There are some surprising aspects to very familiar landmarks when seen from an elevated vantage point.
In this case it was the fifth floor of a seven storey residential block in Hull city centre giving this very green and symmetrical outlook onto Queens Gardens and the ornamental fountain. It stands straddling what was an entrance to one of Hull's former Dock Basins. A plaque on the old quayside stonework records Hull as the leaving point for the most famous fictional shipwrecked character, Robinson Crusoe in 1651.
Just to the right off picture are the Old Dock Offices which will have overseen the shipping movements through the very important Port City of Hull.
The photo below shows the dockside buildings in sharp contrast with the Princes Quay Shopping Centre. To the left is the sole surviving warehouse of what was an extensive complex on the quayside.
A mixture of architectural styles in one frame. Holy Trinity Church tower, The Deep Submarium and the Tidal Barrier above the roofscape of Whitefriargate and The Old Town.
