...it looks as if the Genius of Design series (four episodes so far) is on the BBC iPlayer - might be worth a look...:

There's a series on BBC currently (friday evenings) called the Genius of Design and they often single out specific design icons - I think the series covers from the start of the 20th century to present day. I have been enjoying it in any case. Off the top of my head they have included...

Motorway signage
The S-chair
The tupperware box
The model T Ford
The De Haviland Mosquito
The Sony Walkman (the original one from 1979)

My memory is drying up now... but others here may have seen it or there is probably an accompanying book... might be worth a sly browse in Waterstones if you get the chance

Second from last for me although it's a good set you've posted overall. I also like the shot of the scaffolding around the old bridge piers. I know people can either love HDR or hate it but I think these are good. Not quite as 'over-cooked' as some and on the whole making for striking images.

Good stuff

Another wow - Trying to get a decent pic of the parents is nigh on impossible in my experience - Nice one!
