Within the scene are the three Grade II listed buildings the phoneboxes set against the backdrop of the Church of Christ the King in Bloomsbury.

The Red Phonebox is a classic design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who amoungest other notable buildings also designed Battersea Power Station. The K6 “Jubilee” model pictured here was built to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935.

Wikipedia describes the railway as –

“a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge narrow gauge steam railroad running between Santa Cruz, California and Alameda, with a ferry connection in Alameda to San Francisco. The railroad was created as the Santa Clara Valley Railroad, founded by local strawberry growers as a way to get their crops to market in San Francisco and provide an alternative to the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1876, James Graham Fair, a Comstock Lode silver baron, bought the line. He extended the line into the Santa Cruz Mountains in order to capture the significant lumber traffic coming out of the redwood forests.

In 1887, the line was acquired by the Southern Pacific and the gauge standardized. In later years, the segment running between San Jose and Santa Cruz was used by SP’s “Suntan Special” which came down the San Francisco Peninsula and took passengers right to the beach and boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Service was disrupted by the 1906 Earthquake^[1]. The tracks through the Santa Cruz Mountains suffered major damage during a storm in the winter of 1940, and the line was abandoned the same year.”

The panorama was captured in High Dynamic Range giving it a slightly unreal look:

We dont normally tweak our panoramas but this scene works well in sepia – providing a slighly surreal look at the old South Pacific Railroad:

The Eiffel Tower’s strength as a piece of iconic architecture is underpinned by the ability to stand directly underneath the tower in a grand statement to public place. Tokyo Tower, on the other hand, has built directly under the Tower to provide entertainment facilities and shopping, this greatly distracts from the Tower’s structure and thus the impact compared to the Eiffel.

View the quicktime panorama of Tokyo Tower (2Mb) – Note the shopping complex underneath the towers expanse. Its not to say we dident like it – it is a fantastic structure – its just that the pressures on landuse have taken away the chance to walk under the tower and thus have taken away the power of its architecture.
