I like that type of architecture. Second only IMO to Art Nouveau (Prague and Paris mainly). I used to like shooting architecture before I did birds. Now that the birding season is over and I'm getting more into the hobby I'm doing more architecture shots.

Brighton looks very nice. I have to visit someday.
