Facade

Just off Oxford Street in central London down an alleyway on the way to the Photographers Gallery you will find this facade. An abstract on a grand scale. Layered reflective strips creating a fractured surrealistic impression of neighbouring properties. A one-off, fascinating building to which I will return.

About LensScaper

Hi - I'm a UK-based photographer who started out 45+ years ago as a lover of landscapes, inspired by my love of outdoor pursuits: skiing, walking and climbing. Now retired, I seldom leave home without a camera and I find images in unexpected places and from different genres. I work on the premise that Photography is Art and that creativity is dependent on the cultivation of 'A Seeing Eye'.

      London is a fascinating place to take pictures. At first glance sometimes, one views its development and thinks: more of the same. But when I really get down into the detail there is such variety. And I’ve never seen anything quite like this

    I love this image, Andy! When I first saw it in passing I thought it was water … but what a delightful surprise it was to realize it was another element altogether (air!).

    It looks like it’s made from the world’s best-ever, large-scale, reflective Popsicle sticks!
