Very impressive set, Simon. My faves are the first and last, very strong
images! I also like the comp in #4. Who is the architect of this structure?
Bill
ps it appears the android has rusted tight from the rain. Probably should be taken down before it falls on somebody.  That is some bodacious
cantilevering going on, reminiscent of FLW.
Some great captures, Simon! |

Thanks a lot for the kind words Orio and Super Tak!!
Bill,
It is by Dennis Lasdun, a British architect. I think it was completed in the 1960's.
For sure you can see the Wright influence in the cantilevers, although I had not thought of it before you said so.
Brutalism, I love it. But I know I am in a minority!!

I'm not in Prince Charles's camp, who hates this building. I like the shapes and layout etc, but the dirty bare concrete finish, with all its rust and other stains, well it is SO depressing! If Brutalism = bare concrete, count me out.
Great shots Simon. I like the cantilevers too. |

Hi Jesito,
Thanks for your kind words...
All digital I am afraid.
Sculpture on the top is Anthony Gormley's work, a cast of his body. There are currently dozens all over the London skyline!!
thanks a lot Carsten!!

The b/w conversion is excellent, the vignetting is perfect for this composition (real or software?).
Impressive pictures, thanks for sharing!

Hi Michael,
Thanks, and I added a little vignetting in Photoshop.
Neither lens does much on its own...
