Summer Heat

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 4 September 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

You've probably guessed that this isn't a photo from the UK!

This is from the Île de Ré which is an island halfway down the atlantic coast of France.

Another more unusual shot for you, Ian! Really nice composition. Reminds me a bit of the works of GJC.

Lin Yanle from Singapore

the clouds are... of the same tone as the wall. yet there is the stark contrast between something strong and rectilinear against something so fluid and temporal. it is very interesting.
