Interesting Buildings (6 Viewers)

Never seen it from this perspective, but there's lots of interesting buildings.
But what interests me, in a grumpy annoyed way, is the massive thing that looks an Easter Island statue, diminishing all the cool stuff around it. It's just rubbish.
Individual councils can grant their own planning permissions, but there needs to be joined up thinking. That's what a mayor is for.

Ouch.

It melted some guys Jag yeah.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the Grenfell thing has me and every other decent person sick to the core.

Irish friend asked if any Irish based Kingspan people might get prosecuted. Probably not.

On a lighter note, there is quite a lot in that picture.
I have noticed that two cranes have done a big X. Taller than everything around them.
I would like to think that the crane guys are big fans of wrestling. Or West Ham.

this could make for an interesting gaff.

This bank building in Belfast is maybe my favourite in Ireland of any public building. Buildings like it are ten a penny in NYC but the whole thing is so handsome looking.

i saw this building for the first time in i think 25 years recently. the view has changed a little, and that building seems unused.
