Gorgeous spring evening by the Union Canal, the light picking out the varied colours of the house barges moored in front of these modern townhouses by the water, with the old Leamington Lift Bridge visible further along (upper left).

I've shot this in monochrome several times, but the colours of the boats in that lovely evening light needed full colour shooting.

Walking home from an event, fully night sky behind me, but the western sky still has that blue glow for quite a good while after the sun has set. Handheld shot with the phone, trying to brace it against a railing to steady the shot. This is one of the modern buildings tha sprang up around the edge of the Union Canal a few years back.

When contemplating this facade, I was immediately struck by this black structure with golden edges that seemed to float against the concrete, like a musical score etched into matter. I wanted to capture this duality between the mathematical rigor of the architecture and the almost poetic dimension created by the rhythmic repetition of elements.
The soft daylight allowed me to reveal the subtle variations of blue in the raw concrete, creating a cold yet living backdrop for these black blades with their warm edges. I chose a frontal, uncluttered framing to transform this portion of architecture into a visual abstraction close to painting.
In this quest for the essential, I sought to transcend the purely functional nature of the building to reveal its sculptural and meditative dimension. What fascinated me was the tension between the horizontality of the lines and the ascending movement of the whole - as if these black and gold strata were levitating, defying gravity and transforming concrete into a canvas for contemporary architectural calligraphy.

Office Building, Rokeby Street, Abottsford. Architect: Carr

When capturing this particular angle of the building, I wanted to highlight the dialogue between the cyan cylinders and the glass surface that reflects them. What fascinated me was how these structural elements cross the space like notes on a musical staff. The choice of this low-angle view accentuates the verticality and creates a visual tension between the immaculate sky and the geometric rigor of the architecture.
The cyan tint of the columns is no accident - it evokes both the coldness of metal and the fluidity of water, creating a striking contrast with the black surface that absorbs and transforms this color. I sought to capture a moment where architecture transcends its functionality to become an abstract composition, where each element finds its place in a perfect balance between structural rigor and visual poetry.

The modern fire station at the busy Tollcross area in central Edinburgh, in spring light and shadows. As you can imagine, this is an area that hears a lot of sirens!

Just across the road from the front of it is a large mural on the pavement honouring the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

the air smelled of yesterday.

Gare des Guillemins is my second contribution to my triptych of train stations. Like the previous one this abstract image is one of my favorite ones, but never presented here. So

Enjoy!

717 Bourke Street, Docklands. Architect: Metier 3

Walking around the Institut du Monde Arabe, I was drawn to how its famous facade catches the light. I wanted to isolate just one corner of the building against a dark background to highlight the intricate mechanical diaphragms that make this structure so unique.
By shooting from this angle and eliminating any context or sky, I tried to transform the familiar architectural landmark into something more abstract and graphic. The diagonal composition adds some dynamism to what would otherwise be a regular grid pattern.
What fascinates me about this building is how it merges technology with traditional Arabic design influences. These mechanical apertures aren't just decorative - they're functional elements that control light entering the building, inspired by traditional moucharabieh screens.
The subtle blue tones against the black background weren't planned but ended up enhancing the technical, almost sci-fi quality of the structure. Sometimes architecture is at its most interesting when viewed as pure pattern and texture rather than as a complete building.

This used to be part of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for decades. Now, revamped and remodelled, it is the Edinburgh Futures Institute, part of Edinburgh University, and also, since last summer, the new home of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the world's largest literary festival.

One of the first sunny and warm days of the spring, so people were understandably making the most of it and sitting outside the restaurants and cafes in Lister Square.

The Quartermile section of the city is built on the large site which used to house the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, now relocated to a modern campus at the Little France area on the edge of the city. It is a mixture of some of the old, stone, period buildings from the hospital, and some modern structures, including posh apartments, offices, hotels and restaurants and cafes.

The spring sunlight was gorgeous on this day, bright light and long, contrasting shadows,it was perfect for taking some monochrome architecture pics
