Another detail shot of the 1970s extension to Stockport Civic Offices. Built in 1975. (Same facade, different perspective).
Designed by J.S. Rank, OBE.

Detail shot of Whittle Arch, public art installation in Coventry, England. It is dedicated to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventor of the turbojet engine, who was born in Coventry.
The arches are one of two steel complex torsion structures built in 2003 designed by architects MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard.
I believe they were designed to resemble vapour trails.
The building through the arch is 'Millenium View', student accomodation in Coventry, England.

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder
These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.
The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.
I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.
Another photo of the building shown in Simple Abstract 120.
This recently refurbished former Port Authority building in Tarragona, Spain, resembles an abstract crab. It is brutalist building designed in the 1970s, constructed in 1978, by the local architect Josep Maria Garreta Cusidó and stands boldly on Tarragona’s shoreline.
Another detail shot of the 44-floor (589-foot (180 m)) Erastus Corning Tower in Albany, New York State. Completed in 1973.

"I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else."

This week has been one filled with clichés. First the beach, then the grass...so today I'm doing cherries. I was obsessed with cherries last year. I had big people and little people holding bowls of cherries, I used long lenses, I used prime lenses. I had people stand in different light with the bowl, in the garden, in front of a white sheet. All sorts.
Last night, I snapped these before we ate them. It was so much simpler!
