They cut some windows out of the immense concrete walls of the silo and renamed it Waterfront House.

#BathUK #Scape #Landscape #Cityscape #Architecture #Reflections #Photography

Former industrial buildings are reflected in the calm waters of the River Avon. The water is dotted with what seem to be the petals of fruit trees. Waterfront House, formerly Camden Malthouse and Silo. The 1913 silo, which had a wall of almost solid concrete, was converted to offices and apartments, with glazing and cantilevered additions, in the late 20th century. The building is considered a good example of re-use. Lower Bristol Road, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A partial skyline of a low-density city with four spires in the distance. The view is framed by a blank grey wall on the left and diagonal lines of an open-air escalator's handrail on the right. The sky is bright blue and features a line of stratocumulus clouds. Westgate Shopping Centre, Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Once there was hope, now there are AirBnB apartments.

A church building in a terrace. A pair of arched doorways (though the doors have been replaced by plate glass windows) with a Corinthian column between them, above which is a round window and a shallow pediment. The second level has a trio of windows, the middle having a smaller Corinthian column as a mullion. Below the window ledges, the yellow limestone has the name Hope Chapel carved into it. The pediment has "United Methodist" on the ascending diagonal and "Free Churches" descending. The facade dates back to the 1860s, though the building is older than that. The Methodists vacated the premises in 1913, and now there are flats, most of which seem to be available as short-term holiday rentals. Lower Borough Walls, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A wide-angle photo of a round cornered, green-hued, glass panelled building. Behind the glazed facade is a stone tower-like structure with small circular windows. The edifice stands on a corner and is encircled by black bollards. On the right, a Georgian townhouse is clad in scaffolding and orange netting. Beau Street, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Love it, Andreas! Where is it?! What building is it?

Gearóid | Garrowed @garrowed.bsky.social · 3d

For neater results, I recommend using a drill.

A wide-angle photo taken in a narrow lane lined by two Georgian oolite limestone buildings. Just ahead is a rounded, green-hued, glass panelled building. Behind the glazed facade is a stone structure with small circular windows. Further away, a townhouse is clad in scaffolding and orange netting.

Very kind, as always, Bob.

Coordinates: I often wish people would tell us where their photos were taken. So for my own, I take that concept to the extreme! You're only the third or fourth person to comment on them, BTW.

A facade of frameless green-tinted panelling, behind which is a stone structure with small circular windows. The building is in a strongly contemporary style in contrast to its Georgian surroundings, such as the chimney stack and windows reflected in the glass.

That is something I did not know, Sheena. Thanks! 😄

WINCH: #TagTuesday on the mean streets of Bath.

#StreetArt #BathUK #Photography

The back of a retail store features two large vents, a three panel window, and a loading bay with a folding shutter door. Above the bay is a simple flat canopy, and above that is some graffiti that reads "WINCH" in blocky white letters with black outlines. There are red splodges of paint at the top of the letterforms, with stylised drips descending from them. The initials SPS appear in a smaller size to the left, and to the right is the number 24. Wine Street, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Nice! Reminds me of a William Darkdrac painting I saw recently. www.itsnicethat.com/articles/wil...

William Darkdrac’s scratched and cracked airbrush paintings are a window to a haunted world

An oolitic limestone building featuring a 3 × 3 grid of tall, arched windows on its first through third floors. This rear entrance to a larger structure is set back from the street, and is preceded by steps in matching Bath stone. Through the glass panes we can see flights of stairs. The Old Walcot School from 1840 by James Wilson, converted to apartments in 2002. Guinea Lane, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Here's a poster that I designed for a concert on Thursday. If you're in or around Chicago, maybe you'd be interested …

#Music #Concert #Design #Posters #PosterDesign #Chicago #UChicago #RockefellerChapel

A layout for a poster promoting a classical music concert. In the centre of a plain orange background is a large stylised treble clef in white. Within the counter space of the symbol are three photographs: a sculpture of St Michael that appears over the doors of the venue, an interior shot with a choir in gowns being conducted, and a organist at work. The main heading reads "Rockefeller Chapel Choir Choral Evensong." Design by Gearóid Burke.

At the centre of a Palladian-style arcade of round arches, a dark passageway leads to an open gate—and another yellow, Bath stone building. A small tree and red flowers grow in a planter to the left. An off-white drainpipe is attached to the wall on the right. St John's Foundation, Chapel Court, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.
