Simpo goes to Cambridge
Discussion
One of my old school buddies is doing a postgraduate course at Cantab Towers and took me for a trip round (missed James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, by a day, doh!)
Here are some pix (the architectural ones don't look their best at 750px wide
)
That PhilBrettGuy will know what this is!
Perspective control the modern way:

watson,crick andWilkins were given the nobel prize for thier "discovered" the structure of Z-DNA,Rosalind Franklin did the X-ray work but died. Friederich Miescher discovered DNA in 1868, and Hershey and Chase proved that DNA was the hereditary material.
some good strong images there!poah said:

IIRC Watson and Crick were a little more switched on than Wilkins, who had the X-Ray xtallography data but didn't want to share it; not a team player. Didn't they chance upon her notebook one day and see the tell-tale X-pattern of a double helix? That was the final link that told them: base pairs, double helix, phosphates. It was the structure they finalised.
(You got those telomeres sorted yet Poah?)
Anyway, back to photography

Thanks Beano and Andy; I suppose we don't get architecture like that anymore because it's too hard or too expensive...?
Too expensive, and too labour intensive (one in the same thing in the end).
I've been to countless supposed luxury properties over the last few years and some of the building work is shoddy to say the least. Very little today could hold a light to the properties photographed here.

Franklin showed pics of her X-ray data at a conferance that W+C where at.
