put on the heavy boots and fix the hard hat to the camera bag. The hard hat is silly looking, therefore wear it as little as possible. Go down the long first floor corridor, to the last door on the left. It looks like the door to a storage cabinet, but there is a ladder inside which goes up to the roof. The roof is covered in pebbles.
Crunching sounds from unerfoot, walk across the huge roof to the place where there is a view over the building site. Take a picture, there are cranes there now, and the hole that they had dug is having a concrete base put in. There a blue styrofoam blocks on the first layer of concrete, these are being covered with deep black tarred matting. There will probably be a layer of steel reinforced concrete on the top of that at some stage.
Take pictures from the roof, using a wide angle lens, and then a fisheye. Keep the cranes to the middle of the picture when using the fisheye, they will look bent on the pictures otherwise.
The light is much to contrasty, the sky is blue and the shadows are deep.
