The Canadian wildflowers are growing like weeds at Beatty, Saskatchewan on 07-16-2022 as I admire and photograph this former SK Wheat Pool elevator built in 1958. To my knowledge it was never clad in metal. The small elevator with the lettering was built in 1939 and on the opposite side is an annex built in 1947. Canadian National’s branch west from Melfort to the right of this structure was abandoned years ago. 1133

Vista parcial de la emblemática Plaza de la Corredera en la ciudad de Córdoba. Con este encuadre quise resaltar elementos como balconadas y esa moderna farola en contraste con el cielo azul. Un juego de luces, sombras, arquitectura y color.

Fuji X-Pro3. Normally, and I am aware that I am describing a problem, I would edit my images with an emphasis on sharpness and contour. What I am learning is that my 'normality' is what to somebody else is 'illness'. Makes me think.
A long, almost mirror-smooth passage, whose black-and-white checkerboard pattern forms a stark visual contrast. At the end of the tunnel stands a person, surrounded by light sketching a hopeful path into stillness.
I took lovely walk yesterday afternoon but there was a distinct contrast between the trail I was walking and the sky above me!!

A photo of contrasting architectural styles, from memory I think this was taken somewhere in Soho, London.
I'll revert to uploading photos from last Autumns trip to the Cote d'Azur but first I need to process some more so for the next few days my photostream might continue to be a bit random......

Group of Four Trees,1969-72
Artist
Jean Dubuffet
Group of Four Trees is a black and white sculpture standing just in front of the black and white Chase Manhattan Bank building.The similarities between the sculpture and building however,stop there.The building's straight lines and evenly-spaced rows of windows stand in contrast to the irregular surfaces of Group of Four Trees. The forms of the trees are made up of a series of varying planes, all white,and connected together by thick black outlines. The trees' canopies lean in different directions,and the heights of the four trees are all different,making the viewer's eye move all around the sculpture,following the many lines that are present.
The trees manage to look both big and small at the same time. Although almost dwarfed by the surrounding buildings,Group of Four Trees in turn stands high above the people who walk by. Because of the unusual shapes of the trees,and the lack of natural color,the trees seem not quite organic.They do,however, add dynamic movement to the plaza.
In 1969,David Rockefeller,then chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank,asked Jean Dubuffet to design models for a possible sculpture to be placed in front of the bank's new building [1]. Already,the building's plaza included Isamu Noguchi's Sunken Garden,completed in 1964,and the bank's leaders wanted to add another sculpture as well.Dubuffet submitted a number of models, of which Group of Four Trees was chosen [2].Dubuffet then enlarged the piece for placement in the plaza.The sculpture is made of synthetic plastic over an aluminum frame, with a steel armature holding the whole piece together [3].
Group of Four Trees is part of a large group of pieces that Dubuffet called "L'Hourloupe."In describing the meaning of this invented term,Dubuffet explained that the word implies "some wonderland or grotesque object or creature,"and that it "evoke[s] something rumbling and threatening with tragic overtones" [4].He went on to describe the pieces of L'Hourloupe as "the figuration of a world other than our own, or... parallel to ours..." [5].Rather than defining the pieces as sculptures,Dubuffet called them "drawings which extend and expand in space" [6].
At the unveiling of Group of Four Trees in 1972,Dubuffet expressed pleasure at the location of his sculpture.He explained, "I do not believe that these four trees, which I hope will not be taken as representations of real trees, but as semblances of the thrust and fertility of human thought, bear contradiction in any way to the site upon which they now stand....They give an impression of feverish intoxication.But they seem to me,by this same febrility,to manifest the ardent source of the enormous intellectual machinery of which this plaza is the core" [7].
Possible discussion themes
What are the relationships between public art and architecture?
How does the presence of public art works affect the way that a passerby views a building?How do buildings or other surroundings affect the way that a passerby views public art?
How can images of nature fit into an urban setting?
Dubuffet's trees are far from realistic,and yet add something that might be considered organic in feeling to the plaza in front of the tall,square, impersonal Chase Manhattan Bank building.On the other hand,it is black and white,made of plastic—almost as far from organic material as possible.

September here is a month of sudden storms even on bright days.
This little egret was fishing for sticklebacks in the shallows just before the rain came.

Walking around Dallas, I have a tendency to look up, and found this situation. Was rather intrigued with the contrasts of the modern skyscraper (Bank of America Plaza) and it's modest 9 storey older neighbour.
Coming this Thursday!
