view of Civic Center Park and City & County Building in the background.
Civic Center has long been the government, arts, history, and learning nexus of both the state of Colorado and the Denver Metropolitan Area. Among the institutions in the Civic Center are Denver Art Museum and the Denver Central Library along the park's south side, the Colorado State Capitol and the City and County Building of Denver along the east and west axis of the park, the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building on the park's north side, and the History Colorado Center and the Ralph Carr Colorado Judicial Center to the southeast of the park. The Denver Mint lies immediately west of the Civic Center Park across the street from the City and County Building.

The river side (back side of this building) is a huge and imposing art deco structure that looks like a chair and was once called Insull's Throne or Insull's Folly - depending on whether or not you thought that Samuel Insull had made a wise choice by building a huge 45 story structure at the onset of the Great Depression.

...sgargiante Signora sui '70, con una dialettica perfetta e il trucco in esubero che alla Domenica delle Palme non trovava un civico, ma ha trovato Me.
Cercava Walter, racconta che è una Sua allieva.
Frizzante mi passa il telefono per parlare con "il Maestro".
Walter è quel grafico un pò datato con lo Studio appena giri l'angolo, che parcheggia sempre l'auto un pò a cazzo...e la domenica da corsi di fotografia per tutte le età .
Forse questo mi ha salvata, avere la finestra spalancata in un giorno grigio e questo folletto simpatico mi ha fatto voglia di ricominciare.
Non ho avuto un blocco creativo ma paura di non essere all'altezza...vista quella classe che profumava di energia di scatti alle prime armi mi è venuto il sorriso.
Ve lo Auguro...
A very similar shot I posted last year, just slightly tighter framed and a few steps to the right allowing a space between the building on the left and the guild tower.
The Lord Leycester Hospital (often known simply as the Lord Leycester) is one of the best preserved examples of medieval courtyard architecture in England and is a charity supporting ex-servicemen. It is located next to the West Gate, on High Street. The Hospital is a prominent and internationally famous feature of Warwick. For almost 900 years buildings have been erected and civic activity has taken place on the site, starting with the chapel built in 1126. The site was donated by the 12th Earl of Warwick in the 14th century to the United Guild of the Holy Trinity and St George. The Guild Hall, Great Hall and Master's House were constructed in the late 15th century. Over the centuries, the ancient buildings and 500 year old gardens have been admired by many famous visitors such as Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde, by Kings and Queens, such as King George V and the Queen Mother and ordinary travellers from around the world.

Oakland City Hall

Too much architecture. Too little time.
I only shot two photos in downtown Oakland on my way to Alameda Island. I'd actually taken a wrong turn and vowed to make an attempt to get back later in the afternoon. Sadly, I couldn't make the time.
So there's lots more opportunity in the Bay area for my camera and me next time out!
I was surprised to find such a good looking 1980 first generation Civic, and in such a very 1970s apple green colour to make it even better. This must be a facelifted model, since it has a hatch. First Civics did not come with one.
See for more of my car photos:
Walthamstow Town Hall was built between 1938-42 in an Art Deco style, to a design by architect Philip Dalton Hepworth. It is now the head office of Waltham Forest Borough Council.
My friend sent me a link saying this theater opened in 1941 and ultimately closed in 1984. It had been used as warehouse space until it closed for good.

It contains a 3,563-seat opera house, the Civic Opera House, which is the second-largest opera auditorium in North America. Today, the opera house is the permanent home of the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
