The glorious depth and symmetries of Gareth Pon’s architectural photography – each one with a tiny rocket concealed, ‘Where’s Wally’-style, within the composition.

Above: the Grand Hotel de l’Europe in Bad Gastein, Austria; Stadt-Bad Gotha in Gotha, Germany; Spadina road, Toronto; Hotel Polonia in Warsaw; Hamble-Warsash Ferry Shelter in Hampshire; Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare, England; a door in Kiev, Ukraine; a conference Room in North Korea and (our favourite) a VW van in Berlin by Ulfar Loga.
