A lot of terra cotta panels on this building c.1900 - This panel must have been an uplifting experience for pupils arriving each day - I guess it would not be very PC today. Now used by the local authority as offices etc.
handheld 1/10s view from reading seat (shared with cat Woody) - with review deadline, wisdom tooth recovery and arctic temperatures outside, I spent whole day reading - though for much of the afternoon Woody had this space to himself and I was on chair to the right of frame
We took a tour of the Washington National Cathedral, which is walking distance from Evan's apartment. I'd been there once on the super-fail 8th grade class trip of 1996, but we didn't see very much then.
D.C. regulations restrict very tall buildings, which means that the tower of the Cathedral is one of the highest places in the city, so he recommended I get to see the view. It was just in time, too, because the next month the Virginia earthquake damaged the building and closed it for several months. The restoration might not be done for years.
Also I thiiiink I'm sitting under the Wisconsin flag.
Detail above front entrance - SANDSTONE AND CERAMICS. This detailing is unusual in that it lacks the 'flourishes' of the Art Nouveau and the transition to Edwardian - in fact it is slightly 'art deco' in character and pre dates CRM's work at Derngate, Northampton - 1916 - 1917.
Closest I can get to the GOLDEN HOUR. It has been raining for several days and I leave for a trip out of town on business. ( I only will take my camera if I am driving. I do not trust my camera on a plane)
She woke up all bright and cheerful today. Great way to lead into the weekend. Happy Friday everyone!
