I was never a great fan of brutalist architecture, but my camera has taught me to look at things more closely and I have grown to appreciate the lines and angles, and even the bulky blocks of concrete.
I have walked beneath this jutting-out part of the Hayward many times, and a better look showed a beauty I hadn’t seen before. I’m sure not all of you will agree with my view, but once I blanked out the noise and crowds of London and saw it as I have shown here, I loved it.

It’s so interesting how looking at things through a camera makes you see beauty that you would have otherwise missed. This is a great shot.

Fabulous shot! It does make me think of something rather sci-fi 🙂

I remember when I was living in London the National Theatre on the South Bank was built and when it opened we all called it the “cement cinema”. No one liked it much but over the years I have come to appreciate it much more.

Same here. I didn’t se it built but I used to go there during my student days and always thought it was good to be there to a) enjoy the views and b) not see the building itself!! Now I love it 🙂

Additionally, Debbie, if you don’t mind, i like to ask a question. Is there a reason you prefer not to offer sharing buttons on your website ? I always share the posts that i like, and i always share through the authors website, not through the wordpress back-end. I assume you understand the reason why. I’m just curious. Is this because of the copyright statement of yours ? Just curious, thanks.

There is a wordpress bug that removes my sharing buttons even when I’ve clicked to say they should be shown!!!

Oh, I see, now !… I write a few articles here and there, to help the new users of the wordpress platform. BECAUSE i’m pissed with the teckies. I’m not a teckie, but i try to help. I like experiments. It looks like the wordpress teckies can’t help you . Sorry to hear this.
Do you listen wordpress teckies ?

Wonderful !… I Like & I share.
I like the way you describe your experience. I ‘ve noticed that the photographers know how… to write words, things and stuff, but they prefer not to. I know the reason why. But I always appreciate a few words next to a picture, an epigram explaining whatever the author wants to explain. Take care and thank you.

Glad you like it. I enjoy writing, but time often gets in my ay – but I felt this one justified at least a few words 🙂

I understand what you mean. In any case, I think you’ re talented, not only working with the camera, but in writing epigrams also. Take care, dear, and thank you.

The cloudy sky helped to. Looking up at quite an angle, I felt I could sail away on it
