Survivor by Gary Allman

Detail of the only surviving structure of Christ Episcopal Church, Bay St Louis.

The other church buildings were washed away by a 30′ storm surge when hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi coast on August 29 2005. The storm left 238 people dead and 67 missing in Mississippi alone.

St Judes, Southsea

St Judes Southsea by Gary Allman

I find this modern sculpture rather menacing. There are two of them, one at either end of the shopping precinct. 

The sculpture is meant to represent the breaking sea – and not a claw which is more how it appears to me.

University of Southampton – Building 29

University of Southampton – Building 29 by Gary Allman

Saw this while stretching my legs this afternoon, the sun was just going down, tracking up the side of the building.

I’m trying to get back into the habit of climbing the stairs of this building twice a day. It’ll do wonders for my legs but nothing for my waistline.

Royal Mail Sorting Office / Post Office, Slindon Street, Portsmouth

Royal Mail Sorting Office / Post Office, Slindon Street, Portsmouth UK

Not very subtle architecture… But I did love the way the sky was reflected in the windows and glass.

As this picture seems to get a lot of interest from people searching for information on the Slindon Street Sorting Office, the links below should take you to the official Royal Mail web sites.
