Thanks, Caroline. I'll keep them going for the time being 🙂

Thanks, Adam. Yes, the BT is one of the best buildings from the 1960s, and I think the new electronic display helps make it look, as you say, futuristic. Plus the last (actually only the second) time I went to a meeting there they were rotating the old restaurant area.I missed getting a picture of this! "In April 2019, the display spent almost a day displaying a Windows 7 error message." (Ref, Wikipedia)

Do keep going Michael!Your photos are really interesting and, as someone has already said, one can choose whether to look at them or not.

no problem from my pov, the title indicates what it is so we can choose to ignore them if we wish. with regard to the BT tower, it looks quite futuristic in that pic, it has stood the test of time far better than some buildings

Dunno Joe. I'm not sure that's really my call. I started posting them as what I thought was a harmless distraction during the first lockdown. They do sometimes promote discussion so should one think of a forum as just text based? It's easy to ignore them if you don't want to look, they're not hidden. Also, Sandi, who worked on the forum news has asked if she could use some of them in articles in the past, so I assume the forum organisers aren't unhappy with them.To be honest, if people want me to stop I don't mind.

Michael do you think your photos would be better served on Instagram as this is a forum and not a photo gallery shop?
