Edinburgh 2011 — A Dream in Masonry and Living Rock
05March2011
Robert Louis Stevenson described the city as "a dream in masonry and living rock"; the quote seemed apt as I wandered the city's streets for a few days in early March 2011, everywhere the influence of the mountains and their exposed rock and the dark local stone that looks so different to the other western European cities I'm used to.
Reims 2011 — A City That Never Was
17February2011
Revisited Reims in February 2011; snapped photos of a few familiar sights, and many unfamiliar, the city going through a process of renewal that tries to establish a false history for itself.

London — Contemporary Architecture 2011
11January2011
The City of London visitor centre had a brochure with a walking tour of the city, highlighting a whole lot of contemporary architecture; the Gherkin is particularly well-known (and I've included it in a couple of the photos), but the city is full of new developments (plenty of building sites too), and it's some really interesting architecture, especially beautiful when set against the City's really old buildings too.
