The carpet in the former Bridgeton Public Library (now the Glasgow Women's Library) in the East End of the city, featuring the nearby Bridgeton Cross Shelter which was created by the Sun Foundry in 1874. There can't be many other libraries with carpets featuring a local A-listed historic structure!

Dieses Foto zeigt die Fassade eines Hochhauses, die aus einer steilen Aufsicht fotografiert wurde. Die Architektur wirkt durch die Perspektive besonders dynamisch. Die Fassade besteht aus horizontalen, wellenförmigen Elementen, die sich rhythmisch wiederholen. Die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie betont die geometrischen Muster und Kontraste der Struktur. Licht und Schatten erzeugen Linien und Kurven.

This photograph shows the façade of a high-rise building, photographed from a steep overhead angle. The perspective makes the architecture appear particularly dynamic. The façade consists of horizontal, wave-like elements that repeat rhythmically. The black-and-white photography emphasises the geometric patterns and contrasts of the structure. Light and shadow create lines and curves. — Dieses Foto zeigt die Fassade eines Hochhauses, die aus einer steilen Aufsicht fotografiert wurde.

Charles Rennie MacKintosh's House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Designed for a competition run by a German design magazine (Zeitschrift für Innendekoration) in 1901, it wasn't constructed until the 1990s, almost 70 years after Mackintosh's death in 1928.

Late Friday night / early Saturday morning in Boston, still with a lot of snow on the ground. #photography #architecture #Boston #night #Massachusetts #skyscrapers

A pathway through the snow, lit yellow by streetlights, cuts between rows of snow-topped houses that are still dark before the sun rises.

The pre-dawn yellow sky reflects on the upper part of a glass skyscraper.

The tops of two skyscrapers at night, one thin and dark and the other broader, brighter, and topped with arched structures.

Finally, a valid use may have been found for generative AI.

This site will take an architect's beautiful, utopian image of what their wonderful new building/park/plaza will look like, and the AI will try to imagine what it will actually look like on a cold, damp, miserable winter's day.

An architect's render of a modern urban park. It show a beautiful sunny day, with a multitude of trees producing foliage in various shades of green, and lots of shiny happy people (all of them white, naturally) lounging around, creating giant soap bubbles, and otherwise thoroughly enjoying their delightful new surroundings.

The AI has taken that architects' drawing and rendered the scene with near photographic reality. This time the trees have all lost their leaves, the grassy areas are dull and muddy, and there are rain puddles on the pathways. And because the trees are leafless the uninspiring buildings behind the park are far more visible, they had previously been drawn in pastel colours to de-emphasise them on the architects' version.

Oh, and because the weather is lousy there are no people in the park at all. — The AI has taken that architects' drawing and rendered the scene with near photographic reality.

Welcome to York, one of England's oldest cities.

Roman history, medieval streets, a massive cathedral, ancient buildings, this city has it all. I can't believe it's been 12 years since I last visited.

There's LOADS more images from this day. View them all here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2026/1/31/york-north-yorkshire-winter 👍

A high-angle, wide-view shot captures the historic Shambles in York, where narrow, cobbled streets are lined with overhanging timber-framed buildings. In the foreground, a man in a green puffer jacket walks past a shop window, while further down the lane, several people stroll along the uneven pavement. To the right, the dark green storefront of W. Hamond, "The Original Whitby Jet Shop," stands out with its gold lettering. Above the street, traditional hanging signs for "Little Shambles Jewellers" and "Monk Bar Chocolatiers" add to the medieval atmosphere. The timber-framed structures lean towards each other over the narrow alleyway under a pale blue sky, creating a sense of enclosed history.

A low-angle shot captures the sun-drenched ruins of St Mary's Abbey in York, with the crumbling stone walls rising from a frost-dusted green lawn. In the foreground, large, weathered stone blocks and the bases of former columns sit amongst the grass, leading the eye towards the main structure. The remaining abbey wall features tall, slender columns and elegant Gothic arches that frame the bright blue sky. Warm, golden sunlight hits the pale stone, casting long shadows across the ground and highlighting the intricate carvings still visible on the ruined masonry. Bare trees stand in the background under a soft morning light, enhancing the tranquil and historic atmosphere of the site.

A dramatic low-angle shot looks up at the towering west front of York Minster, its pale limestone facade glowing under a bright, clear sky. The intricate Gothic architecture is showcased through soaring twin towers, ornate stone carvings, and the massive Great West Window with its delicate tracery. In the foreground, a traditional black Victorian-style street lamp stands prominently to the left, positioned behind a wrought-iron fence. At the base of the cathedral, several small figures of people walk across the paved square, dwarfed by the sheer scale of the minster. The low sun casts long, soft shadows across the ground, highlighting the textures of the masonry and the grand arched entrances of this historic English landmark.

A wide-angle evening shot captures the charming corner of Stonegate's Original Teddy Bear Shop in York, housed in a historic timber-framed building with a jettied upper floor. The shopfront features a bright red door and large multi-paned windows filled with soft toys, framed by festive green garlands and twinkling fairy lights. A life-sized, furry brown bear statue stands on the pavement outside the entrance, welcoming passers-by. Above the corner post, a peculiar carved wooden figure, known as the 'Little Admiral', is attached to the beam, while a traditional hanging sign for the shop dangles from the wall. The narrow, cobbled street stretches into the distance under a deep blue twilight sky, with the warm glow from neighbouring shop windows and overhead Christmas lights reflecting off the damp flagstones as a few pedestrians stroll past.
