"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.

Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

I always amaze at life, at how it adjusts to survive, and at the simple beauty it produces.

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.

How much simple is the house, much more heartfelt are the greetings!

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.

Tromping through the mountains is such a simple way to experience life.

Had a walk up on the Ridgeway on Saturday , decided to travel light and just take my camera and a couple of lenses rather than carrying my usual back braking amount of gear with me

Its nice sometimes to just keep it simple, No tripod , no filters , Just shoot it as it is .......

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.
