The London 2012 Olympic Stadium, designed by Populous, somehow pulls off the clever trick of looking much smaller from the outside, I'll upload some shots from inside it in a few days time and you'll see what I mean.

This was the view of the Pompidou taken from outside the front door of the apartment I stayed in on one of my trips to Paris last year. It couldn't really have been more central making it a great base for exploring the city.

It used to be said that the Pompidou was a 'love it or hate it' building but most people I know just quite like it. I suppose that's what happens with the passage of time, they wanted to tear down the Eiffel Tower when that was first built.

Lit by the rising sun the aluminium facade of Imperial War Museum North by Daniel Libeskind takes on a lovely golden colour.
From Wikipedia : "Imperial War Museum North (sometimes referred to as IWM North) is a museum in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England. One of the five branches of the Imperial War Museum, the museum explores the impact of modern conflicts on people and society. It is the first branch of the Imperial War Museum to be located in the north of England. The museum occupies a site overlooking the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park, an area which during the Second World War was a key industrial centre and consequently heavily bombed during the Manchester Blitz in 1940. The area is now home to the Lowry cultural centre and the MediaCityUK development, which stand opposite the museum at Salford Quays.
The museum building was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and opened in July 2002, receiving 470,000 visitors in its first year of opening. It was recognised with awards or prize nominations for its architecture, but has also been criticised for poor energy efficiency. The museum features a permanent exhibition of chronological and thematic displays, supported by hourly audiovisual presentations which are projected throughout the gallery space. The museum also hosts a programme of temporary exhibitions in a separate gallery. Since opening, the museum has operated a successful volunteer programme, which since January 2007 has been run in partnership with Manchester Museum. As part of a national museum, Imperial War Museum North is financed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and by self-generated income. Admission is free."

Taken during a dangerously cold 'dawn raid' I particularly like this shot due to the framing and the way the rising sun picks out the Alexander Nesky Cathedral, Tallinn
