Found these fantastically graphic house flags over on the National Maritime Museum archive. A great resource. Link: here
Links: Abandoned Concrete
I can't figure out why I like these structures but one day I'll visit them all. The first is a series of pre-radar listening devices or acoustic mirrors in Dungeness.
Second is the sea forts at the Thames Estuary, Red Sands.
And lastly is the abandoned Bromhill Lido in Ipswich one of many which can be found on the incredibly beautiful 28 days later site- a real archive of forgotten and decrepit architectural treasures.
New Favourite Photo
Found this gem in the Howard Grey archive the other day, from a road trip in Arizona and Nevada in 1992. Brilliant.

Links Clearout: Tech
Great bits of tech scavenged from around the internet via BERG, Russell Davies, Its Nice That, and I can't remember where I found the projection mapping sand sculpture. (Fucking Wordpress is being weird I'm being stupid but I can't get videos to embed- you'll have to trust me and click the pics to check them out- sorry)
Link Clearout: Clocks
A couple of really nice clock designs- both web based and both are a bit sort of fuzzy and inaccurate. They give a feeling of time rather than accuracy- I like that. Click the pics to visit the sites. Helvetictoc by Tobie Langel. Blockclock by Futurefabric and Airside.
Links Clearout: Graphics
Been having a big links clearout. I don't normally post graphics, seems self indulgent but these two examples have been kicking around for a while and I keep coming back to them- really fantastic work. Tappin Gofton for The Young Knives', Of Animals and Men album:
Zip Design for Tom Jones', 24 Hours album:
