The original Tappen Zee Bridge was built in 1955 where Interstate 87 flowed over north to Albany and straight on to the Canadian border towards Montreal. However by the ninety eighties it was already obsolete in design in that it was too narrow to handle the contemporary traffic flow. By the nineties negligence and the elements forced the state to spend huge amounts on money just to keep it safely repaired and there were was strong pressure to have a new bridge replaced it. Finally after literally decades of political and financial haggling the new replacement bridge shown above opened up for service with two extra lanes for traffic and considered vastly more visually pleasing in design compared to the old bridge was considered by many an eyesore and named after Governor Mario Coumo who initiated the moves to have a new bridge built while the old bridge which was dynamited and sold for scrap.

The Financial Center Building is a 15-story Art Deco building located at 401-415 Fourteenth Street, Oakland, California. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Reed and Corlett, whose partners were Walter Reed and William Corlett. Construction of the building was completed in 1929 at a cost of $1.5 million.
The building has elements of both Gothic Revival and Art Deco. It is covered in sand-blasted terra cotta and has beautiful light fixtures in the lobby. Notable are the floral decorative motifs and stylized eagles (a financial symbol) in the spandrels. Above the main entrance is an old oak tree, flanked by a pair of eagles, and ram heads underneath.
Was never happy with the original image so when we went past thought I'd give it another go, quite pleased with it.

11 000 large scallop shells were used as roof tiles, with a further 4,500 crushed into aggregate for the building's concrete front patio. This summer refuge was constructed towards the end of the loop known as the 'Circuit des cabanes' in Limognes-en-Quercy, on the high plateau above the river Lot. Over 20 shepherd's huts and cabanes, along with many associated walls were restored by a talented team over a period of some 20 years. The quality of their work certainly deserved recognition and financial support, as the 'petit patrimoine' of the Occitanie is in much need of skill-set, raw material and chronophage purpose. The above building offers new lines and is the second example of modern refuge, or sleep-over point along the Europes main pilgrim's path to north west Spain. A second example - Super-Cayrou (linked below) - helps to add dynamic to the subject of dry stone. The above 'Pecten Maximus' project is not without interest, despite an entrance that perhaps feels closer to 'residential supplement' than rural practicality.

Tough times. Even George Washington is looking for cover. At the Federal Building in the Financial District, New York City
i guess i like street shots for the fact that you dont necessarily need any central point of focus. u just capture the scene as is and get the over all mood of the shot.
i had to clone a person out of this shot, and i suck a cloning but i did my best !
A shot of the Broomielaw as I came out of work, this was in between heavy showers! i have a shot facing the other way at the squiggly bridge but i've not got time to post tonight.

Happy hump day! Half way there guys..... Here's one from the city last week; Canary Wharf during golden hour. There was some awesome clouds and reflections, combined with some insane light. It was perfect as I worked my way around capturing one of the largest business and shopping development in London.
Have a great day guys!
