Circling the Golden Palace

Wide Angle Wednesday: Architecture

We are not short of great architecture in this part of the world - Bristol has some interesting buildings and Bath is on our doorstep and chock full of fine architectural heritage.  

However, this is a shot of the new Civic Centre development in nearby Keynsham.  The site houses offices for the local council as well as the library, a performance hall, various retail outlets and a restaurant/bar.  The locals have already nicknamed it the Golden Palace.  I suspect that it will not wear well, but it provided a good blip opportunity this warm and humid evening.

Its a little sad here tonight, Jess is off back to St Petersburg to take up her intern post at the Hermitage so we won't have a young person around to liven up our lives for a few months.  

I shall have to start behaving disgracefully instead ....

Thanks go again to JDO for kindly agreeing to host the challenge this week - she's been a very busy lady on the challenge front recent. 

...And while I remember, here's a plug for Youoregon1's Abstract Thursday challenge. I shall be having a go, feel free to join in too if it floats your boat.   There's a link to his page with more information here.
