Architecture

I have had a life-long fascination with architecture & design. So much so, that some form of architecture based career might have been a good idea. At one point I did contemplate going back to college, but the hard realities of a 4-year course and the impact on my finances dissuaded me.

Well if I can’t design for a living, I can at least enjoy taking pictures of buildings and their architectural features.

Unfortunately, this gallery was closed. It made up for it by making a great picture though.

WTF, Bus Shelter or Mouldy Carrot? – I have no idea. Officially, it’s a bus shelter and is called Silica – though comments in the local press have called it a mouldy carrot.
