A few weeks ago a friend-photographer took me to a place not far from here. It’s a lesser known “beach” area where you can pretty much spend a whole day baking in the sun, swimming, baking in the sun, swimming, etc. etc. (which I did the day after, this day I mainly shot pictures 😉 ).
The difference with a “normal” beach is that you’re not lying on sand, but on the smoothest, most beautifully decorated rock formations you can imagine. The intricate patterns and shapes are just mind-blowing!

That same light, directional as it is, also can create interesting shadows and patterns with a lot of contrast.

From the outside you wouldn’t really think it. Well, maybe a bit, but it’s not obvious. From the outside the building fits in the surrounding historical environment quite snugly. But from the inside… Boy, Cambridge Judge Business School is one funky building!
