Everything seems to be standing to attention for the photograph, including the threes. I like the combination of technology and nature. Usually they seem in opposition, but here they are working together, as it were.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob.. I liked the contrast between the stained concrete of the modern building and the pristine brickwork of the older. It helped that the light was so wonderful.

 

[Dave Farnes]

A classic observatory. I se what you mean about the contrast, it seems to be ageing far better than the modern builing. Well observed.

 

[Brian Moore]

The light is indeed very nice in this one, Pete. The observatory really pops out.

 

[Pete Askew]

The light was especially good on the day. Perfect even.
