Took this photo on a clear day as a couple was taking a leisurely stroll past the grand Gothic cathedral. Its towering spire and intricate facade are a spectacular sight and stand as a testament to the artistry of medieval architecture. The cathedral, against the deep blue sky, makes a striking image, inviting all to admire its historic beauty.
Art Deco detail on a building facade, downtown Cleveland. What I've done here is combine two images, an large square crop from a close up detail shot superimposed on a vertical shot of the building facade that shows the color and textures of the cut stone.
"Representing electricity, she holds a magnet to catch wireless flashes..."
Detail from architectural sculpture entitled "Commerce", by DC French, circa 1912, Federal Building, Cleveland Ohio.
Indeed, a magnet no less!! ...suppose that wireless was a fanciful notion in 1912 or thereabouts.
Detail from Commerce sculpture outside Federal Building, Cleveland. By DC French, circa 1912. Daniel Chester French was a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Probably his most famous piece that anyone might recognize is the statue of Lincoln seated, in the Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC.

Perhaps she just got ahold of an errant wireless flash?! ...
The Cleveland Gray's, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1837 as a private militia and the first company of uniformed troops west of the Allegheny Mountains. The armory was completed in 1893.

I have a thing for terra cotta, in general, but love the stylized numbers with the trailing tails! ...
Detail from the magnificent Civil War Monument in the center of Cleveland.
I've often noticed the strapped bundle of sticks in various forms - on coins, plaques, coats-of-arms, statuary and monuments - and always wondered, so finally looked up the meaning since this image brought back the question. And then I not only learned a bit about what it is, but a new word as well.
Fascinating history and background can be found here, if interested in knowing more:
I liked the golden patina of the exposed and weathered stone on this building and the beautiful detail. So much of this older stonework is so full of symbolism.
Love these types of artistic details - so full of symbolism. The wide eyed owl is a little peculiar - not sure what it's meaning might be ...the cornucopia or "horn of plenty", signifies prosperity and is depicted here full of coins ... doves typically signify peace and faith, and in some circles - the renewal of life...and the scroll on the table? perhaps depicting knowledge?

Loved the look of this place - the brick, and massive stonework, the weathering, turrets and ornamental ironwork.
