Bankside Window

    Newer Older

    More of the Tate Modern. Seems amazing now that it opened just seven short years ago - in 2000. The original building was Bankside Power Station and was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed Battersea Power Station and the famous red telephone box. There's something about his style I really like - that ultilitarianism blended with a feel for scale and just a hint of art deco.

      Superb capture, reminds me of the grand central Station classic of 1920s NYC!

      Thanks David - I know the one you mean and it's a lovely shot. I did another version of this too - portrait format, see below.
