More Architecture plus some Graffiti Too - The Sage Gateshead (free for you to use in your own posts)
Introduction
Continuing on the architectural theme here are some more shots this time of the Sage in Gateshead which is a popular contemporary concert venue. The building is very modern and part of the regeneration and the creation of venues for art and culture in the North East of England. It is adjacent to the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and (on the other side) the Tyne Bridge.
I have created both colour and black and white versions of all the shots. In the cases where I liked the colour versions too, I have also put these into this post. These are all free for you to use as per the terms of Steemit4free.
You can download colour versions of the other shots (or any of these shots for that matter) using this SteemImg Album link.

Interior
Sadly it was too cloudy to get really good interior shots but these are just to give you an idea of how it looks. There are very few straight lines anywhere in the Sage. I love the multitude of curves.

The Graffiti Wall
Outside the Sage there is a public graffiti wall with regularly changing artwork on it.

Colour Versions of the Exterior Shots
I had a hard time deciding between these and the monochrome versions so have put these into the post too.

Wow! such forms! This is so cool, I love how you took the shoots! Damn you are skilled!
Thank you. Glad you like it.
Heya @thecryptofiend.
The building is amazing! I love the architecture of the place as well as the cool graffiti artwork on the outside.
Of course, your incredible images do real justice in showing off its curvatures and unique structural design, but that's to be expected from your phenomenally high standard of photographic skills.
Love your post and always look forward to reading the upcoming ones. :)
Thanks. I managed to get some more shots of it and the nearby Baltic Centre today. It will take me a bit of time to process them but hopefully should have some of those up soon too.
Wow that's great al together - very impressed of these pics - upped ;-)
Thank you:)
Great shots as usual. Loving the graffiti wall.
Thanks:)
Those are amazing photos
Thank you:)
Followed
Thank you:)
great photos
Thanks mate:)
Great stuff man, I don't know which is more incredible, the building, or the graffiti!
Excellent post!
Yes. I loved the graffiti. That will be replaced by something new now. If I have time tomorrow I will see what is there now.
Good idea, go back, check it out, and share it with us if it is worthwhile!
Will try. I have my eye appointment today and if they put drops in them both I won't be able to see a thing to take any photos. Sometimes they just put them in the bad eye but other times they do both so they can compare.
Excellent, I am glad to hear that everything went well.
Thanks:)
Hope everything goes well at the appointment.
Thanks yes it went OK. It will take time for the swelling to go down but my eye is better:)
A truly awesome post @thecryptofiend!!!
Thank you. That is very kind of you to say. I personally only like the exterior shots because it was close to sunset and quite cloudy which is perfect for outdoor light. The interiors are very dull and flat but I thought people would be curious how it is inside so I put them in the post anyway.
On a really bright day it looks glorious (but ironically that is the worst time to shoot the exterior). Next time I am back there I will try to get some better inside shots. The only problem is in England sunny days without clouds are rare!
