i took this on a river cruise from westminster to greenwich, so its somewhere along that stretch of water hehe. it was a yellowy colour originally, and a very odd shape, but i liked the shapes and patterns of this close up and thought black and white worked better. so here ya go, black and white, not infra.

Wonderful geometrics Jan, I love this one. The glow has worked really well to bring out the detail of the balconies and stress the pattern. Interesting how this one caught your eye because the different size squares and rectangles are particularly good at establishing a rhythm. I like this departure from your usual subjects - and you were right to do a b&w conversion.

You're right about the black and white, of course. I couldn't see this in color, even if it was....

Did that make sense?

Good. I didn't think so....lol..

It's a good thing you added some squares in there, or I'd really be going 'round in circles.

I always wondered where the stars on Hollywood Squares moved after the show went off the air. Just a great example of stress relief. Good work Jan.

Yeah, I think I remember you pointing this out to me, You took this when I was there, right? Wow, it turned out really well and I think the B&W did it justice too! How observant you are to have noticed this cool photo-op :) Love the pattern! It's kind of bizzarre the way the lines don't seem quit straight but I believe they actually are.

Hey Jan,
I assume you used a long tele lens for this one, right,
Lovely shot, I like the repetition that seems to never end,
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing

Looks like an optical illusion test :o) Every time I look at it, I see different things, can't figure it out :o) Amazing looking building.
