Tortuguero airstrip/airport terminal building. No security lines at this airport. Easiest airport I ever flew in/out of.
Magnifique, l'église de Saint-André de 1929 l'est surtout grâce à sa décoration intérieure réalisée par le grand artiste sierrois: Edmond Bille. (vitraux, peintures et mosaïques)
Architecture de Lucien Praz, mais le clocher date de l'ancienne église (1790)
On a previous visit, I opened an account at the "Bank at Sale" public house which as you can see coincidentally serves Bank's ales.The landlord was very good because he allowed me to make a couple of withdrawals straight away.
Built in 1931, this 10,000 seating capacity auditorium was designed by Leland I. Shumway. The Pavilion, built of blond brick with terra cotta ornamentation, has eight entrances. Each entrance has decorative terra cotta depicting livestock. Roofline terra cotta repeats a colorful pattern depicting the heads of a horse, steer and ram on a background of flowers.
I've always loved the Blue Hour. Artificial and natural lighting balance so very well and the shade of blue that the sky turns is probably my favorite color in the whole spectrum of visible light.
There's a pedestrian bridge over Fox Junction in Denver. It's not the most friendly of places, but one of the other benefits of shooting the Blue Hour (at least the morning version of Blue Hour) is that most sane people are still sleeping or just waking up. All the drunk vagrants that hang around here the rest of the time were sleeping off their hangovers and I had the place to myself.
For the moment, this is going to be my entry for the July Competition over at Rail Visions. I have another idea in mind, but it's going to require some things to come together. We'll see if I can get them to before July is up.
Qutub-Minar in red and buff sandstone is the highest tower in India. It is the world's tallest brick minaret with a height of 72.5 meters (237.8 ft).
It has a diameter of 14.32m at the base and about 2.75m on the top with a height of 72.5m.
Qutb-u'd-Din Aibak laid the foundation of Qutab Minar in AD 1199. The minar was said to have been built to celebrate the victory of Mohammed Ghori, the invader from Afghanistan, over the Rajputs in 1192. He raised the first storey, to which were added three more storeys by his successor and son-in-law, Shamsu'd-Din IItutmish (AD 1211-36). All the storeys are surrounded by a projected balcony encircling the Minar and supported by stone brackets, which are decorated with honeycomb design, more conspicuously in the first storey.
Numerous inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari characters in different places of the Minar reveal the history of Qutb. According to the inscriptions on its surface it was repaired by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (AD 1351-88) and Sikandar Lodi (AD 1489-1517).
Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, to the northeast of Minar was built by Qutbu'd-Din Aibak in AD 1198. It is the earliest mosque built by the Delhi Sultans. It consists of a rectangular courtyard enclosed by cloisters, erected with the carved columns and architectural members of 27 Hindu and Jain temples, which were demolished by Qutbu'd-Din Aibak as recorded in his inscription on the main eastern entrance.
This is the lighthouse that is now part of Fort Casey State Park on Whidbey Island. Kinda has that Hotel California look to it.
Vintage former service station, originally Texaco - Main St, Lawrenceburg KY - Summer 1993. I originally guessed Gulf but Thermodyne verified that it was originally a Texaco outlet (thanks, David!). Texaco certainly had some interesting station architecture over the years. This building is still standing but the facade has been bricked and doesn't look much like this, other than the basic semicircular shape.
As a bonus, dig the neon furniture store sign on the left and the faded ghost sign on the side of the furniture store.
