Hot off the press, this is one of my favourite images from my photographic trip to Barcelona last weekend. It's taken looking up one of the lightwells to Herzog & de Meuron's extraordinary Forum building. Completed in 2004, sadly the building seemed rather disused and neglected.
It's going to take me a while to edit and post process the 1200 photos so it might be a while before I post some more from the trip but I thought I'd post this as a bit of a teaser.

From Wikipedia : "The Forum Building, designed by the Swiss architects Jaques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (Herzog & de Meuron), is an architectural landmark in Barcelona. The building is triangular in shape, measuring 180 meters on each side and 25 meters in height, located within the triangle formed by Diagonal Avenue, Rambla de Prim and the Ronda Litoral."

I apologise for lying yesterday, this is actually my favourite photo from my trip to the South Coast last Summer, probably one of my favourites from last year.
I think the composition works well as the red boat in the foreground catches your eye first for its colour and textures but the blue boat then holds it and tells you more about the subject.

I remember thinking when I took these sunset silhouettes that it was a shame it didn't feature a young, trendy couple but on reflection I like it more now, it's somehow less cliched and more meaningful.

Possibly my favourite composition yet of Future Systems Selfridges in Birminghams Bull Ring. I've enhanced the blue of the building slightly to give a bit more impact and given the aluminium discs a touch of diffusion to give them a slight glow.
From Wikipedia "The Selfridges department store forms part of the redeveloped Bullring shopping centre on the edge of the city centre, and was the only part of the new development designed by architects other than Benoy Ltd. (the firm responsible for masterplanning the scheme). The building is a prime example of the early 21st century movement referred to as "blobitecture", and has been compared to Peter Cook's Kunsthaus in Graz, Austria, who in a 2004 interview discussing his work and Future Systems said he would "rather be with the Blobbies than the Boring Farts!""
NB : Thanks for all your comments and faves. After two years on Flickr this has to be one of my most popular images. Still no sign of Explores Magic Donkey though !

Possibly my favourite photo of the exterior of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona by Richard Meier and Partners.
When I was at Architectural School 15 years ago Richard Meier was deeply unfashionable amongst Lecturers (and most students). I'm not sure if that's changed now ?
