51.75454, -1.25970 Nice colour palette #TagTuesday #AOFoto #ColorADay #BlueTue #Oxford #Photography

A plain, navy blue door with a sign reading "Fire exit" and "Keep clear" has been almost covered with a plethora of tags—and only tags, not other messages. The colours used (yellow, pink, light and bright blues, white, and a blast of orange on the door handle) make for a pleasant colour palette. The door is surrounded by cast concrete with some oriented strand board (OSB) to the right. The board features a large tag reading TUTTO painted vertically in blocky letters with each at a 40˚ angle. Also to the right is the back of an abandoned white refrigeration appliance. Friar's Entry, Oxford, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

An aged industrial building features a wicket gate—a small door within a larger door—with a white sign reading "DANGEROUS BUILDING KEEP OUT" set in Helvetica without punctuation. Painted above the doors is "NEWARK WORKS" but in this photograph, NEWARK and the S have been cropped out. The riverside frontage of the 19th century Stothert & Pitt engineering works.

A freestanding brick facade with tall arches in silhouette. At the centre of the image, the early morning sun peeks through an empty arch. A lens flare is visible to the left. The somewhat dark sky features numerous vapour trails that align nicely with the structure's walls. At the former Bayer corset factory, Lower Bristol Road, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

51.37990, -2.36067 Triple lark's tongue #BathUK #UrbanGaze #ColorADay #YellowThu #GeorgianArchitecture #Photography

A wide-angle photograph of a corner of a two-story Georgian building made from Bath oolitic limestone. The building stands on one side of a narrow street, so the corner was likely chamfered to minimise the damage that wide horse-drawn carts and carriages might do to the structure as they took the corner. The back of the Gainsborough Building at the junction of Lower Borough Walls and Bilbury Lane, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A close up of the brickwork seen in the previous image. Where a chamfered corner transitions to a sharp right-angle it would be called a lark's tongue. This example is unusual in that it does so in three steps. The Gainsborough Building, Lower Borough Walls and Bilbury Lane, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A scene from a railway station "transfer deck" with dark grey ceiling panels and dark grey floor tiles. A wall of tall floor-to-ceiling windows stretch across the expansive space, looking out to a verdant townscape and two high-rise buildings under construction. Above the windows are a series of skylights, lined with bright blue cladding. Two silhouetted figures bulging shoulder bags walk towards the light, another walks towards the camera, and a lone figure to the left has a handset held to their head as they look out of the windows. A person with a beverage in their hand has arrived at the top of the escalators on the right. Reading Railway Station, Berkshire, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A pair of spectacles with clear glass lenses and thin, black, round(ish) frames. The glasses stand on a white tabletop and a shaft of low, early morning sunlight crosses the otherwise dark tabletop, creating long shadows. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Eyewear and shadows, as per the previous image in this series, but rotated. The light in this case is screened through the leaves of an oleander tree. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

Glasses, seen from above, stand in a long horizontal band of sunlight. The thin frames cast long shadows and the light shining through the glass lenses creates bright oval shapes. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A digital collage of the three previous photographs in this series. The images were simply layered over each other with screen blending applied, then that composite was inverted. Collage by Gearóid Burke.

A large translucent blue graphic with multiple cutouts has been applied to a window. Through the gaps we see a courtyard in a modern two-storey building, with raised flowerbeds and evergreen archways. At the centre of the image, through a circular aperture in the cyan-coloured film, is a water feature with a five-piece sculpture of a diving figure by sculptor Sophie Dickens.

Underneath a curvy pedestrian bridge with its exposed "Vierendeel" trusses and the underside of its timber deck. Where the bridge meets the embankment, a barrier with gate has incorporated into the structure, perhaps just to stop people/animals getting stuck in the tight space. Quays Bridge, Bath, UK.

Behind a wrought-iron gate with pointed spear finials is a grand Georgian building with a central pediment featuring a carved stone coat of arms. Its doorway has another pediment (on Ionic half columns) and another coat of arms. A white security alarm box in the top left corner has a six-digit phone number that became obsolete in 1995.
