ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Jean Nouvel's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion on a spectacular summer day, above, from an afternoon coffee stop in Kensington Gardens. The last image is shot through red glass, creating some odd reflections.From Dezeen blog: The design for the 2010 Pavilion is a contrast of lightweight materials and dramatic metal cantilevered structures. The entire design is rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasts with the green of its park setting. In London the colour reflects the iconic British images of traditional telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses. You can see a slideshow at The Guardian, however the unexpected turn in this design is that it's been a particularly dry summer this year, leaving the city's signature parks with yellow grass instead of green.

A fine series; I especially like the third one.
the angles are great. especially the third shot. the reflection makes it unique.
