This has not been HDR’d. Leeds Civic Hall is a civic building housing Leeds City Council, located in Millennium Square, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The design was the result of a competition held in 1926, which was won by Vincent Harris. Work began in 1931 and the hall was opened by King George V on 23 August 1933. Costing £360,000 to construct, it is notable that due to the Great Depression, most people employed in its construction would otherwise have been unemployed, therefore the building’s construction was used as a form of job creation. Shot with my Sony Alpha 700 and Sigma 10-20mm.

The so called ‘Dark Arches’ under the Leeds City railway station have always been a source of fascination for me, even before I started taking photos. I was passing this one as I was walking down to the river to take shots of the new building development there and had to see what happened. The indoor floodlighting came out quite strangely. / Shot with AWB F8 at 0.8 secs 400 ISO hand held, braced against the wall. Sony Alpha 200 28×105 lens.
