Yes, I can understand how controversial, architecture is a design of buildings… and even to design the city… And architects want to create something new, not seen before… The most important thing in this point, is it in the balance with nature or with city and another important thing, is it useful for people… Sorry for my language, by the way 🙂 I hope I can explain well. In your photograph, actually the new black building seems in contrast, especially with the old buildings behind it. How sad for these old buildings… they have almost lost… On the other hand, what I see mostly in your photograph, the black building and red ship! They are both so impressive, and hits… I loved the photograph, but I don’t like the modern buildings… Thank you dear Stephen, love, nia
🙂
Of course, your perception of the older buildings is heavily influenced by my choice of framing/focal length etc. From the position that I took this one, the older buildings are indeed masked, however a short walk would reveal them in all their glory.
Personally, I love new buildings, especially those that push boundaries, it seems to make a place more alive and not just a museum. 😉
…. 🙂 I can live in a museum 🙂 But should be everything old, the museum building too… I think, I am older…
The media museum in Bradford, UK would be the museum for me. I think I get my ‘fix’ old buildings from the parish churches I visit.
Another picture not showing to me.
Interesting. I was having a few problems and now they seem to have been cured. My solution was to delete all the cookies related to wordpress that were in my browser – of course that meant I had to log on again but it seems to have done the job. Are you getting similar problems on other blogs – I was which was most disconcerting.
Hi. I am finding similar problems on other blogs that I follow. I have deleted cookies on my computer once when I was having problems with my own blog. I don’t understand why it should only be happening to a few.
Exasperating I found. i can only think that somewhere along the way I picked up a ‘rogue’ cookie on a blog and it’s been interfering with things. In the old days I would have got to the bottom of it – nowadays, I’m afraid, if the problem is fixed …. that’ll do me!
Yes, I agree. Everything is becoming so complex and time consuming and time is a finite resource.
Weird reaction this end; I find i want to edit the odd angles and linear perspective to the black building… pull it straight!
I do love building that seem to play with perspective. 🙂

Super shot, and wasn’t it good of them to moor that, presumably retired, lightship just there. For me, it adds more to what would have been a good architectural image anyway.
Believe it or not the lightship is now a bar!
Sounds like a valuable use!
I rather like the buildings. They make me think of dry docked ships. Very fitting as they contrast with the smooth lines of water. BTW. Thanks for stopping by the Edge of Blue.
I think there is a element to that interpretation in their design.
