Flatiron Building
Building in New York City, New York
The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper.
Former Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant located at 801 Parham Rd. in Richmond,VA. The motel is currently branded as a Quality Inn while the restaurant is currently operating under the name River City Diner. After dropping its HJ affiliation during the late 1990s the motor lodge was rebranded as a Holiday Inn. The HI name was dropped in 2009 and the motel operated without any brand affiliation until 2011 when the property was rebranded as a Clarion Inn. The Clarion name lasted until 2015 when the property was rebranded once again into a Quality Inn. Note that despite the all of the brand changes the property still retains a few holdovers from its days as a Howard Johnson's. Unfortunately the property was definitely starting to show its age and only had a few cars in the parking lot, both of which appeared to have not moved in days. The recent reviews posted across travel websites are not very welcoming either. The restaurant on the other hand appeared to be doing a steady business. Unfortunately a hideous "diner-esque" facade has greatly altered original HJ exterior although both the "cactus stone" along with the peak of the roof line are still present. The interior of the restaurant has been renovated beyond recognition from its days as a Howard Johnson's.
Architect: Unknown (1960s?)
Location: North Charleston, SC
Modernist architecture fans will have a hard time in Charleston. This is about the extent of it right here. This building is across the road from my office in Charleston, near the airport. I just did a quick shot of this from my car window, as I was driving by, because I liked the light. I'm sure the other side of the building would be a better angle without the drive-through teller windows there. But I didn't have time to do a proper shoot. Will try the next time I'm in town.
If anyone has any information about the architect or the building's history, would love to know more. Thanks.

EXPLORE! Highest position: 251 on Saturday, February 7, 2009
In the UK we have the Royal Photographic Society. I don't doubt that many of you will know who the 'RPS' are, but they have been around since the 19th century and are widely respected across the photographic world.
I have been a member of the RPS for a few years now and hold two distinctions with them. LRPS and ARPS. They contacted me recently about some photos I have uploaded on Flickr and said they were doing an article on the photosharing website.
I've uploaded it for you so you can see.
Well done Flickr!

YAY! My double page spread.
Ålgårds kvarn och såg har sedan 2010 upprustats i olika etapper. En förening för att arbeta med området kring Ålgårds kvarn bildades 2010. En förstudie har gjorts som handlar om att öppna platsen och göra de kulturhistoriska värdena mer tillgängliga kring Ålgårds kvarn och vägar för att skapa verksamheter som café eller konstnärlig verksamhet på platsen. Orust kommun vill tillsammans med ideella krafter fortsätta att verka för ett tillgängliggörande av platsen för en bredare allmänhet. Arbetet med detta har redan påbörjats i och med byggandet av offentliga toaletter samt en upprustning av byggnader. Orust kommun ser att Ålgårds kvarn och såg har stor potential att bidra till att skapa en attraktiv boendemiljö på nordöstra Orust samt att främja turistnäring som ett besöksmål på Orust.
Norskt samarbete
Det är tack vare pengar från Interreg som upprustningen blivit möjligt. Interreg är ett EU program där Sverige och Norge är delaktiga. Sverige-Norge-programmet stödjer projektverksamhet mellan länderna för att stärka regionens attraktivitet och konkurrenskraft. Området sträcker sig på båda sidor om riksgränsen från nordligaste Jämtland/Trøndelag till Västra Götalandsregionen /Østfold fylke.

I have moved recently and amongst the mess of all my things i was glad to discover some negatives i thought was lost.
The photos was taken in Berlin 1988 during a school trip we made when i went to art school.
The camera was a Rolleicord with Xenar 3.5.
If anyone recognizes where the pictures are taken please let me know. Thanks / Ola
Built from 1906 to 1910 and located at 207 West Hastings, Vancouver, BC.
When built, the Dominion Building was the tallest commercial building in the British Empire at thirteen stories high. Taller buildings dot Vancouver's skyline today, but this one definitely stands out with its terracotta finish and architecture, which I just learned is in the style known as "Second Empire". I would always see just the top of the building and wonder what it was built and used for, and since it reminded me of a loaf of bread/pullman loaf, in my mind it was the "bread building".
Foi inaugurado em 1954. A sua construção é resultado do forte empenhamento de um elevado número de arganilenses que se organizaram criando uma sociedade por acções para a qual contribuíram de acordo com as suas possibilidades. Os arganilenses a residir nas ex-colónias como Saúl Brandão tiveram uma acção preponderante no arrancar da iniciativa. Empresas contribuíram com materiais de construção, mobiliário e outros.
O edifício foi inaugurado em Abril de 1954. Dois nomes de grande valor ficaram ligados ao Teatro Alves Coelho: o do escultor Aureliano Lima a quem se devem os baixos-relevos que podemos admirar na frontaria do edifício e o do pintor Guilherme Filipe que executou várias pintura nas salas do teatro.
