This is one my most favorite new buildings going up, owing mostly to the shape at the bottom not being a rectangle. Novel and makes for an impressive entrance. I cannot wait to get right under it.
This spider was hiding under the flower and I was actually thinking of cutting it, but when I brushed my hand from under the petals, I startled the spider and it ran to the top. before I could get the camera it was below again so this is the shot I got!
here is a shot of (I think) the same spider a couple weeks earlier, seen on the top of another of these flowers. www.flickr.com/photos/hbpeggy/198430730/
It's been about a year now since SFMOMA closed its doors for a major renovation & expansion project, and I find I'm really missing our premiere museum... But I was very excited when I read the news earlier this year that the expansion is going to include a dedicated Center for Photography: www.sfmoma.org/our_expansion/expansion_project/expansion_...

Driehaus Museum

Here is the first picture in the series - with a lot of additional information.
Located at 50 East Erie, the six-story, 32,193-square-foot French Renaissance-style building, purchased by the Driehaus Museum in 2022, was built between 1923 and 1926 by the American College of Surgeons. Designed by noted Chicago architects Benjamin Marshall and Charles E. Fox of Marshall and Fox, the Murphy was used originally to host meetings and serve as a center for education in surgery. Its iconic exterior is Marshall’s interpretation of the double-columned, two-story façade and flanking entry staircase of the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Consolation (1900) in Paris. (from press release)

Bell tower of St. Lawrence Cathedral on the old town in Trogir :)
Trogir is a historic town and harbour on the Adriatic coast in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia. Since 1997, the historic centre of Trogir has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Trogir has a high concentration of palaces, churches, and towers, as well as a fortress on a small island. Trogir is the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex not only in the Adriatic, but in all of Central Europe. Trogir's medieval core, surrounded by walls, comprises a preserved castle and tower and a series of dwellings and palaces from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. In the 3rd century BC, Trogir was founded by Greek colonists from the island of Vis, and it developed into a major port until the Roman period. In 1123 Trogir was conquered and almost completely demolished by the Saracens. However, Trogir recovered in a short period to experience powerful economic prosperity in the 12th and the 13th centuries. In 1420 the period of a long-term Venetian rule began. On the fall of Venice in 1797, Trogir became a part of the Habsburg Empire, which ruled over the city until 1918. After World War I, Trogir, together with Croatia, became a part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and subsequently, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During World War II, Trogir was occupied by Italy and subsequently liberated in 1944. Since then it belonged to the second Yugoslavia, and from 1991 to Croatia.

Wieża katedry św. Wawrzyńca na starówce w Trogirze :)
Trogir jest chorwackim miastem portowym na wybrzeżu Morza Adriatyckiego, znajdującym się w środkowej Dalmacji. Starówka Trogiru wpisana jest na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa Kulturalnego i Przyrodniczego UNESCO od 1997 roku. Zwarta, średniowieczna starówka Trogiru położona jest na wyspie. Wzdłuż portu znajduje się wysadzany palmami, szeroki bulwar, wokół którego skupia się wieczorne życie miasta. Znajdują się tam najważniejsze zabytki, ale też restauracje, bary i hotele. Historyczne centrum za pomocą mostu połączone jest z kontynentalną częścią Chorwacji. Drugi z mostów prowadzi na wyspę Čiovo. Trogir założony został w III wieku p.n.e. przez greckich kolonistów z wyspy Issa pod nazwą Tragurion (Kozia Wieś). Od tego czasu Trogir stał się znaczącym portem. Od roku 1107 pod panowaniem węgierskim. W roku 1123 zniszczony przez Saracenów. Miasto odbudowano 70 lat później. Od 1420 pod panowaniem Weneckim. Po upadku Wenecjan, miasto weszło w skład cesarstwa austro – węgierskiego, a po I wojnie światowej zostało włączone do Jugosławii, natomiast po jej rozpadzie w 1991 zostało częścią Chorwacji.
More reflections in the Stata Center for Artificial Intelligence at MIT, Cambridge MA. The chromium plates in this photo make a strange pattern of the Daliesque windows, brown brick of the pavement and the blue sky. Again no Photoshop was used other than for cropping and minor tonal adjustments.

This is Gothenburg's oldest statue and it is located in the center of Gustav Adolf's Square since 1854.
Gustavus Adolphus is the founding father of Gothenburg.
The statue is made of bronze and stands on a high quadratic bronze plinth on top of a stepped base of stone.
A production I'm proud of. The photo straight out of the camera was towards black but, with photoshop, I gradually teased this out of it. It took me some time and a lot of trialling of various techniques. I hope you think the result is worth it. I've spent time admiring the various scenarios. The original looked like this:

A whole team of them scale this beheamoth of glass and metal to make sure the inhabitants can see outside. Nope. No thank you!

Crab apples near the building where I live, as they look in Autumn :)
Crabapples are widely grown as ornamental trees, grown for their beautiful flowers or fruit, with numerous cultivars selected for these qualities and for resistance to disease.
There are over 35 species and 700 cultivated varieties of crabapples and have been a part of the home landscape for many years.
Blossoms often open from pink or red buds and change to paler shades after opening, creating a beautiful pink cloud lasting several weeks. Asian crab apple specimens are usually preferred for ornament because their fruits are more colorful and last into the winter providing food for over-wintering birds.
Apples and crabapples are in the rose family, Rosaceae, in the genus Malus. Crabapples are differentiated from apples based on fruit size. If fruit is two inches in diameter or less, it is termed a crabapple. If the fruit is larger than two inches, it is classified as an apple.
Due to their versatility, crabapples make excellent choices for use around homes, schools, parks, public and commercial buildings, and in highway plantings.
My aim was to shoot some railway pics, this bridge has a good view to Ulm main station. The railway pics were all crap but I liked the black & white version of the bridge shot!
