The Loretto Chapel was built in the 1870s. The chapel is mostly famous for its helix-shaped spiral staircase that some people claim to be a miracle. A hotel, spa, restaurant, and a small mall corridor have been built connected to the chapel over the years...

A fan which is affixed to the ceiling. This particular one doubles as a ceiling lamp. It has three speeds, and keeps the room cool in the summer.
The working end of a lift in a giant warehouse which stored the fertilizer before loading into a railroad car. Entrance to this walkway was an outside protected ladder which is now collapsed.
So Patrick is sad that he couldn't climb up to this viewpoint while Nancy is happy that silly Patrick couldn't climb up to this viewpoint!
This lovely room has numerous glass sculptures stacked on the ceiling. Lights above cast colorful shadows on the walls.

One chapter closes, another begins. We all know the drill...
I began my foray into retail photography in 2011. Sometimes we wish time could stand still, that a moment could be preserved for the future and saved from being thrown in the memory hole to be lost forever. Photography has been there for me as a hobby for me through the good times and pushed me to overcome those times that were horrible. Over the years, I've grown as a photographer and most importantly, as a person. I've met or talked to many great people and truly appreciate the support from all of you over the years. Through photography, I was given a sense of purpose in this world that sometimes seems to be lacking one.
Please enjoy these photos from my trip to the Galleria mall in downtown Cleveland back in June 2015. I somehow never got around to posting these photos from one of my all-time favorite photoshoots. These photos to me symbolize the high point of my photography, as I was actually being filmed by a crew from Vice at the time (visible in the background of some of these shots). I was always going on day trips to photograph new locations and posting regularly back then too. It seems like now is as fitting of a time as any to post some of these shots.
One of the hard lessons of life is that nothing lasts forever... I'm now 23 and focusing on going forth with a career. Lately, I've been mostly working six days a week; it doesn't appear that will change anytime in the near future. A large part of me wants to continue to capture and post new photos, but sadly I just don't have the time anymore. I have never made money off of my photography nor do I see any path towards doing so. One day, I still plan to own my own business and hopefully even have time for photography again. I'd love to get permission to explore abandoned places plus take the time and effort to capture some amazing photos that would put anything I have done up to this point to shame. It looks like it is going to be a while before (or even if) that happens though. I will likely still post some things sporatically, but nothing like I used to.
So one chapter closes and another begins. There's plenty to look forward to on the road ahead plus i'll be sure to look back on the past every so often.
So, it is with a heavy heart that I say farewell, at least for now...
Thank you all for being there through this journey; I wish you all the best and hope you all are successful on your own endeavours.

Walton's church of St James is a small and neat structure dating from 1750, sitting next to Gilbert Scott's Victorian Gothic Walton Hall. The presence of stained glass in the windows however indicates that the church did not come through the Victorian period untouched (Pevsner says it was enlarged in 1842).
Inside the church is very attractive with decorative plaster ceilings though the stained glass diffuses the Georgian atmosphere somewhat. The 'Venetian' east window and flanking lights in the tiny projecting chancel are the work of Clayton & Bell and centres on a crucified Christ who looks somewhat older than 33! Two later pictoral north nave windows are rather heavily ornamented and along with the ornamental glazing opposite subdue what must have originally been a very light interior.
The church is generally kept open to visitors during normal daylight hours.

Sheldon: I've been giving the matter some thought, and I think I'd be willing to be a house pet to a race of superintelligent aliens.
Leonard: Interesting.
Sheldon: Ask me why?
Leonard: Do I have to?
Sheldon: Of course, that's how you move a conversation forward.
Leonardr: Why?
Sheldon: The learning opportunities would be abundant, additionally, I like having my belly scratched...

One of the many painted ceilings in the Vatican. This one is actually a small dome, though it doesn't really show up well in 2D.
Now part of Ottawa City Hall; they call it the Heritage Building.

The Former Ottawa Teacher’s College National Historic Site of Canada is located on Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa. A fine example of late-19th century eclectic design, the building’s two-and-a-half-storey front block is a balanced composition exhibiting an eclectic interpretation of the Gothic Revival Style. The roof, in the Second Empire style, with a central spired belfry, features a gable and a lively series of turrets. The building is now part of the Ottawa City Hall Complex. Official recognition refers to the former school building on its original lot.

The Former Ottawa Teacher’s College was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1974 because it is a nationally significant example of the Gothic Revival Style in Canada whose use of disparate architectural details reflects a spirit of eclecticism.
The Ottawa Teacher’s College or Normal School, designed by the architect W.R. Strickland and built in 1874-1875 by J. Forin under supervising architect James Mather, was the second institution of its type to be established in Ontario. The College continued to train teachers for Ontario until 1974. Purchased by the regional government, an office complex was constructed to the rear. After municipal amalgamation, the building became part of Ottawa City Hall.
The rectangular massing with central pavilion of the main block follows an accepted format for 19th century academic institutions, while the use of disparate architectural details including a mix of pointed Gothic-style, semi-circular and flat-headed windows, Romanesque columns, and Second Empire-style roof, reflects a spirit of eclecticism.

The Heritage Building was formerly the Ottawa Normal School, built in 1875. It was the second Normal School established in Ontario and is the oldest still standing today. In 1879, a model school for 360 pupils was added. As well, an assembly hall and additional classrooms were added in 1892.
The original architect, WR Strickland, chose the Gothic renaissance style to reflect the influence of the parliament buildings. Semi-circular Italiante windows, Romanesque columns and Second Empire roof complete the Victorian structure. The exterior walls are made from limestone quarried in Gloucester Township. The roof is slate and all the decorative trim is made of cast iron.
The building was purchased by the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton (RMOC) in 1987, which built the office complex to the rear. Restoration and renovation work began in early 1988. Renamed the Heritage Building, it officially was reopened as part of Regional Headquarters in May 1990. After municipal amalgamation in 2001, the building became Ottawa City Hall. Today it is the executive block of Ottawa City Hall housing the offices of the Mayor, City Manager and City Clerk.
The Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, showcasing Ottawa sports legends, is now permanently housed on the first floor of the building.

I Tesori della Loggia sono cinque gioielli architettonici, vicinissimi tra loro, ubicati nel centro storico della città tra la via Roma e il mare: Oratorio del SS. Rosario in San Domenico, Oratorio del SS. Rosario in Santa Cita, Chiesa di Santa Cita, Chiesa di San Giorgio dei Genovesi, Chiesa di Santa Maria in Valverde. Custodiscono opere d'arte straordinarie di Anton Van Dyck, Luca Giordano, Matthias Stom, Pietro Novelli, Filippo Paladini, Giacomo Serpotta.
La compagnia del SS. Rosario in San Domenico fu fondata nel 1568 e l'oratorio realizzato nei locali adiacenti l'abside della Chiesa di S. Domenico intorno al 1574. In questo oratorio si fondono in armonioso equilibrio pittura e scultura determinando una perfetta integrazione dei linguaggi figurativi nella loro funzione iconografica ed estetica.
I dipinti seicenteschi furono integrati con un apparato decorativo in stucco eseguito da GIACOMO SERPOTTA dal 1710 al 1717. L'intervento plastico doveva valorizzare e risaltare il discorso teologico di matrice domenicana che affidava ai Misteri e alle Allegorie di Virtù la contemplazione e l'espiazione dei peccati. Il ciclo iconografico si sviluppa in senso verticale ed orizzontale attraverso un gioco di rimandi tra le tele, le statue, gli ovali, le terzine di putti. Tra la tela raffigurante il mistero e l'ovale con la scena dell'apocalisse, l'artista dispone tre angeli-puttini con il compito di congiungere le due scene e allegerirne la lettura. Tra le tele invece vengono inserite leggiadre le statue allegoriche raffiguranti le Virtù, che riflettono il perfetto ideale della bellezza femminile dello spirito rococò.
L'affresco sulla volta raffigurante l'Incoronazione della Vergine, realizzato da PIETRO NOVELLI intorno agli anni venti del XVIII secolo, chiude il ciclo pittorico dell'oratorio.
Lungo le pareti s'inseriscono gli scanni lignei su cui sedevano i confrati, retti da mensole scolpite con soggetti zoomorfi nell'ultimo quarto del XVII secolo. Attraverso l'arco trionfale si accede al presbiterio e alla scenografica decorazione del catino e della cupola da cui si affacciano gruppi di dame e cavalieri appoggiati ad una balaustra. L'enorme dipinto di VAN DYCK raffigurante la Madonna del Rosario con i Santi domenicani (Domenico, Vincenzo Ferrei, Caterina da Siena) e le Sante Patrone di Palermo (Rosalia, Agata, Oliva, Cristina, Ninfa) si staglia imponente sulla parete d'altare. Tra i Misteri del Rosario di particolare interesse le tele del Novelli (Gesù fra i Dottori, La Pentecoste), La Flagellazione di MATTHIAS STOMER, di GUGLIELMO BORREMANS (La Visitazione)
