A typical Adobe building in New Mexico, USA. A tall one too ! I've taken out all the rich pink-orange colour of the walls and the deep blue of the sky to concentrate on the architectural lines and textures here. ( Perhaps I'll put the original in the Colour Album ? )
« Adobe de Santa Fe » 2005
Un bâtiment Adobe typique du Nouveau Mexique, USA. Un grand bâtiment en plus ! J'ai enlevé toute la riche couleur rose-orange des murs et le bleu profond du ciel pour me concentrer sur les lignes architecturales et les textures. ( Je mettrai peut-être la photo couleur dans l'album couleur ? )
Fabriquées et peintes par Maïa avec un de ses cadeaux de Noël. Une jolie occupation qui mélange pas mal de savoirs-faire: la bonne recette eau et plâtre avec le bon temps de séchage pour poser l'aimant. Et ensuite, la bonne utilisation des couleurs avec les bonnes associations, l'imaginaire également. Facile à renouveler pour les produits de base, facile à offrir aux copines, c'est une activité créative qui fait la joie de Maïa.
1978 Nikon FE
I was sitting on the couch with my Fuji XT20 in hand when I happened to notice a beam of light from a nearby window illuminating my Nikon FE that was sitting on the coffee table in front of me. It looked so beautiful in this amazing light I just had to capture a shot.⠀

The University of al-Qarawiyyin or al-Karaouine (Arabic: جامعة القرويين) is a university located in Fes, Morocco. It is the oldest existing, continually operating and the first degree awarding educational institution in the world according to UNESCO and Guinness World Records and is sometimes referred to as the oldest university… The claim of the university being the oldest in the world are subject to discussions as other institutions, such as the Zaytouna mosque-school founded in 703 in Tunis, predated the founding of al-Qarawiyyin.

Hides are dried and cured in the sun here, before being dyed in pits in the medina in Fes. The leather is then turned into many different products. See www.flickr.com/photos/halifaxlight/12488210603/in/set-721... for the pits beneath where the dyeing is done.
A train station like no other, the Spanish Mission-inspired Santa Fe depot fulfils its function today as well as it did when the Santa Fe Railway inaugurated it in downtown San Diego in 1915. Amtrak took over Santa Fe’s passenger operations in 1971, and that railroad was later subsumed into today’s BNSF mega-railroad, but happily to old sign still stand proud on the roof. It’s a busy place too for rail activity, with frequent departures of the Coaster commuter service and the San Diego Trolley trains that call every few minutes.
The passengers have boarded and Santa Fe 2 and 2A prepare to pull out of Hillboro in early 1937.
