A great shot, I love the three main lines in the piece it spreads out the focus.

You're welcome
I'm a sucker for modern architecture, and I have to admit a wide angle view of this would be very cool

Yeah. Still this'll have to do until I get me a wide angle

Yeah, I just woke up one morning, and the weather was bright, so I thought, RIGHT, now's my chance, jumped on a train, and voila, though it did cloud over in teh afternoon

Thanks very much

I have photographed this building a couple of times and seen many pictures of it and I think you have done a good job here.

The four pipes in the middle look like they have smoke coming out of them with the white cloud above them!!!

ARGH there was this show on t.v. back in the day when i used to watch t.v... i cant think of the name.. but this reminds me so much of it! grrrr...
cant remember.

mustn't have been important..
anyway.
i enjoy this a lot. despite it not being straight on, the angle makes it seem even more looming.. as if it might topple over on you any minute *hates looking up at tall things*
i love the circular and rectangular elements of the building..
the only thing i would suggest..
less border please dave.
its kind of overwhelming.

I can't take the border down now, it's compliant with the rest of my latest stuff, plus I hink it's fine anyhoo.

Glad you remember the name of that TV show, especially how we discussing how good your memory was... good going Domi..

Yeah same here.. I live in Brighton which is a city, but still nothing much here, just the Royal Pavilion, which is pretty damn good, but nonetheless....

not to be a total nerd here but...

-nerd voice-

well dave, it seems that you have indeed captured the essence that is photonic reactor tunnel aboard the starship galactica, i can almost see the plasma relay runing through the phase change relays.

-end of nerd voice-

just looks like some star treck studio backdrop for some reason. this one seems almost trapping, clausterphobic, trying to reach the sky above. oh well... "stardate 2164732, nice work dave-o"

Ah, I'm so glad I understood none of that

Means I must not be a nerd

Never liked sci-fi anyway, but I see what you're getting at

i wish i understood it too.. well they arent really star trek terms anyway... so actually i do... but not in the said context. iif it makes you feel any better... i still think of you as a nerd.

The chrome grey works really nice with the blue.. nice shot

Thanks very much. I adore the architecture portrayed in this buiilding. Such openness, and like you say, the mixture of chrome and steel set against a blue sky are to die for
