The Tomorrowland Transit Authority is the perfect ride for tired feet. Normally short queues and a good sit down in the fresh air as you zoom around above Tomorrowland. Sitting on the front of the train gave a chance to try some long exposure shots of the track and its twists and turns.
A huge thank-you to everybody who has viewed, favourited and commented on this picture following it hitting Explore on 20th February 2015. Of all the pictures I've taken in Florida this was the one I least expected to do well, so chuffed that so many of you like it!

The Round Tower was the first place visited on my whistle-stop tour of Copenhagen, and the architecture within was something I'd never seen before in the UK - a 7.5 turn slope climbing the tower to high above the skyline of Copenhagen. At the top are a few stairs leading to an observation deck and astronomy tower. A popular venue for people, this shot was taken just before the next ground descended from the top.
From Wikipedia: The Rundetaarn, or Rundetårn (Round Tower in English), is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.

Beneath the Palau de les Arts - and underground - is this curved tunnel, which has skylights to the pavement above. While it looks peaceful the rooms either side are practice rooms for choirs, singers and orchestras. It was quiet as we passed through this time, but that is rarely the case.

Platform One and not a soul in sight as a train departs. The arches of the Guillemins building dominate.
A pleasant surprise this evening to find that this image received an Honorable Mention in the International Photo Awards 2019 - my first time entering such a competition, so to get one of my four entries commended is pretty pleasing!

Dappled light spills into the Northern Aisle in Ely Cathedral, highlighting the historic stonework and the details contained within it. A stunning cathedral to visit, and one with a very open policy and friendliness to photographers...and some great images to shoot there to boot. Go visit!

My first time exploring the Victoria & Albert Museum today, and was amazed at the absolute scale of the place. So many different rooms and galleries to explore with so many different items. This was the Paul and Jill Ruddock Gallery, but viewed from the second floor at one end where a stone pathway crosses between the gallery and the main entrance. The roofspace is fantastic in its symmetry and using a glass display cabinet I was able to capture the reflection to make an almost futuristic image from a historic building.
Received an Honorable Mention for this image on 2nd February 2021 from the Tokyo International Photo Awards in the Architecture-Interiors (Non-Professional) category!

So, I've recently been away for a few days in Valencia with fellow Flickrite Tom Knowles, a four day quest to do nothing but photography and food. Over the coming days I'll be uploading a few of my favourite images from the trip.
First off was a surprise find - heading from the airport to the hotel we got off the Metro by coincidence at this stop and found a small part of Calatrava's work hidden underground!

What we thought might turn out to be a wasted journey across town turned into one of the highlights of the trip. The Plaza de Toros was due to close at 1:30pm, and we didn't make it until 15mins before. Asking to see inside we were told to simply ring the bell, and were let in without fuss or fanfare and free to roam at will. And what an opportunity.
Built originally in 1886 this is an incredible round stadium. Eerily quiet when we were there with barely another person to be seen, you could almost hear the history and the events that would have unfolded here. While I may not agree with the idea of bullfighting, it was hard not to be wowed by the setting. Just thinking about 15,000 people in this old stdium cheering and shouting, the noise must be immense.
One thing is for sure, it was a fitting environment to be the playground of the matador...hence the title.

And so endeth our Valencian adventure, ironically back where we began at Alameda Metro Station. This shot was taken at platform level giving a different perspective to the first shot in the series, which was taken at the top of the escalator seen in this picture.

800ft above the City as the sun sets and the lights take over for the evening. The View From The Shard can only be described as incredible. Tricky to shoot with double panes of glass and reflections, but I got lucky with a couple of shots...

The Design Museum has moved to it's new home in Kensignton High Streat, a Grade II listed building which used to be the Commonwealth Institute. Impressively designed inside and some interesting exhibits to boot. Very angular from all angles, but the fisheye brings something completely different to the design.

A glimpse up at the roofspace in The Design Museum and the skylights and beams supporting the roof.
Big thanks to the gazillion people who have viewed, faved and commenting on this - an image I liked but never thought would hit Explore at #6 and become my most viewed image in 36hrs!

We weren't lucky with the weather on this trip. Well, we were - it was glorious. However it was also quite windy, the wind got up soon after sunrise and stayed up for the rest of the day. This rendered the opportunities for decent reflections almost redundant, but hey ho.

My second visit in six years to Ely Cathedral, must go again because there is sooooo much to see and shoot. This shot was taken just east of the Lantern Tower as I moved into the Choir and Prebytery areas, huge arched ceilings towering above with the light shimmering in from the stained glass windows at the far end. Taken from low down the scale of the building is even more obvious.

Probably the most well-known cliché shot from any Open House London, this is something I've wanted to see for 4 years now - but never made it until this Sunday. The atrium is within the Allen & Overy offices in One Bishops Square. The balls stretch up several floors and change colours, shortly after getting the nice reds it all went white until we'd left.

The final run of the night and props fully spinning, a glorious sight and more importantly sound from those Merlin engines.

Wandering along the Tagus River towards the Belém Tower and the Monument of the Discoveries looms up. This is, and there is no other word for it, MASSIVE. Great stone carvings with details throughout, absolutely incredible to see in the early evening.
