P is for Pavilion

Each year the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, London, has a temporary summer pavilion designed by an architect who has not built in the UK before. This produces some interesting results.

In 2009 the deign was by the Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the architecture firm SANAA. One of the features of the building was the reflective ceiling.

For more of my pictures of the pavilion see here.

R is for Red

The combination of evening summer sun and a pavilion with red glass walls is enough to turn the black railings and green grass both red. Red was the theme of the 2010 summer pavilion by Jean Nouvel at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, London. See this set on Flickr for pictures of the pavilion.

S is for Snow

Snow creates a special atmosphere, especially in a park. In December 2010, the snow settled not only in the ground but also in the trees. With the low light of late afternoon, it looked magical.
