Drain Pipe Cornered...

On the north side of Bryanston Street London W1 we find a church with some rather interesting corners.

Take a close look at the beautiful brick work and notice the boxed drain pipe (lead) and the wonderful rose labelled brackets hold the drain pipe in place.

The Corner Shot...

On Reflection...

I haven't really looked at the corners created by the many glass buildings that we find in London but this one certainly is a little different for the corner isn't  perfect until you get up above the 10/12ft mark and then the building reverts to the 90 degree corner.

Glass though is a material that turns many buildings into real life movie screens with many people catching a glimpse of themselves or if you drive a little in the capital I find them great at checking my brake/fog lights work correctly.

The Corner Shot...

Red Bricks/Grey Slabs...

We are at the corner of Howland and Whitfield Street just off London's Tottenham Court Road and we have a most beautiful raised corner made of red bricks and grey paving slabs.

A question for you all how many corners do you see ? Well the answer should be in the hundreds for the bricks making up either side of the wall displays four the grey slabs have corners and then the wall itself forms a rather lovely corner with pointed lines of mortar holding the hold pile of nicely tied in bricks in place.

I must say that the red bricks have formed a near perfect vertical line with the odd rough edge.

We've given the world wide web bollards can we now give the web a corner or two to look at.

The Corner Shot...

We're back with a beauty...

The Corner Shot is back with a stunning picture/shot of a beautiful corner at Queen Square and Boswell Street WC.1.

The horizontal and vertical lines of this building and windows make a very pleasing corner to the eye coupled with the magnolia and red brick colour clash that sets this building/corner off for me.

The street signs though show a time and era that is different to the one we live in today with Boswell Street displaying the "borough of holborn" and Queen Square in a near dark opaque blue.

Welcome to the Corner shot...

We're Back...

After a lot of thought and deliberation plus a conversation with an amazing graduate from Slade/UCL I' ve decided to bring back the blog "the corner shot".

Please keep an eye out for many more interesting corners...

Stone Corner...

Here we have a stone corner which forms part of the support structure of Vauxhall Bridge.

Notice how the wall/corner is discoloured by the Thames water which this far upstream would be a mixture of salt and fresh water. This is a very simple grey/green corner with vertical/horizontal lines of the stone blocks that form the structure to support the bridge/embankment.

The Clash of Colours...

Well this corner certainly tests your eye sight but in a very odd way it works...

If you happen to be walking up or down Bermondsey Street SE1 you can't miss this building for it and many others have chosen paint jobs that remind us of a georgian past or like this corner of the very bright present.

The pink and orange certainly clash but the black just looks out of place however the blend works...maybe this is because of the grey paving slabs ?

Cornered...

Here we are at the junction or should I say corner of Arundel Street and Temple Place WC2 near Victoria Embank-ment.

This is a beautiful corner for we see the wonderful horizontal lines created by the brickwork enhanced further by the sun light which is gleaming down on Temple Place. The near perfect verticle line created by the contrast between the two walls is just majestic and only further enhanced by the boxed shaped drain pipe on the right hand wall of Temple Place. What I do like though is the iron fence/railing has a propoer corner too and with a little better camera work from me we could have got a really good shot of both corners....one day.

Bricks...

With the advent of glass has a material used to make buildings what a throw back to the past this corner is in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

In fact this corner is part of a wall to a National Grid Gas Holder site on Imperial Road near London's trendy Chelsea Harbour.

The corner though is a rather robust brick column with two walls extending outwards. I do love the street sign on the left hand wall letting us know of the whereabouts of Imperial Square. The bricks though look old even dirty but they have character and strength.

This corner is certainly in need for a little bit of a repair and a bit of pointing too.
