“This is the £2m Neuron Pod, one of the last posthumous works of architect Will Alsop, who proves that he is still eminently capable of making mischief from beyond the grave. The project marks the latest addition to Queen Mary University of London’s campus, an informal science learning space for the armies of schoolchildren who benefit from the teaching hospital’s lively education programme.”…more.
It goes without saying?
Another view, from the side street, of the house on the corner. I was struck by the lavender coloured flowers contrast with the yellow and green of the scene.
Another gloomy day with lots to see.
I was interested to see the hydrant passing through the shop display area and the way the two lights created a heart shape.
I bought an inexpensive bouquet of flowers at the supermarket several days ago. The buds have opened up and blossomed beautifully, to the point of insisting I photograph them.
After the Courtauld we sat in the Somerset House courtyard for a while, enjoying the sun and some sparkling water, shown here, casting interesting shadows.
We went to see Hepworth in Colour a couple of weeks ago at the Courtauld Gallery. I was not truly familiar with her work but these were stunning pieces, abstractly illustrating many of the principles of composition and design that I have been discussing with my u3a photography group. Highly recommended if you’re in or near London. When we were finished we emerged into the Courtauld’s permanent collection and a seriously sumptuous collection of some marvelous and familiar Impressionist works.
A couple more images for my collection of sunlight and shade.
…possible addition to the Looking Down project…?
Yet another early morning, half-blind, still life. Without my glasses on, this appeared, bleary-eyed and interesting, supporting my jumping out of bed to grab my camera from another room and attach a macro lens to it. While the post is titled “glasses,” both my glasses and the bottle behind are, in fact, made of plastics.
More work playing with the macro lens and the sunlight on and through plastic furniture.
