Wow you really shot the difference between old and new architecture in the first picture! Imperial War Museum North really nice building! Very nice!

I like the shot in your first post in the top right hand side, it almost looks like a rendering. Mind my ignorance but what is the purpose of those protruding pieces on the facade?

I don't know for sure but I've seen similar 'fins' used to cut down eddy currents in the airflow around a building.....maybe this is the same reason in this building, due to it's rather smooth, featureless facade?? Just speculating....:D

Good speculation, was thinking that as well, but then thought arent they too small for that, and then I thought what the hell do I know :)

My favorite "Imperial War Museum North".

Very nice shots! Thank you.

Not to be a pain...but the post would probably work better as seperate posts of each building. It would also help people later on find them.

Nice pictures.
