The Shell Centre, South Bank, River Thames, London. Undergoing refurbishment. It's pretty brutal but there are actually some lovely features – I'm waiting to see if they survive – including the layout of the public space around it. The bronze window frames and Portland Stone cladding were apparently criticised when it was new, for being backward-looking. In fact, I think they've helped it age rather better than a lot of its (1961) contemporaries.

Very "Thunderbirds".

Deliberately lazy stitch of images from the top of the Empire State — the very first place I went in New York City! Once I'd been up there it all made sense, and I found my way around pretty easily. I finally understand just how helpful the numbered street and grid system can be. You really need to view it large; ideally full size and scroll.
