Dramatic entrance

Many thanks to you for looking and commenting - the time you take to do so and your kindness are always very much appreciated.

This is the way into the newish Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury. Viewed from the front, the pebbly canopy looks like a weird eyelid over the top of the revolving door.

I went back to Aylesbury today to do a bit of shopping.

Interesting shot of what I am sure is an attractive building seen from an angle that shows it to advantage, but I get an undomfortable feeling that somebody is going to smash his/her skull on that eyelid or trip over the little triangle at the bottom if they carelessly approach it at an angle in the dark or half-light. But it's art.

@wordpixman It's very well lit in the evening and far enough off the natural thoroughfare that I don't think it poses a problem. Local opinion about the overall look of the building is divided. :-)

It does look very unusual but interesting. Have you been inside the building ?. I wonder what the decor is like.

You pegged that well - it does look like an eyelid! Interesting thought. Love the detail to the building - this made an unusual picture.

Handsome looking building. Yes, it's like a giant eye. You've taken it from a perfect angle.

It looks like when those two people step inside, it will snap shut!

Interesting looking building and great work on the composition. Cool textures of the pebbled roof.

A reptillian eye is what comes to mind! I'm curious as to what the rest of this building is like.

@hamble I'm thinking of doing a montage of different views of it sometime - it's got quite a varied structure. I did a night view of part of it (above the entrance) back in March : http://365project.org/dulciknit/365/2012-03-15
