Here are a few shots of the Metropolitan Life Tower located on Madison Avenue in New York.  Constructed in 1909 the tower was the tallest building in the world until 1913 when it was surpassed by the Woolworth building.

Here are a few shots of the Flatiron building which, alongside the Chrysler building, is one of my two favourite buildings In New York city.  Built in 1902 and 22 storeys high, the Flatiron was once the tallest skyscraper in New York.  Although dwarfed by modern skyscrapers, the Flatiron is architecturally stunning.

Here are a few shots of a shag in flight taken at the Staple Islands, Inner Farne.  Undoubtedly, one of my favourite shots of the day was the shag coming into land with seaweed in it’s beak.

Leadenhall Market – City of London

Having never really had a stroll around the City of London it was quite a surprise to find this Victorian market sitting amongst the prominent, modern high rise buildings.  The market, which dates back to the 14th century, is surprisingly quiet during the weekends, as like much of the immediate area is closed until the hustle and bustle of business returns on Monday morning.  The very unusual image showing the hanging books is by artist Richard Wentworth and is named the ‘False Ceiling’, which includes 1600 books.  This is a gem of a place and well worth visiting, particularly during the weekend.

Here are a few shots of the stunning architecture you will encounter around every corner in Venice.  Known as Venetian Gothic, it is typically a combination of the Byzantine style of that era, influences of Moorish Spain, and of course early forms of Gothic architecture from around Italy.
