Google wonderland..

Amazing photography by Connie Zhou of Google's data centres. When I think of data centres or rather server farms as they are called commonly, I think of huge black and grey towers that seem to run along a dull floor that never ends. Google's farms arn't much different to any other server farm or data centre from any other big computing firms in terms of scale and size but, and a big BUT is that its so much more colourful and playful. The above photograph perfectly encapsulates all the colours of the google's logo. There's a splash of red, green, blue and yellow. The facility itself resembles or reminds me of anyway Willy Wonka's chocoloate factory from the movies, with its bright and vibrant colours. The bike is a nice touch too and only furthers the sense that the place is a fun loving and playful (of which the photograph is indicative of anyway). I also really like the overall composition of the photo, and the blend of colours it shows with the pipes and wires all seemingly intertwined with each other.

Another photograph inside of Google's Data centre, though less colourful this photograph gives a sense of depth and perspectice with the way its been shot in an angle. Its almost like looking down a really long tunnel, a brightly lit one at that funnily enough.

Again a great sense of depth and vision, this time looking up. It seems as if its never ending, really showing us how big/tall these data centres really are.
