The graceful curves of Chicago’s Lake Point Tower rise into the featureless, overcast sky over Lake Michigan.
I went for a walk along King, Wellington, Portland streets and took few photos of the older buildings still standing. Not many are left. This 5 story building is about the same height as a new 10 story building, so I predict it would soon be replaced. Canada population must be getting shorter. The nation which invented basketball is on the way to become like Appenzellers. (The Swiss make fun of the short people in this corner of Switzerland)
This is the rear of the 1913 Samuel & Benjamin Building. (Architect - Burke, Horwood & White). There may have been a restaurant in the basement and the exhaust is just a visual leftover. 'Samuel' is an established (1855) metal manufacturer (now in Oakville), one of few still operating in Canada.

Forty-six years is a good run for any business. Brothers Ron and Rob, the owners, were probably ready to retire anyway.

The soul of 'Drom Taberna', the man who makes things happen, not only actually wear wide brimmed hats of many colours, but manages to do all kinds of big and little jobs; from public relations to being main cheerleader for whichever band is playing on stage.

What does the SS stand for? Three guesses. Freshness? Congress? Hopeless? Mattress? Ok. Counting to five did always cause me problems. No, it is actually Fitness.

Acropolis is just a ruin, as its older cousin in Athens. Why ask for destiny? Why name your boat Titanic?
Of course nobody could predict Pandemic 2020-2021, but judging by the state of the building the fine dining at Acropolis was cooked few years before the Virus got to Toronto. The building is now is used for selling tiles and other building supplies.

One from the archives, an urban car park in Nottingham. This was taken in 2018 - I was just attracted to all the lines in this one.
La bellissima scala all'interno dei Musei Vaticani. Uno scatto che può sembrare banale e semplice, ma che in realtà ha richiesto un certo impegno, in primo luogo ho dovuto attendere che la scala fosse il meno affollata possibile prima di scattare, e poi per riuscire a scattare a mano libero con un tempo di esposizione sufficiente per evitare il mosso e con un diaframma che restituisse una buona profondità di campo, ho dovuto alzare gli ISO fino a 5000. Alla fine ho optato poi per una conversione in bianco e nero.
Hidden almost completely by the big instrument is diminutive young lady, probably on her way to concert. I played with the image. A little bit.
