Arts

I'm posting this so that I don't have to watch the hockey - we have to draw to go through to the semis and so far we're 1-0 up and I don't want to jinx it. @jannaellen will recognise this place on the Sidgwick Site of the University. The Arts Departments are based there and there are quite a lot of architecturally significant buildings - unlike the science areas which are a hotchpotch of different styles - improving recently but in the sixties they seemed to throw up some horrors.

Looks like the Barbican. Cool shot

[Judith Greenwood]

@jannaellen - I can't remember which department!

[Alison Tomlin]

Cool lines and processing. I'm coming down around the 11th Sept. btw.

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Oooh - should be around then. Keep me posted and see if they let you out long enough for a beer. Lancs & Yorks owning these Olympics ATM!

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg Its true - and there's still a Leeds lass in the boxing I think.

[Pat Knowles]

Love these lines & oblongs, I think it has a very pleasing ambiance. funny I said to Harry today all the medal winners nearly all live in the north of England! Must be the air. If ever I am watching a game or match & my side is doing Ok I can't watch as I think it will jinx them! good Luck to our hockey players.

[Antonio Vigil]

love the lines and perspectives!

[ShanneW]

I wondered about the South Bank when I saw it - great composition and lines

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

Lovely!

[Phil Howcroft]

i quite like this bit of uni architecture judith...not everyone's cup of tea i know....but i always like a bit of urban architecture / buildings...reminds me of my 'Arnold library shot' i did earlier in the year :) ...urban grittiness :)

[Gerry]

very nice photo Judith.

[ShadowDancer]

Stunning lines and perspective! Love the diagonal stairs.

[bernadette mcelligott]

very nice, looks a bit sci fi to me. I am not watching any of the Olympics I'm afraid.

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

Euch! The Sidgwick Site. Not the scene of my happiest Cambridge memories!

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

Very effective picture though.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great angles and shapes. It works well in B&W, too.

[Judith Greenwood]

@cgould I've only ever walked through there three times in 25 years - I was praying the dog wouldn't stop for a poo!

[Laura Thornton]

Lovely architectural shot. Love the stairs seemingly floating there.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the near symmetry of the background and how the stairs break it up. Well seen. :)

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh I love this one - the angles, lines it's all so nice

[Maggiemae]

You have the ground so nice and pale to go with the black silhouettes!

[Darren Burch]

Some great lines, wonderful composition:)

[Jane Pittenger]

wonderful lines, proecessing, exposure, contrast

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg So did you see that if Yorkshire was an independant nation we'd be 11th in the medal table! With lancs too we'd probably beat France.

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast I did - I believe they were 7th at one point! And my sister was giving Leeds Uni the credit for the triathlon??

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg Ah yes I think he quit Cambridge to study at Leeds.

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Yeah - no Sports Science in Cambridge - bet we're still 'claiming' him though!

[Janna E.]

Of course, I recognize this place. You made it look much more beautiful than it is though. A really artsy shot!

[samantha]

Very cool shot, love your processing =)

[Barbara Paquette]

Certainly out of the box for you! Well done!

[Juliette Packham]

great light and tones in this and good lines too - like it!

[Michael Elliott]

Very cool and artsy perspective.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

What a cool shot! Like it!

[Lara Zinn]

[Jackie Björnert]

Amazing shapes, lines and proportions.

[bmnorthernlight]

fantastic shapes and contrast!
