The historic former Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego, California. The following information is excerpted from Wikipedia:
"The Santa Fe Depot in San Diego, California, is a union station built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
The Spanish Colonial Revival style station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A wing now houses the downtown branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
The Santa Fe Depot (as it was originally designated) officially opened on March 8, 1915, to accommodate visitors to the Panama-California Exposition. In its heyday, the facility not only handled Santa Fe traffic but also that of the San Diego and Arizona Railway (SD&A) and San Diego Electric Railway (SDERy). The designation was officially changed to "San Diego Union Station" in response to the SD&A's completion of its own transcontinental line in December 1919. The Santa Fe resumed solo operation of the station in January 1951 when the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway (successor to the SD&A) discontinued passenger service, the SDERy having ceased operation some two years prior.
The historic depot is still an active transportation center, and as of 2017, was the third busiest in California (behind only Los Angeles Union Station and Sacramento Valley Station) and the 10th busiest in the Amtrak system, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 2,130 passengers daily."

Typical Santa Fe home, I love it.
I especially love the owl protecting the house in the bottom left hand corner of the shot.
“The thing that matters most to me in photography, and art in general, is the sense of sharing the experiences of the artist or creator, of being with them, of seeing what they have seen through their eyes. Morocco has bewitched me (…)” by Harry Gruyaert

Finally have a replacement for my Nikon FE. Just put a roll through it tonight and will have some shots up tomorrow night. There are a few that I am looking forward to seeing and hope they turn out.
And I finally put the new SB600 to use, have a lot to learn I think.
A typical Adobe building in New Mexico, USA. A tall one too ! I've taken out all the rich pink-orange colour of the walls and the deep blue of the sky to concentrate on the architectural lines and textures here. ( Perhaps I'll put the original in the Colour Album ? )
« Adobe de Santa Fe » 2005
Un bâtiment Adobe typique du Nouveau Mexique, USA. Un grand bâtiment en plus ! J'ai enlevé toute la riche couleur rose-orange des murs et le bleu profond du ciel pour me concentrer sur les lignes architecturales et les textures. ( Je mettrai peut-être la photo couleur dans l'album couleur ? )
