Poole Guildhall

The Georgian symmetry of Poole Guildhall beneath a brooding summer sky.

Behind the image

This photograph was all about balance. I stood squarely in front of the building so the twin staircases, windows and clock fell into place around the central doorway. The monochrome treatment gives the brickwork and pale stone a stronger graphic quality, while the sky stops the symmetry from feeling too polite.
