I have been lucky to visit many far flung places, always with a camera. Ever so often a building or view catches my eye. At times it is the light, at times the juxtaposition. Sometimes it is just absurd. Enjoy.
3rd Century arch, 20th Century truck. Why?
A yellow hat?
A month before 9/11.
The towers, trees, and mountains in the distance all vertically extrude from the hortizontal roofline and bushes.
The rounded forms support the angled tower with a hat. A trifecta.
Fantastic array of domes arrayed along a street and melding into the hills.
Will the vines consume the building?
The linear tubes of a bus station.
It’s purple.
Water, wall, and windows.
The city is built into hills. This blue building is built into the city.
Domed trees parroting domed buildings.
Crossing the highway with a cross.
El vaquero sitting on a stone bench beneath a mural under a shield.
Looking up into the night sky with orange balconies.
The church of Church station.
Lots of stuff going on: cantilevered sign, red stairwell, circular roof, maybe even the building is slanted.
Cantilever.
Running man.
Sinking cabs.
A tree grows in the BRT station.
A church with a fence. I appreciate the mono-tone and the contrast between the hazy sky and sharp points.
Grounded carpets.
Wonderful proportions.
A half circular stairwell.
Apature.
How arches work.
Facade and ramp. Or ramp and facade.
An explosion of color.
Wind.
Draped shades cool, cast shadows, and create enclosure.
Triangular structure.
My favorite foot bridge in the world. Just look at those curves.
This ramp was probably built for horse carriages, not wheelchairs. But these two seem to be enjoying it.
Flowers on the steps.
Green roofs.
A tree grows building in the narrow space between two buildings in the desert.
The mothership cometh.
Ramps.
A bus stop at the beach. Beautiful.
Genghis Khan was large.
It appears to be a normal building, then someone added a triangular outcropping, then some hexagonal panels for effect?
A mosque, path and bus.
Reflection.
Angles.
A giant triangle.
Ramp to bridge.
They call this deconstruction. It is probably by a famous starchitect.
A green barrel vault.
Cube.
The meeting point.
View from the fortress. Near stone and far city.
Why is the walkway shading structure pink? To match the flowers?
Super sidewalk shading structure.
Something about this brutalist STATISTICS HOUSE tickles my fancy.
Pretty much everything that could go wrong with post-modern architecture is here.
Red and round.
The separation of church and state?
A view of 70 Pine Street in the fog.
View of 70 Pine Street, my favorite building in New York City.
The sinuous road buffeted by the curved walls, under the bridge and leading to the harbor. The light stones against the dark sea and sky. Lovely.
Why not have an interesting door?
Sunset through ancient structure.
Tram tracks through glass.
Keyhole window.
Roof detail. More than just shingles.
This should be Lenin.
A little structure, perhaps a entry gate, complete covered and obscured by highway overpasses. Who says highwaymen are not designing cities?
Blue walls, blue sky, columns, statues, topiary…Art Deco comes to life.
A park in the center of a roundabout edged by a highway. Making the most of the situation.
SHARE THE ROAD with ducks.
Paneled roof of a courtyard which creates a micro-climate.
The effects of climate change on temples.
Parking garage, or large slinky, or waterslide.
The new and old Denver Art Museum. With clouds.
