Some very nice pictures there, Dianne. Thanks.

Here's some post-modern architecture.

What's to like about Epping Forest Council Offices? The way the scale of the building relates to the older house on the left, and the way, centred on the arch, there is a balance between the tower and the rotunda, even though there's no symmetry:-





The tower and rotunda may not be breath-taking, but up close you can see little details indicating how they have been thought out with great care. Check out the little yellow-framed window thing at the bottom of the tower; vertically, it follows the line of the other tower windows, but is positioned precisely half-way between the brick and the stone, so that it slightly resembles the small square windows over on the rotunda. That's clever and pleasing to the eye on an undramatic scale - rather like the typical Victorian houses, so common across England that they get overlooked:-
