Ok so, last week was stuff local to you, this week, how about stuff you’ve seen on your travels; holidays, work trips, anything. And as usual, not so much of the obvious, but maybe the lesser known and unnoticed stuff. Buildings that have caught your attention and imagination. So, could be a little church, or a railway station, or some industrial complex. Anything really.
I rarely venture outside the M25, as you all know, but I have seen the odd thing of occasion…
Not just one building I know but lots, this is Porec in Croatia and its how many buildings can you fit in the smallest area possible, tiny cobbled streets and the church is 13th century
The hotel I’ve stayed in is on an island across the harbour and its where Edward used to take Mrs Simpson on hols
I loved Napier in New Zealand as the whole place was built in this beautiful Art Deco style. Like stepping back into a different era. One where things actually looked good. Its amazing

Sapporo Dome – floating football pitch which hovers in and out of the stadium through mahoosive doors. atmosphere inside (during a baseball match) was immense.
The Takikistan presidential palace. quite an impressive building, and at a cost of (reportedly) 7% of GDP, its a good job it looks impressive! (rather new, think it was finished last year)
way up north, like way, way up North, a few miles short of Cape Wrath, where the population density per sq. mile is lower than it is per sq. metre in the cities, the scenery is wild and barren, and the road looks like a ribbon dropped onto the landscape. And then you come across the Kylesku Bridge. It’s nothing great, just a simple beautiful curve in an otherwise chaotic landscape, and I think it’s absolutely beautiful
