Little Boxes

Part of the frontage of the Grand Burstin Hotel, Folkestone, the outline of which was designed to resemble the prow of a ship. Playing catch up for the Flash of Red February, theme Architecture/Man Made week.

I have had conversations with my daughter, more versed in architecture than me, about the similarities between ocean liners and apartment blocks. I like your photo.

[Sally Ings]

As soon as I saw your title, the song "Little boxes" popped into my head.

[Lynda McG]

Can't see the ship but great image

[David]

The prow of a ship? Perhaps I haven't seen many ships lately!

[Carole Sandford]

The song popped into my head too! Also can’t see the ship. Lots of repetition.

[Kathy]

They hotels made like this on our coast. The set back windows are so everybofy can have an ocean view. I do like the lines and repetition of windows.

[Jane Pittenger]

I don’t see the prow but like the repeating shapes and lines

[Walks @ 7]

Can't say that I've ever learned to appreciate brutalist architecture.

[Peter H]

I like the geometry. Faded glory?

@lostphojo @jgpittenger Perhaps I should have said the shape of a cruise liner rather than the prow of a ship as it's not very clear from this shot. Looking at this shot again and the picture I used today, prow was the wrong word to use!

[FBailey]

@peadar it is looking a little the worse for wear these days ...

[FBailey]

@joysabin I've not heard that expression before, will definitely remember it!

@lyndamcg @carole_sandford This is only a section of the hotel. If you have time to look at today's submission, you might see the outline of a ship:)
