hellison: (no vole)
Re yesterday's rant on the new extension to the Grand Opera House, since I couldn't find any pictures online anywhere, I used the powar of CAMERA PHONE to get my own. So now you can make your own minds up!

This is how it looks in the cold light of day. Clicking get a larger version (tho, not much i think ;p) and you can see how the delightful green concrete (WHY??) already looks stained.


And at night (well about 5ish yesterday. But it was already DARK! woe).


I will admit it doesn't look as hideous by night, but it still DOESN'T FIT, and that's my main problem with it. Somewhere else (an industrial estate maybe ;p), it might not look so bad, so out of place, but here? It looks like someone's Blue Peter project stuck on the side.
Surely they could have tried to build something that... blended better? Not a replica or just copying the style, but SOMETHING that doesn't clash so much?
And no-one will blow it up now either :/
