At night, the lighting focused on the edifice of the Lincoln Memorial creates an optical illusion with the shadows of the columns in the appearance of an obelisk, not unlike the Washington Monument at the other end of the reflecting pool. I captured this image of the shadow of my wife taking what appears to be a cell phone picture of the Washington Monument within the Lincoln Memorial. Anyway, I thought it was cool....

If you don't know about it, it may not be the place for you. An unassuming gay bar tucked away in the middle of nowhere in Harbor View. There is no sign, and that's on purpose. It's a neat little building that I've always liked, and used to wonder what was in it. I always thought it would make a great little studio or gallery. Apparently, it has one of the best patios in Milwaukee.

Amersfoort. The Koppelpoort.
The Koppelpoort is a medieval gate. Completed around 1425, it combines land and water-gates, and is part of the second city wall of Amersfoort, which was constructed between 1380 and 1450.
The Circus, originally called the King's Circus, was designed by the architect John Wood, the Elder and was built between 1754 and 1768. Convinced that Bath had been the principal centre of Druid activity in Britain, Wood surveyed Stonehenge, which has a diameter of 325 feet at the outer earth bank, and designed the Circus with a 318 feet diameter to mimic this.
The Circus is divided into three segments of equal length, with a lawn in the centre. Each segment faces one of the three entrances, ensuring a classical façade is always presented straight ahead
The central area was originally paved with stone setts, covering a reservoir in the centre that supplied water to the houses. In 1800 the Circus residents enclosed the central part of the open space as a garden. Now, the central area is grassed over and is home to a group of five large plane trees, which are believed to date to around 1820.
When viewed from the air, the Circus, along with Queens Square and the adjoining Gay Street, form a key shape, which is a Masonic symbol similar to those that adorn many of Wood's buildings.
The painter Thomas Gainsborough lived in Number 17 between 1758 and 1774, using part of its space as his portrait studio.

Weird to see Justin Bieber together with Queen. Unicorn in the window and lion with gnome in fron. A true wonderland
Chicago is my favorite city to shoot architecture. I was spoiled by all the years I lived there. The weather was so variable that it was easy to get drama into my captures.
Chase Tower, the Trammell Crow Center, Univision Tower and the Plaza of the Americas rise into the sky over Downtown Dallas.

I could find next to zero information, historical or otherwise, on this place. Other than a 1988 record of it being Pepi's Bar (or something like that). And the only historical photos I could find show a vastly different building (and no date on those pictures).
Easy enough to pass by... Until I started this project, I didn't even know there was a bar there, and I've gone past there 1000's of times. The only listings I've really found for this were all under "Latin Nightlife", so there's the only hint I can give.

Cantigny Park
Wheaton, Illinois 41.856042, -88.156135
June 11, 2020
I went to the blood drive at Cantigny this afternoon, and after the snacks, took a short walk around since I haven't been able to visit for a looonnnnggg time.
I've always wanted this view, but the fountain is usually running (which I don't like). Today, I was able to get the shot. Alas, there's not much color. Since Cantigny has been been shut down, they don't have much planted. So, monochrome worked for me here.
By the way, Cantigny is reopening to the public on the 15th, subject to a lot of coronavirus restrictions.

Chesnee, South Carolina is experiencing visible decline due to a mix of economic hardship, population loss, and aging infrastructure. The town has struggled to replace jobs lost from past industries, leading to limited employment opportunities and reduced income levels. Younger residents often move away for better prospects, leaving behind an aging population with fewer resources. Vacant homes and underused buildings contribute to a sense of neglect. Public investment remains low, and amenities are limited, making the area less attractive to newcomers. These combined factors have gradually eroded the town’s vitality, leaving it in a persistent state of stagnation and decay. Photographed with a Canon AE-1, 35mm f/3.5 SC lens on Ilford FP4+ (rated at 100 ISO) and developed in HP-110 1+63. Scanned using VueScan and Epson 4870 scanner.
