Imperial War Museum

Everything about this museum ( the Imperial War Museum, Salford, England,designed by Daniel Liebeskind ) is intended to disturb. The museum entrance is like the entrance to a bunker, its doorway set at an angle, at least one floor slopes disconcertingly, and the main structures of the building ( representing the three theatres of war - land, sea and sky ) seem to clash against each other. This view is of the structure representing war in the sky, arising out of the sea.

The shape reminds me of a submarine, well take and great B&W treatment. Looks like the architect did a great job in creating this museum.

A mysterious and moody image with hard vs. soft shapes. Abstract. Nice interpretation.

Ian,
I really like the image. I wonder how it would look with a little more sky in it. The obelisk appears to be leaving the frame.

This reminds me of a Orca's fin cutting through the surface on a cold overcast pacific northwest day. Stunning shot
