Perennial concrete favourite — Griffin House, Manchester, 2025

A historic stone church with a red brick steeple stands by a canal, surrounded by leafless trees. Modern, tall concrete buildings loom in the background under a cloudy, gray sky, creating a contrast of old and new architecture.

Lloyds Bank, Lancaster, 2024

A three-story, gray stone building with six windows above a green sign that reads LLOYDS BANK. The bank entrance is lit and features glass doors. An ATM is on the left side beside the doors. The sidewalk is empty, and dusk light is visible.

About as well photographed as possible, after orthodontic treatment, and with a bag of apples in my hand.
