As soon as each apple blossom has attracted a bee and been pollinated, it's job is done. Now it's up to the tree's seasonal workers, the leaves, to help the young apples develop into fruition. This image celebrates these leaves and the work they do during the 6 month growing season.
Designed by G Val Myer in functionalist Modern Movement style with a nod to Art Deco, Broadcasting House was completed in 1932.
It was the UK's first purpose-built home for radio broadcasting and the second comprehensive broadcasting centre in Europe.
Built of Portland stone, with 9 floors above ground and 3 below, its central heavy masonry tower originally contained all the studios. A lighter steel-framed 'shell' provided acoustic buffering.
With its accentuated front section bearing a clock tower and aerial mast, the building has been compared to a ship. The Architectural Review of 1932 described it as the 'new Tower of London'.
It is strangely asymmetrical, because Val Myer had to adapt his first plan when local residents complained about the shadow the building would cast on houses in Langham Street, and their loss of natural light.
The aerial mast is a replica of the original, one of three that once stood on the roof. They carried an aerial used in experimental ultra short-wave transmissions.
The BBC installed two massive loudspeakers on the balconies either side of the clock tower. Every day at exactly 1:00 PM, these speakers would transmit the live audio feed of Big Ben's chimes from Westminster—blasting them out into the local neighborhood at approximately their true, "natural" volume.
When the system was first activated in the 1930s, it caught local residents and workers by surprise, causing many to stop in astonishment and look up at the roof to figure out how they were hearing a bell from two miles away!
The external transmissions were permanently halted in September 1939. Under wartime conditions, broadcasting any prominent acoustic time-markers or live audio signals into the open streets was banned to avoid giving navigational or situational audio cues to enemy German aircraft.
The winter morning shadows in Richfield County Park highlight the efforts of the WPA development here in the late 1930s, such as infrastructure (the "highway" bridge shown), tree planting ,etc.
Honnêtement, ce jour du 14 décembre 2022 était une journée en or pour la photo de rue, alors ne vous étonnez pas si vous en voyez d'autres à venir... :-)
C'est tout le problème des jours fastes : il faut quand même bien choisir plutôt que tout publier d'un coup et savoir que peu de gens les verront toutes.
En cette période de Nouvelle Année 2023, je tiens cependant à préciser que cette averse de neige risque fort d'être la première et la dernière de l'hiver 2022 - 2023.
Au moins je l'aurai immortalisée !
On aura quand même eu UNE SEMAINE D'HIVER cette année !
Quel luxe.
La preuve s'il en est que le réchauffement climatique... Hein ? Hé. Oh. Bon. :o)
Cependant cela ne doit pas nous faire oublier que, une semaine ou trois mois, travailler dans le froid et sous la neige n'est une bonne nouvelle que pour les privilégiés que les photographes sont. :-)
