The Columbus Monument (Catalan: Monument a Colom, Spanish: Monumento a Colón or Mirador de Colón) is a 60 m (197 ft) tall monument to Christopher Columbus at the lower end of La Rambla.

It was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas. The monument serves as a reminder that Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand V in Barcelona after his first trip to the new continent.

Captain Alonso Pinzon was the owner of the ship Pinta, the fastest of the three ships (Santa Maria and Niña) with which Christopher Columbus set out on the voyage to - as he believed - East Asia and Columbus' favorite ship. American land was sighted for the first time from aboard the Pinta on October 12, 1492, probably the island of Guanahani on the northeastern edge of the Bahamas. Why landed Pinzon in Baiona, Galicia? He wanted to be the first to tell the Spanish king, that he and not Columbus found the way to >India<. In Baiona you can see a replica of the ship >Pinta<.

One of the famous intersections in San Francisco and a great place to do a little people watching. Not coincidentally, I found some people to watch, and a few buildings as well.

Here's the holiday streetscapes in Columbus, Nebraska. It was mist all day, and continued into night. So, I decided to grab the opportunity to snapshot with that kind of the weather I have been waiting for.

You know, I normally don't photograph too much "new" neon, sticking mainly to the old, or the odd. This though... whooo. It's a big sign, and all that blue neon just grabbed me and shook me. I feel it's one of the best designed new neon signs I've seen in a long time. To me, it just has "it". I don't think the photo just it justice at all. Stand there in the rain and stare at it. Then you'll get the impact.

On a recent trip to Syracuse, New York I stopped at this landmark bakery. Having grown up 25 miles away I was raised on this bread. Columbus has been making Italian bread in Syracuse since 1895 and it is my all-time favorite. Walking in the front door is a step back in time. You are not walking into a shiny retail area with the typical glass counters holding baked goods. Once you close the door behind you, you find yourself standing in the bakery itself. Here they make 3 shapes of Italian bread and that is all they do. Loaves of bread are stacked up at the small four-foot counter next to the door and one of the many bakers will come over while wiping the flour from his hands to ring you up. Best bread ever!

Eight locomotives, led by CP 7431, lead CPPC train 247 out of Columbus, Wisconsin on April 2, 2025. The list of locomotives include: CP 7431, KCS 4748, CP 8948, CP 6063, CP 8772, CP 9020, KCS 4792 & KCS 4595.

This shot was taken from Tartinery, a cafe on the third floor balcony overlooking the entrance to 10 Columbus Circle, also known as the Time-Warner Building, although I see "Deutsche Bank Center" on the window.

 

Years ago, probably more than I would estimate, I was in the tv studio audience for a taping of the Anderson Cooper Show, and the backdrop for the set was this exact view, a stunning view of Columbus Circle and Central Park South, leading to East 57th Street. There were strict rules, posted, announced, and on the tickets, against taking photos on set. This was enforced by an army of production assistants scanning the audience, shaming those who disobeyed, and forcing them to delete their shots. After the tapping was over, we could see the exact view, one floor down, open to public viewing. Columbus Circle, NYC -- February 15, 2023

Here is a view of downtown Columbus from the Main Street Bridge. We were very lucky to have minimal wind early this morning, and the still water made for almost perfect reflections.

Today's post is yet another bridge photo from Columbus. I was really drawn to this area when searching photos of Columbus, and I was not disappointed.
