I have a DREAM

Today in the US we celebrate the birthday, life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. I took this almost 5 years ago, shortly after the monument opened, while taking in the Cherry Blossom festival.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King. Following emancipation, the dream of many ex-slaves led to the "exoduster" movement to Kansas and the dream of all black communities. One of those communities was Dunlap, Kansas. This is the Baptist Church which was the center of the community. Here is a link describing its history.http://www.legendsofkansas.com/dunlap.html

Today is Martin Luther King Day in the United States, an occasion to celebrate the life and achievements of the great civil rights leader. The photo shows the MLK Memorial in Washington, DC

I used a quote from Martin Luther King that talks about courage and making difficult decisions. The quote runs in the background, although is somewhat obscured by the numbers.

Photo of San Jose's old main library (MLK).

Photographer unknown.

I loved this building... but not everyone did. Architects were Norton Curtis & Assoc. The building was constructed in the late 1960s and opened in 1970. When I was in grad school (in the 90s!), I used to study here. People used to say that it was dark inside... but I don't remember that at all. I loved that you entered on a bridge hovering over sunken gardens. I loved that the architects really made an effort to integrate the design with the Civic Center across the street, which was built in the mid 1930s in a Spanish Colonial / Mission Revival style. Note the library's arched windows. Anyway, people either loved or hated this building, and the opinions were strong. It came down in the 2000s for an extension of the convention center... the main building of which I find hideous. Speaking of strong opinions... LOL.

De momento creo que será la última foto de paisaje en un buen par de dias a no ser que encuentre algo que realmente valga la pena enseñar, creo que va siendo hora de cambiar un poco de estilo y dedicarme más al macro, estudio (no al de coger libros y ponerse a empollar) , callejeo,... lo intentaré, pero no garantizo nada jeje.

This piece of art has been painted onto plywood and is acting as a wall. The original brick structure to which it is attached is crumbling.

January 21, 2019 - Atlanta, Georgia

I went for a walk around downtown last night. It's been awhile since I've just walked around with no particular destination in mind. This area through the fountain on the Martin Luther King Jr promenade always catches my eye.
