    Love it or hate it, it’s very artistic, especially up close and personal like this.

      I like the building, it’s grown on me. It’s just a pity it ran so far over budget – like any major work carried out in the UK…

    really crisp. i especially like the contrasting tones, the greys with the goldie bronze.

    Not all projects go over budget, you know! None of mine ever did…

    It looks like a madman designed it. I hate it.

    But it is beautifully photographed… :-)

    ummm, this shot is amazing! the building. interesting.

    p.s., we use the same wordpress theme. i’ve had it for a couple years now but wonder how it is that you were able customize your post column to be larger than the widgets. i’m sure it must be some ccs or html fancy formatting stuff (which may be over my head)—but please do tell!

    best!

      Thanks, sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, I’ve modified the CSS as follows:

      .postcontent,.results {
      width:900px;
      overflow:hidden;
      margin:10px 0;
      padding:0;
      }

      #container {
      width:1150px;
      }

      .full .postcontent {
      width:900px;
      }

      #left h2.title {
      background:none;
      margin:10px 0;
      padding:0 0 15px;
      }

      #header p {
      float:left;
      width:200px;
      color:#999;
      font-size:11px;
      line-height:11px;
      margin:2px;
      }

      #left img {
      max-width:900px;
      }

      #right {
      margin-left:200px;
      }

      #menu {
      display:none;
      }

      #page {
      width:1150px;
      }

      #search {
      display:none;
      }

      #s.ipt-keywords {
      width:160px;
      }

      .textwidget {
      padding-top:15px;
      }
