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.
Sometimes I cannot keep up to the flickr pace with all these selective choices (ie days for certain things). I do find it fun and challenging. I remembered a day awhile ago when we took the Grandkids to the park and I took this bench shot. Do you think I could find it though?
Well I did. Happy Bench Monday.
An English pub at closing time. It could be anywhere, but this one's the Craven Arms, in Birmingham.
Bubba and professor go time- travelling for different reasons. Professor dreams of studying prehistoric monsters in their natural environment while Bubba convinced that the world's is going to the toilet hopes to change the history by causing butterfly effect his academic friend has told him about.

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.

The thin walls of prefabricated concrete at the pedestrian crossing at the west end of Pinhal Novo station were a favorite hangout for the locals. On both sides of the crossing. Just watching the people while the trains keep on moving. Killing time.
Like this freight coming from the Algarve line that threads through the station. Blanting for attention with its French two-tone horn.
The 1900 class was for freight only and are close cousins to the 'Grande Bleues' of the SNCF. The Pielstick engines make quite an enjoyable music, and as far as exhaust silencers are concerned... If there's any, it's not very effective.
So maybe after the freight is gone the man might leave for town having a chat on the way, enjoying a Super Bock at a bar and then back home in time for lunch.
It's train time at the secluded Rawhide crossing on UP's Roseville Subdivision. As the UP 2644, leading the ZLTG2, crawls up the stiff grade near Midas, the MOGRV coasts down the #1 track with a long manifest bound for Roseville. Never a dull moment on Donner.
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.
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.
