Captured with the Rodenstock 40mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6), Phase One IQ4-150 digital back (@ ISO 50), Cambo 1200 camera (shifted vertically -8mm).
Opened as the London headquarters for the Michelin Tyre Co in 1911, and now a mixed commercial building, the Art Nouveau Michelin House features whimsical tire-themed ornaments and stained glass windows with the original Michelin Man "Bibendum" character in various, generally terrifying, poses.

I wish I had had more time to photograph this delightfully weird building, but I only had an hour or so before I had to leave for the airport that day. The hard morning light only illuminated this one angle reasonably acceptably.

@mattblaze I lived further down fulham road for one year. I used to bike quite frequently in front of that building, which is amazing, every single detail is awesome, from tiles to stained glass !

@Bromind They really don't make them like that any more. And the original Michelin Man was *terrifying*.

@Gina ever see the movie Guest House Paradiso? Reminds me of the scene where they ask where the sea view was...
"Yes, lean out, further, further, grab the scaffolding. You can see the sewage pipe in Dead Man's cove. I've had it checked by lawyers, so dont try anything funny. And as a backup, theres a picture of the sea"
