNESCO World Heritage status in 2023.
Beyond the academic core, the curved residential blocks of Constable Terrace, Nelson Court, and Britannia House can be clearly seen, built mainly in the 1990s–2000s as student numbers grew. At the southern entrance lies the original Earlham Hall, a 17th-century manor house and now home to UEA’s Law School.
Surrounding the campus are large areas of green space: meadows, sports fields, and woodland that form part of UEA’s 360-acre campus. UEA Broad itself was artificially created in 1978 through gravel extraction and is now a valued wildlife habitat.
This view captures UEA’s unique blend of groundbreaking 1960s architecture, later academic expansion, and the parkland setting that defines the university’s character today.
While Norwich is busy hosting the BA Festival of Science, it looks like UEA is hosting the BA Festival of Numerology.
Yes, I'm sure this is the way to de-mystify the stuffy, algebraic world of the scientist *sigh*
