The City of Toronto awards modest contracts to local artists who turn aspects of the streetscape (such as this traffic signal box in Greektown) into canvases. This win-win situation is part of the city's graffiti-management program. I was told by one artist that the award wasn't much, but it does give artists exposure and it does make the streetscape more interesting. This artist's design reflected themes of the community: Greece and raccoons. I like it.

Annie Pfeiffer Chapel on the campus of Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Fl. The college features the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. Annie Pfieffer Chapel is one of Wright's more recognizable designs and one of Lakeland's most well known images. Overlooking the shores of Lake Hollingsworth and home to such notable architecture, the campus was named Princeton Review's Most Beautiful in 2011.
With such notable vintage buildings, I wanted to share them with a very classical look, and I was very pleased at the wonderful tone that VSCO's Vista 800 vibrant gave me in Adobe Lightroom.
