If anyone can, Barbi-can
You know me, I can’t be at the Barbican and not take pictures of the actual Barbican. It’s too photogenic and it’s nigh on impossible to take bad photos there. So on my way out from the Jean Dubuffet exhibition I of course took some snaps.
I MUST do one of the architectural tours here when they start again. I want to know everything.
Stood and watched the fountain drops in the fountain basin for a little while. Like you do.
I also marvelled at the typical mishmash of London architecture. I mean…
Love these balconies so much.
And I also love how you can see the Barbican Towers from most vantage points in London. They don’t look anything else in the city. Apparently they weren’t supposed to look like this originally (they were to be regular square towers, but as they were to be made of concrete and not metal framed, they had to be designed like this with the structural supports beams on the exterior. I for a millisecond just now thought that maybe it would be cool to move into a flat when we downsize as old diddies, but then I saw how much the flats go for! As if.
Hello lady in red.
It started raining at this point. I wonder if I can get down to this garden or if it’s for residents only. I’ll investigate next time I go, and report back.
