Arizona 89A above Jerome headed for Prescott Valley. There are 127 mostly 20 mph curves in this 12 mile stretch.
The printing/mailing campus of my worthy employer, on Kansas City's West Side.
These historic roundhouses were constructed in 1914, the same year nearby Union Station opened, and served the station as a locomotive maintenance facility from 1914 till a surprisingly recent 1988.
Can you just imagine the giant turn-table in the center, pointing locomotives towards the bay doors of the service area they needed?
This company designed the office space in the roundhouses, and the giant printing facility (new) behind.

Introducing air-conditioning into the buildings proved a challenge, as it was important not to jeopardize the structures' status on the National Register of Historic Places.

Here's something I just bet you didn't know about me-
I like bright colors. :) This is all stash fabric. Didn't go buy a single piece. So I have no one to blame. lol
Fabrics for Round 4 of the ORBC quilt along, the Circle and Curves Extravaganza! OK, those are my words, not Heidi's.
There's another photo in my photostream that is almost the same, just has a different focal fabric. And- I have all those leftover solids from the wonky quilt, if I need solids.
I'm leaning towards this one, it's more striking. And I think I'll be making a miniature version of Heidi's quilt, either smaller in general, or used in smaller ways, like placemats.
gorgeous wide mouth pouch I received from the lovely Anne Elmosmate isn't it just amazing - love the AMH beautiful butterfly fabric and it really has a wide mouth - I'll be able to fit so much into this baby - thanks again Anne - the whole package is just wonderful !
This little Hermit Thrush has been hanging around this week with a young one nearby (hope to capture her, too). I was not sure of her identity, sort of looked like a juvenile robin from a distance.
This photo is of the pillow top, chocolate wonderfulness and little flower clips that I also found in the package from EatSleepSew. It's all perfect!
Animals from across the globe invade New York City!!! Well, not quite. Actually, renowned Taiwanese artist Hung Yi, brings his artistry to the heart of New York City’s Garment District with his lively menagerie of eleven phantasmagoric sculptured animals which bring good luck and draw upon traditional Chinese culture and religion, as well as the artist’s own experiences and imagination. Using traditional motifs and symbols (as well as some words in English) Hung Yi’s brightly colored sculptures bring life to the streets of downtown Manhattan. Enter, the Fancy Animal Carnival!
Brought to NYC in September the sculptures were supposed to be here until April 15th, however, two days following their last day they were still seen on the streets. Perhaps, they still have work to do in bringing good luck and fortune to New Yorkers and all visitors to the city. I certainly hope so!

One of the oldest and still functioning observatories in Europe, the round tower is also a sight worth seeing for its shape and architecture. It is unique in its smooth stepless ramp leading up to the summit and offers beautiful views all across Copenhagen.
Giant Mountain Wilderness, Adirondacks, NY
_RP1002809
Although it was a pretty cold start at Roaring Brook Falls, the day held promise. After some stops along the trail, I finally broke out of the the forest at the end of a particularly steep section to the mostly snow free bedrock on Giant's Nubble. Between the exertion, the open rock, and the warming day, it was pretty toasty up here, and I was soon stripping off extra winter encumbrances. Across the valley was this view of Round Mountain and the Dix Range. In March, winter was a long way from over up here.
It's not circular, but you can go all the way round!
The Round House, a 15th century half-timbered merchant's house, Market Place, Evesham, Worcestershire
Evesham stands on a tight loop in the river Avon which flows through the Vale of Evesham in southern Worcestershire. It's sheltered position with the cotswold hills to the south, and warm air channelled up the Severn valley meant that it has always been an important area for market gardening.
To the north, Greenhill, the only side of the town not protected by the Avon, was the site for the important Battle of Evesham on August 4, 1265. It was the decisive battle in the Second Barons' War, in which Simon de Montfort, who was ultimately slain, led a number of rebellious barons against the Royalist forces led by Prince Edward in an attempt to curb monarchy's absolute power. De Montfort was betrayed by the Welsh, who deserted before the battle commenced, leaving him to face a force four times the size of his own. He did however succeed in securing a future for democracy in England.

Round 16 Challenge
C-Dals Aka Sue
"My challenge to you (if you choose to accept it) is a posed portrait of a person with any processing you choose. No candids and no Lego - a real live being ;-)
"
Sue spotted a real weakness in my photo stream. A complete lack of portraits.
This portrait is quite a harsh portrait, no smoothing of skin or reduction in the age. It's been desaturated but still a little of red is left behind.
