The light is always great shortly after sunrise, and this morning was no exception around the City of the Arts and Sciences. With light winds the reflections worked out rather beautifully too as a lone person wanders past the end of Museu de les Ciéncies.

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 RundetĂĄrn (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.

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!

Tom and I took a stroll around Oxford, and were lucky enough to be allowed to visit the Investcorp Building or Middle East Centre in St Anthony's College, Oxford. This shot was taken from the ground floor looking up at the staircase full of clean lines and swooshes that dominate this Zaha Hadid-designed staircase.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

OK, so this is my third visit to Ely Cathedral and walking in through the south door was greeted by...well, ummm....a giant moon. Not something I'd expected to see, I won't lie. The moon was installed in the aisle at Ely as part of the Science Festival and was only there for a three week run before eclipsing somewhere else. So a pretty unique opportunity, once you've gotten over the shock!

It wasn't all about Calatrava. I think I've kept four other shots not of his work! This was a short bus ride away and while what I'd aimed to get looking directly at the Torres del Serrans didn't quite work out, I spotted this funky opportunity as I headed back to the bus and did a bit of stacking!

A little help on the timings from the Photographer's Ephemeris for this shot - I waited until the sun shone perfectly on the back of the Palau de les Arts - look at the shadow at the bottom! I've never done mono like this before, think I need to experiment more to get this right - especially under the "feather", so expect a redux of this at some point.

Night-time has fallen as we reach the final stop of the day, a spot I've been meaning to visit for a while. Battersea Power Station looms on the skyline behind the Victoria Railway Sheds as trains snake past to and from the Thames. Hard to believe that Battersea is on the south bank of the River Thames - while the sidings are on the north bank.

I don't do sunrise. I do it grudgingly at work, that's it. So the idea of sunrise being 07:30 in Spain was appealing, especially when the hotel was only a 2min walk from the City of the Arts and Sciences. No reflections again after the fail at Hemisferic the previous evening, but still a pleasing shot none-the-less.
