Hooray, it’s Monday again!
Why so pleased to start the week, I hear you ask. Well, because it means it’s The Cosmic Photo Challenge of course, today based on the prompt; Interesting buildings.
I have to admit the theme of this week’s challenge came to me at five o’clock on Friday morning, an hour into the four and a half hour drive to central London from Devon.
We had to travel to the American Embassy in Nine Elms, which is surrounded by the luxury high-rise, Thames-side apartments of Embassy Gardens, for a one hour passport renewal appointment, before driving the 250 miles back home.
Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day and the architecture was at its sparkly best. The Embassy itself, with its sculptural facade and two apartment blocks with an extraordinary glass swimming pool suspended between them, a dozen storeys high, were particularly impressive.

It is amazing what people can make with steel and glass. I didn’t realize that was a swimming pool in the fourth photo until you mentioned it. Beautiful architecture.

Yeah, it’s got to be a bit scary looking down through that pool to the street below
