The Whittle Arch
The Whittle Arch in Coventry, England is a memorial to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventer of the turbo jet engine. The arch is made of a pair of aerofoil sections, with perforated stainless steel sheathing covering a tubular frame and steel lattice.

Detail of a freshly painted post box, University of Warwick, Coventry, England. The paint was still wet when I took this – the photo is (aside from a minor rotate and crop) straight out of the camera.
Three Lions, Oxford
Three lions crest, Oxford, England. I believe this might be Oriel College – due to the three lions on a red background. If you can confirm (or correct!) please let me know!
