Beautiful architecture and classic design built to last centuries on a side street in Vienna, Austria.
I captured this while in the city for a conference in 2008 with my D80, yes that long ago! The streets are filled with these opportunities but after a few days I realized I had forgotten my battery charger. There were not many camera stores in the area or that had available chargers. I finally found one that kindly charged my battery for me to get me through another few days. Such a relief!

Located at the northern end of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz Harbor is a haven for fishing craft and vessels. A harbor light, located at the west jetty, has marked its entrance for forty years. The original light was a box light structure which served from 1964 – 1996. It was replaced by a cylinder nicknamed “the water heater” which was used from 1996 – 1999. From 1999 until May 2002, a simple pipe structure held the light which marked the way into the harbor.
In 1998, the Santa Cruz community, under the leadership of Bill Simpkins and Jim Thoits, proposed replacing the unsightly harbor light with a lighthouse of classic design, adding a little more character to a community renowned for its characters. Fundraising efforts began in earnest, and with the contributions of many people, including a major donation from Charles Walton of Los Gatos, enough money was raised to begin construction of the new lighthouse in 2001.
The lighthouse, designed by Mark Mesiti-Miller and constructed by Devcon Construction, Inc., stands 41 ½ feet tall above the level of the west jetty, and 59 ½ feet above the mean low water mark. It weighs 350,000 pounds and is built to withstand a quarter million pounds of wave energy.
The construction began with a cylindrical inner core which houses electrical equipment and a circular staircase of forty-two steps which lead to the top of the lighthouse. Surrounding the inner core is a network of reinforcement rods, onto which “shotcrete” was blown and then hand-troweled to form the conical shape. These shotcrete walls are 4 ½ feet thick at the base. Finally, a durable weatherproof white finish was applied to the exterior of the lighthouse and a copper roofed lantern room topped it all off.
On June 9, 2002, the new harbor lighthouse was dedicated, and the signal, a green light flashing every four seconds at a focal plane of thirty-six feet, was activated. It is named the Walton Lighthouse, in honor of Mr. Charles Walton’s late brother, Derek, who served in the merchant marines and was lost at sea during World War II.
In a row of buildings constructed between 1889 and 1893, Nos 232 - 236 Queen St E in The Moss Park area of Toronto Canada are now home to a book store, a glass repair and a butchers. The row of buildings were designated a Heritage Property by The City of Toronto in 1973.

This Heathkit Mohican communications receiver was sold from 1961 to 1968 by Heathkit in Benton Harbor, Michigan, USA, and was available both as a kit and as an assembled unit. This pictured radio bears a plaque stating that it came from the Frankfurt branch, which was established in the mid-1960s. It covers 550 kHz to 32 MHz, contains 10 transistors and ceramic filters. Battery and mains operation are possible. The classic design with many chrome-plated knobs is somewhat reminiscent of American road cruisers from that time, as it says in a contemporary advertisement: "Attractive styling! One-piece 2-tone green metal cabinet..." My unit still works well and looks very good.
A skylight/staircase exit and a chimney standing side-by-side on the stepped roof of La Pedrera, called "the garden of warriors" by the poet Pere Gimferrer because the chimneys appear to be protecting the skylights - who knows? Maybe against the needle-form tower of the classic design building in the background.
Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera ("the stone quarry") in reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a Modernista building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912.

Hey everyone! I recently came across this amazing find in Kenosha, and I couldn't be more surprised. The electric trolleys here bring back memories of the historic streetcars that used to roam the city's streets back in the early 20th century. Their vintage charm, with wooden exteriors and classic design, creates an incredible experience. Personally, I think capturing them in a black and white infrared image would truly enhance their nostalgic appeal. What do you all think?
The long exposure night photograph was taken last week during my visit to London. The camera on tripod was placed on the side of Southwark Bridge, looking in the direction of the City.
The traffic light trails on the Bridge were captured in the photograph, with the classic design of London street light complementing the well lit high rise buildings in the City.
The classic design of architect David Burnham of the elegant Union Station in Washington DC can be seen in the this image with this corridor of Bethel white granite from Vermont archways that lead ones eye to the end. Once swampland to the east of Capitol Hill, a joint effort of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) it opened in 1907 and was completed in 1908 in beautiful neoclassical Beaux-Arts architecture with many Greek and Roman elements.

Excerpt from discoverhongkong.com:
Board an authentic Chinese junk and set sail into Hong Kong’s scenic harbour for a 360-degree view of the city’s impressive skyline. Originally owned and manned by Chinese fishermen, the DukLing 鴨靈號 is typical of the junks which used to crisscross Hong Kong waterways. After sailing the waters and deep sea channels for more than 60 years, the vessel was lovingly restored in 2015 to her original classic design.

Bei Vícenice ergibt sich dieser Blick auf die Ortschaft Dehtín. Am 18. Januar 2025 tummelte sich eine Herde Jungbullen auf der Wiese im Vordergrund, die sich von meiner Anwesenheit glücklicherweise unbeeindruckt zeigte. An diesem Tage war der Sp 1708 "Berounka" von Rokycany nach Klatovy von der im klassischen Design gehaltenen 362.078 bespannt. Die Loks der Baureihe haben den Spitznamen "Eso" (tschechisch für Ass), diese spezielle Maschine wird von Eisenbahnfreunden ,,Natálka" genannt.
This view of the village of Dehtín can be seen near Vícenice. On 18 January 2025, a herd of young bulls was romping around in the meadow in the foreground, which fortunately was unimpressed by my presence. On this day, the Sp 1708 ‘Berounka’ from Rokycany to Klatovy was hauled by the 362.078 in the classic design. The locomotives of this class have the nickname ‘Eso’ (Czech for ace), this particular locomotive is called ‘Natálka’ by railway enthusiasts.
The Barn
Built 1810-1820
The Barn's first home was on a small homestead that was
nestled in the Hackensack Valley of New Jersey,where it was
skillfully crafted in the early years of the 19th century.
Built from hand hewn oak timbers and utilizing mortise and tenon joinery.
The Barn is a rare structure in that it features a combination of
classic design from both traditional Dutch and English architecture.
Over it's two centuries of existence, it witnessed a rapidly changing
American culture and landscape. One of the barn's owners in the
early 20th century was a writer named Herbert Collingwood who,
lamenting the demise of the small family farm brought on by the
Industrial Revolution,longingly named the parcel,"Hope Farm"
In 1997, faced with the prospect of demolished to make way for
new development,the"Hope Farm" barn was given another chance.
Craftsman traveled east,carefully dismantled,restored the structure,
and then raised it again as a gallery and gift shop filled with handcrafted
items from community artisans. Now nearly twenty years into it's second
life, The Barn has become and integral part of the Homestead Craft Village,
where tens of thousands of visitors pass through each year, many finding
inspiration and hope that small agrarianism and traditional community
are finding their way back.

A first-generation Toyota Celica GT spotted in Addison, Texas, showcasing the classic design that has captivated car enthusiasts for decades.
The sanatorium was designed according to the modernist principles of 'het Nieuwe Bouwen' (new way of building) by Johannes (Jan) Duiker in collaboration with Bernard Bijvoet and engineer Wiebenga, an early specialist in concrete constructions. The main building and the Ter Meulen pavilion opened in 1928. The Dresselhuys pavilion was finished in 1931, De Koepel pavilion in 1934. There has been ongoing restauration since 1997 by Dutch architects Hubert-Jan Henket and Wessel de Jonge. The main building and workshops were restored in 2003. The exterior envelope of the Dresselhuys pavilion was restored in 2008. Further restoration stages are being planned. The surrounding site is being restored by landscape architect Bureau Alle HospeZonnestraal was built as a tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1920s and 1930s. The building features the classic design of the sanatorium, which focuses on as much open space and fresh air as possible. However, it still embodies the definition of the modern architecture by the immense amount of repetition and the avoidance of superfluous decoration. The building is mostly made of transparent materials to allow as much light as possible to enter the patients' rooms. With this transparency, the building runs a large risk of overheating. However, the architects understood these risks and incorporated a cooling system in the building; something that was not common at this point in time. The surfaces that are not transparent are very sterile and smooth in appearance making very hygienic surroundings. The buildings are arranged in a loose "pin-wheel" design that created separation between patients' rooms, giving each of them the adequate amount of sunlight needed for therapy. The distribution of space in this manner created the ability for every patient to have a sunbathing balcony that was unobstructed by any other patient's room or building. The design of this architecture can be referred to as Heliotherapeutic Architecture (Light therapy) and was actually a short lived style in its purpose for therapy because of the discovery of the cure for tuberculosis. However, this style focuses on the engineering required to satisfy the patient's needs. In fact, the architects preferred to refer to themselves as building engineers.[4] After abandonment in the 1980s the building was submitted to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. However, with this submittal, the building's structural deterioration could not be solved by demolition and rebuilding. Instead new techniques of concrete repair had to be used
A take on a vintage storefront clock in downtown Pana,IL. Downtown Pana is a wonderful example of the main street's of yesteryear-full of old falsefronts,along with the now-gaudy remodelings that were done in the '70s that now seem so outdated. On a positive note,a large share of these buildings are occupied and the old movie theater still shows new movies and has the classic design of the theaters of yesteryear,complete with the large lighted marquee....
By the way,it was 9:30 when I took this shot....Happy sliders sunday all!
Toronto Fire Station No 227 at 1904 Queen Street East in Toronto Canada was built in 1905 as TFD 17. Station 227 also known as The Kew Beach Fire Hall originally had a single vehicle bay. In 1960 an addition was built on the west side of the original building. The 24 metre hose tower didn't have a clock until angry local residents demanded one in 1912 :)

The Gooderham Building, a historic landmark in Toronto, positioned among modern skyscrapers. The building’s distinctive triangular design and prominent turret make it a striking feature of the urban landscape. The fog surrounding the taller buildings creates a subtle atmosphere, softening the presence of contemporary structures and allowing the red-brick façade to stand out. The composition highlights the contrast between historic architecture and the city’s urban development. The discreet presence of pedestrians and urban elements adds to the scene, capturing a moment of calm amidst the bustling metropolitan environment.
Located at the northern end of Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz Harbor is a haven for fishing craft and vessels. A harbor light, located at the west jetty, has marked its entrance for forty years. The original light was a box light structure which served from 1964 – 1996. It was replaced by a cylinder nicknamed “the water heater” which was used from 1996 – 1999. From 1999 until May 2002, a simple pipe structure held the light which marked the way into the harbor.
In 1998, they replaced the unsightly harbor light with a lighthouse of classic design.
Hätte mir jemand vor einem Jahr gesagt, dass ich nochmal die Möglichkeit haben würde, Loks der Baureihe 1014 im Planeinsatz zu fotografieren, dann hätte ich dieser Person Realitätsverlust vorgeworfen. Aber bei der Bahn gibt es nichts, was es nicht gibt. Aus Fotografen-Sicht kommt es dabei auch zu ganz erfreulichen Entwicklungen. So zum Beispiel bei einer meiner Lieblingsbaureihen, der formschönen, aber im damaligen Planeinsatz eher glücklosen Mehrsystemlok 1014. Seit 2009 aus regulären Umläufen verschwunden und in 2016 zur Verschrottung nach Rumänien abgefahren, hatte die Firma Zeller Transporttechnik im Vorjahr fast den kompletten Bestand wieder nach Österreich zurückgeholt und einige Maschinen wieder betriebsfähig hergerichtet. Eingesetzt werden die Loks im klassischen Design der 1990-er Jahre hauptsächlich vor dem sogenannten Wenzel-KLV zwischen Wels und Katsdorf. Dieser Zug verkehrte an Sonntagen bei Tageslicht, sonst stets in der Nacht. Inzwischen wird allerdings generell Nachts gefahren. Der Zug zog naturgemäß die Eisenbahnfreunde in den Bann und war die letzten Wochen ein begehrtes Fotomotiv. Am 24. März 2019 war es mir bei herrlichem Frühlingswetter vergönnt, die 1014.004 und 003 vor dem komplett beladenen SETC 96816 zwischen Windischgarsten und Spital am Pyhrn aufzunehmen.
If someone had told me a year ago that I would have the opportunity to photograph class 1014 locomotives again in planned service, I would have accused this person of losing reality. But there's nothing on the railroad that doesn't exist. From a photographer's point of view, there are also very pleasing developments. For example, regarding one of my favourite series, the beautifully designed, but at that time rather unlucky multi-system locomotive 1014. Disappeared from regular circulations since 2009 and left for Romania for scrapping in 2016, the company Zeller Transporttechnik had brought almost the entire stock back to Austria last year and repaired some of the locomotives to be operational again. The locomotives in the classic design of the 1990s are mainly used in front of the so-called Wenzel-KLV between Wels and Katsdorf. This train was operated on Sundays in daylight, otherwise always at night. In the meantime, however, it generally runs at night. The train fascinated railway enthusiasts and was a much sought-after photo motif in the recent weeks. On March 24th, 2019 I was able to take a picture of ZTT's 1014.004 and 003 in front of the completely loaded freight train SETC 96816 between Windischgarsten and Spital am Pyhrn in wonderful spring weather.

And the two forks, out of focus due to depth of field, the reflection line on the left side of the spoon.
For the photo the spoon was slightly turned out of the light, to get more bright and more dark areas.
Taken late afternoon, no direct sunlight any more.
As for size, the spoon on it widest is approx. 50 mm, shown less than 50 mm

CC Week 40: Repetition
Sometimes I like looking at houses, and there are a number of Spanish style homes that are classic beauties.
Some of the repeated shapes and patterns in this image include arched windows, rows of roofing tiles, and grids on the windows.
There were very few lawns this green in the area, due to drought that has continued for a few years. Most people quit watering their lawns and let the grass die. Or they replaced them with something that requires less water.
Luxe Paris Brings Mondrian's Vision to Second Life: A Modern Take on High Fashion
In the ever-evolving world of Second Life fashion, Luxe Paris has once again proven why it remains a beacon of innovation and artistry. Their latest release, the Mondrian Dress, is more than just an outfit—it’s a statement. Inspired by Piet Mondrian’s iconic abstract art, this dress bridges the gap between the storied past of modern art and today’s haute couture.
The Fashion History Behind the Mondrian Dress
The roots of the Mondrian Dress trace back to the 1960s when Yves Saint Laurent introduced his groundbreaking "Mondrian Collection." His designs drew directly from Mondrian’s grid-based compositions of bold primary colors bordered by thick black lines. This collection was a revolutionary blend of art and fashion, showcasing how garments could transcend their functional purpose to become walking canvases of artistic expression.
Mondrian’s art, characterized by its simplicity and balance, was an ideal inspiration for Saint Laurent’s vision of modern elegance. By integrating these abstract paintings into couture, Saint Laurent didn’t just dress his models—he turned them into living embodiments of modernist art.
Luxe Paris: Revitalizing Mondrian for the Digital Era
Fast forward to today, and Luxe Paris’s rendition of the Mondrian Dress breathes new life into this classic design within the vibrant landscape of Second Life. The dress pays homage to the original with its striking grid patterns and color blocking. Yet, it reimagines the style with a contemporary twist that fits perfectly into the virtual world’s dynamic fashion scene.
The Luxe Paris Mondrian Dress is a seamless fusion of past and present. While it retains the essence of Mondrian’s minimalist aesthetics, it also incorporates modern elements like:
Dynamic Textures: The dress features intricate, high-definition textures that give the fabric a sense of depth and movement, adding realism to its virtual representation.
Flattering Silhouettes: Unlike the boxy shapes of the original 1960s design, Luxe Paris has tailored this dress to accentuate the avatar’s form, creating a sleek and sophisticated silhouette.
Styling the Mondrian Dress
This dress is a statement piece that doesn’t need much to shine. Pair it with minimalistic accessories like geometric earrings or a sleek clutch to enhance the artistic vibe. For shoes, opt for bold, single-tone heels to complement the dress’s striking colors.
In the virtual world of Second Life, where creativity knows no bounds, the Mondrian Dress by Luxe Paris stands as a tribute to both the history of fashion and the limitless possibilities of modern design. It’s a reminder that great art never fades; it evolves and adapts, finding new ways to inspire.
Final Thoughts
Luxe Paris’s Mondrian Dress is more than an outfit; it’s a celebration of artistic legacy and modern ingenuity. By bringing this iconic design to Second Life, Luxe Paris has not only honored the spirit of Mondrian and Saint Laurent but has also set a new standard for digital haute couture. So, whether you’re an art aficionado, a fashion enthusiast, or simply someone who loves to make a statement, the Mondrian Dress is a must-have for your Second Life wardrobe.
Step into the world of high fashion with Luxe Paris and wear a piece of history, reimagined for today. This dress is now exclusively available at the January Swank Renew Yourself Event:
