Two large modern buildings in London, about a mile apart.
One is wet inside, the other rather steep at the ends.

The first benefits from having an odd shape. It’s hard not to compare them. The second less arresting. But both are good, thoughtful shots.

Interesting studies of architectural detail, Dave. What do you mean "one is wet inside?"

I was wondering if anyone could hazard a guess as to which buildings they are. Seen on TV all over the world a few years ago.

O2?

Not the O2, these two buildings are newer than that.

O3?

I don't know, but from what you say, I reckon the first is something to do with Olympic swimming events. Great pic, by the way Dave.

Hence “wet inside”. I think we have a winner!

Well done Chris! The first is the Olympic aquatics centre, the second is the velodrome.
The velodrome is huge, those are full size trees in this view:

I missed the chance of winning, but at least I got to see the images and I really like their geometric abstract quality. Very nice indeed.
