Doorways Around the World

The streets of Stockholm are so narrow that it’s often impossible to get a shot of the entire doorway. Terry has developed a mixed media technique to combine elements of the scene into one image, which is explained here on her website.

Guildhall

The Guildhall (third on this site) was designed by Thomas Baldwin between 1775-1777. Originally, the architect in charge was the plumber Thomas Warr Atwood, who was also a member of the city council in charge of commissioning architects. Atwood was the architect of record of several city-commissioned buildings in Bath, in fact all of them during his tenure on the council. However, he fell to his death when the floor of a building he was demolishing collapsed. Following Atwood’s death, his young assistant (Baldwin) was quickly put in charge of the Guildhall and was rightfully given credit for the design. Here a mayoral procession is beginning to assemble within and will march a few feet to the Abbey west door. The Baldwin portion of the Guildhall is a Grade I Listed Building.
