Front view of the Senedd with wide angle lens - stunning building but surprisingly hard to get really good photos of.

More, more...! :-)
A Richard Rogers' design, with references to Fuller's Dymaxion's House !
It tags well along E.T.'s Energy discussions... :-)

Re: Cardiff Bay (4.00 / 3)

It does actually. I've wanted to diary this building properly for a long time both from the architectural and eco friendly perspective and also because the design of the building is hugely symbolic of our unique political environment in Wales.

Re: Cardiff Bay (4.00 / 2)

Are these photoshopped? Since when do you have such blue skies in the U.K.? ;)

Re: Cardiff Bay (4.00 / 4)

I'm looking at a similar blue sky right now. Less of your cheek, young man.

Re: a couple more (4.00 / 2)

Yes and I do have interior shots too but I want to go back inside the public gallery and take photos there which I didn't do last time. It is only down the road.

Please... :-)
And with views of the central "mushroom like" ventilation column if you can... (As it seems it's the main purpose of the design)!
