Can we have museums and galleries next week? I have some lovely pics of der Neue Pinakothek in Munich from yesterday which is an absolutely lovely building.. took more pictures of the building than the artwork (which was also ace btw).

Sir, we ARE entitled to it.. haha

Nimis is a huge wooden structure built by an artist on the coast near to Angelholm, in Skane, Southern Sweden. Pics dont do it justice.

Edit. Oops 😳

Try again!

The beach huts at Wells-next-the-Sea. One of the greatest games of adolescence was climbing onto the roof of a beach hut at one and then jumping roof to roof to the other end. Some jumps were too far so you had to jump down and climb up the other side.

This game was seldom played sober and most often in the dark. There were several minor injuries and I believe once there was a roof collapse. He was a big lad and had trouble climbing back out.

Similarly, Bewilderwood in Norfolk:

I really love the burnt finish on this one (it’s charred cedar). There’s loads about it here:

Iron Age house

Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court (now the Supreme Court). I prefer the grimy forboding crim court to the current spruced up state. They’ve kept the wood though.

Sticks

Patrick Doughery’s things made from sticks. The sticks aren’t woven or wired together and they’re not growing, they are just sort of flexed against each other, all in tension.

And they remind me of this

St George’s Cathedral – Guyana

The world’s tallest wooden building, built by a mental Russian gangster

Holborn’s The Lamb

Another shot of the Great Barn in Bradford-on-Avon. All these old tythe barns have fantastic timber roof structures. A bugger to photograph properly, tho’

Here’s a sweet little timber church, St Mary & St Nicholas, Sandy Lane, Wiltshire:

Interior:

Sorry I am hopeless at putting up pictures, these are of the sports hall in Joensuu, enormous wooden thing. Breathtaking 😀
