This build was loosely inspired by Japanese castles in general, although that wasn't what I was intending when I first started - it was going to be a simple star fort. But, it kept on getting taller... and taller...
Build log on my blog, and time lapse video on YouTube if you want to see the "taller and taller" process!

"Throughout the ages, it has been the simple buildings that solve a problem that become the representative buildings of their time."
- William "Bill" Robb
This is the Fort Collins Savings and Loan Building, built in 1970. It is an example of one of Bill Robb’s “simple buildings” in Fort Collins, Colorado. I chose it for the We’re Here! theme today – Black and White Architecture.
It is also fitting topic 5/123, "Angles” for 123 pictures in 2023
I found an article about Bill Robb and learned he was the only architect in town when he set up shop in 1953, and it stayed that way for some years. Fort Collins was an agricultural town and quite conservative. The area never broadly embraced Googie, New Formalist, or Brutalist design, but its offices, residences, and churches reflect some profound local examples of Modern architecture. The key, defining examples of the movement for Fort Collins, largely Contemporary or Usonian in inspiration, in many cases, sprang from the desk of William Robb.

After sifting through and editing 600-odd images from Saturday night I'm all photo-ed out today!
For some reason Toby finds the name of this plant hilarious ;)
It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.
However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.
A square version of my previous photo.

It isn't every day that my wife and I get to collaborate on a project. When my sister in Indiana and her (now) husband asked if we could help to arrange a simple beach wedding for them, we were all too happy to accommodate.
I sourced and built the archway and Dina came up with the idea for the flameless candles to fashion an approach to the archway.
I build things and Dina made them look pretty. :)
With only four of us, a friend handling photography and a wedding officiant, the bride and groom were happy with their simple sunset ceremony on the Gulf.
Somehow I bypassed this simple, single rose in favour of more colourful blooms but I think that sometimes, less is more.

Plants have to be pretty hardy to survive the hot dry air of California summer weather. Jade plants rank right up at the top as being up to the task. I have had this plant for 40 years.
This is another view of the Bernini’s spiral staircase, looking up at the residential apartment attached to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The “hidden” staircase can only be viewed through a guided tour conducted by the Basilica’s personnel.
