Harry Weese, arch. 1969
Even as a kid I always really liked this one. Back then it was probably more due to the copper-colored windows than anything else, but perhaps because it also looked so complete.
Weese did a great job of achieving clarity in his structures and this is no exception. Base, shaft, capital. On the ground floor he managed to include a colonnade on three sides, surrounding a a sculptural foyer on several levels. The different foyer-levels were employed as to offer access to the double-deck elevator-entrances.
I've been trying to find a section through the facade in order to understand the reveals above the windows, but have so far been unsuccessful. At any rate, it is a very nice detail which brings a lot of depth to the facade.
The rest of the building is clad in cor-ten steel, which has weathered very well and goes exceptionally well with the windows.
I spent my day at the park with my kids today (Saturday, I mean)... we never had the chance to go out for 2 consecutive weekends because of the crazy weather... thankful for this day because I had a good time with them...
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

Lighting up time - A wonderful end to the day watching the sun setting over South Uist out across the Minch with some intense and incredible light catching the cliff edge of the thin sliver of land leading out to the lighthouse at Neist Point.
One of the most westerly locations in the UK, Neist Point can be a fickle location at the best of times, sunset can be very hit or miss here; however when it’s good, it really is good. It's a location that’s hard to beat as one of the best places to witness sunset and it really comes into its own when conditions are as spectacular as this.

I love spending time in my garden photographing the dragonflies, it's amazing how tolerant they are if you take a little time to inch closer. I'll be adding quite a few to fill my album so enjoy but no pressure to fav or comment!

Working on creating an image to say goodbye to friends who are moving away to another state. It is hard to say goodbye to friends who have been such a big part of our lives. We are happy for them and their new adventures.

RTT shows the train on time, so the station clock is fast?
a leopard gets his food. This one is held on a 2000 acre area - plenty room. He was once fed per hand - but after getting in the age, he tried to eat his master.... ;)
now he is retired and a great photomodel!
After a big day riding in Outback Australia, it was time for these bikers to have a drink or two outside the Albert Hotel, Milparinka, NSW, Australia.
A pair of IC geeps lead CN local L508 onto the single track at Byron, WI on the railroad's Waukesha Sub. The train will stop ahead to begin work at the Quad plant located here.

Theme: Inspired by your own country
Category: Creative
There is so much about the UK to inspire you. The country has had a huge impact around the world but very little can match the importance of time.
I happen to live near Greenwich and decided that despite being often photographed, it was worth visiting again for a new shot.
Greenwich has had an international impact, due to the fact the people working at the Royal Observatory worked out how to measure time accurately around the world, dividing up the time zones with reference back to "Greenwich Mean Time".
The view here is south from the old naval college, up towards Queens House (the white building in the centre) and the Royal Observatory (above and to the right of Queens House).
Ships in the River Thames used to syncronise time pieces with the observatory's accurate clocks by watching for a red ball that drops down a pole on the roof of the observatory every day at 1pm. This still happens every day despite the fact that no one needs to use it.

Time in Blue. I am taking a few shots of the tower before work on it starts in the new year. This one was taken from the Hospital Garden on the opposite side of the river during the "blue hour". I will need another go at this one as I moved slightly off centre while cleaning spray from the fountain off the lens!
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― The Time Keeper
Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture
Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterbury’s School of Fine Arts. The work consists of a twisting ribbon of randomly linked boxes - with each box depicting one of the years between 1906 (founding of CPIT) and 2010 (the date of the sculpture’s installation). The work can be walked around, walked through, touched and sat on.
“The winding form of the sculpture – placed on a street within the original 1851 grid plan commissioned by the Canterbury Association for their new settlement – is also a nod to the winding Avon River, an irregular feature of the landscape over which a street grid was placed,” says Anton Parsons.
