It's cold and grey out there – put a bit of colour in your cheeks.

Stop and pink
Sunday afternoon in King's Cross
This week's images show the changing face of King's Cross. Soon the old associations will be gone and it'll seem it's always been a place of elegant new builds among reworked brick warehouses and railway buildings overlooking a canal. We visited the House of Illustration to see Paula Rego / Honoré Daumier: Scandal, Gossip and Other Stories. The show runs until 22 March ... get down there for some quality eye food.
Door-to-door
Behind every door, there's an opportunity ... or a nail bar.

Out-of-office
A few days out-of-office can work wonders. The architectural delights of Valencia certainly did it for us ... we're re-focused, re-energised and re-ady for work.
The first two shots above are at the City of Arts and Sciences designed by Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela, set in parkland in the former riverbed of the Turia. The third is the America's Cup Building designed by David Chipperfield.
Shots below taken in the Barrio del Cabanyal-Canyamelar, the Museo de las Ciencias and at the Mestalla for Valencia's 3-1 victory over the champions Athletico Madrid.

We have a confession – we're compulsives. Wherever we go, we can't help but see faces in architectural features. Apparently we're not alone in this compulsion. In fact it's so widespread, it has a name: pareidolia.
