Day 59 and a location I have known about for some time, but have never photographed. Certainly some unusual architecture which is out of context with its surroundings.
Panasonic DMC-G3
Lumix G Vario 14-45
Focal length 34 mm (68 mm @ 35 mm equivalent)
1/200 sec
f/4.5
ISO 160

Where is it? Feels almost like an abstract

It's an extremely exotic location. I travelled by car, minibus and finally foot to reach it, but this result made the efforts all worthwhile. And it's only in Croydon!

Cool, is it fair/accurate to say this one is a photographer's image?

Are you going to let on exactly where it is ?

I wondered that, noticed the question dodging!

I tested your hypothesis on that arbiter of good taste, Mrs F. The response which I got was "probably". Elucidating, she said that she thought it was a good photograph (do I take any other sort?
), but it did not evoke any emotions in her. On the other hand, the one which I have coming up for today, also possibly a "photographer's photograph", provoked a really positive response. Based on this non random sample of one and my own opinion, I would concur with your analysis.
I am still sorting out the mess from yesterday, so you will have to wait a while before I post today's result.
I have also now added the EXIF data for this image in the original post.

Just teasing and prolonging the suspense. As I said, it's an exotic location - the rear of the Centrale car park to be precise!
