He says: \u2019When the sunlight sprinkles into this building, light and shade meet each other in a dreamlike scene, it reminds me of the film called Inception.\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Taken at the Cultural Centre in Aviles, northern Spain, Hans Wichmann documents a young cyclist. He calls the museum \u2018a successful integration of modern buildings in an old industrial site by architect Oscar Niemeyer, a place for large and small people\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Francis Meslet chose to look upwards in his picture, taken in a French memorial marking the centenary of World War One.<\/li>\n<li>Photographer Linda can Slobbe said about the bar-leduc theatre in France: \u2018This historic theatre is built in a typical oval shape, with the stage on one end and multiple floors and balconies all around the rest, this one has beautiful decorations.\u2019<\/li>\n<li>The image by Robert Cassway is part of a larger series called \u2018The Vanishing West\u2019 about Fresno, Montana, USA.

Gautam Kamat Bambolkar says: \u2019Rugged textured cable pipes ran over my head at a train station in New York, creating a trance-like, frightful pattern. They ran from the edge of the entrance to an infinite end.
