City Daily Photo Theme Day: Squares


City Daily Photo's theme day for May is Squares. These mosaic squares are at UMIST's Faraday Building and presumably date from the year the building was completed, which was 1967. They're the work of Hans Tisdall and are called The Alchemist's Elements.

I've always loved their richness, especially in the evening sunlight. They will continue to make a dramatic welcome when the building is finally reconfigured for student accommodation.
