buildings

a little room with a view in the middle of the thames (between Tate Modern and St Pauls’ Cathedral).
there’s loads of obvious jokes here, but i shall avoid making any of them.

this building wasn’t here before. except it was. only there was another building in front which is now gone. so it took me by surprise.
of course if you didn’t know it was meant to be there to begin with it won’t take you by surprise. unless everything takes you by surprise in which case you would have been surprised anyway.

the shapes, the colour of the building and the colour of the sky. the future is so retro. modern is so passe.
this car park was built by mad bees. i think.

a great day for refletioms:

and general sky niceness:

whoever thought this was a good idea.

here’s a building recently erected near paddington station. i was brave enough to walk through a little passage and have a look on the other side this morning.

great view, but a bit drafty

it’s often the case that a reflection can be nicer than the building itself. here is a good example of a hideous concrete monstrocity which is reflecting the ornate building on the other side of the street.

more of the frontless building (from the side)

this building looks more precarious each time i pass it. it’s now suspended in mid air.
The giders in the foreground are not connected to the main building. The main building is apparently made of a number of floating floors.

here is a man working on the corner of a floater (again that stick below him is in the foreground and nothing to do with the building):

i walk past this building quite regularly so apologies if this is a repeat ! i really like this one though so click for largeness.
