This sunset view of San Luis Bay was taken from Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. The California Polytechnic State University Pier goes across the back of the photo. Behind the pier is the small Whalers Island on the left, Point San Luis and San Luis Hill on the center right.
The Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society founded in 1833, "to promote the useful and fine arts, to encourage industry, and to elicit the ingenuity of a community distinguished for its mechanical skill". I have to say, the main entrance is a lot nicer looking......
I'm very grateful for all your visits and would like to thank you now for stopping by, and any comments you may leave. Much appreciated, John...

An unusual mini-sculpture was unveiled on the facade of the main building of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, which faces Museum Square. It is called "Sugar Beet" and is dedicated to the Kyiv sugar merchants who initiated the creation of the Polytechnic Institute in Kyiv at the end of the nineteenth century and supported its construction and arrangement at their own expense.
It’s a symbolic tribute to Kyiv patrons who gave a significant part of their income from sugar production to the development of the city. And yes, it was opened on the 125th anniversary of the university.

Скульптурка «Цукровий бурячок» – присвячена київським меценатам-цукрозаводчикам, які розбудовували місто на межі ХІХ-ХХ століть. А також сучасним підприємцям, які розвивають Київ сьогодні, попри війну та з вірою в перемогу України.
«Цукровий бурячок» встановлено на стіні Київського політехнічного інституту, тому що його було засновано 1898 року за ініціативи й активної участі київських цукрозаводчиків.

This amazing building is the design child of famed architect, Dr. Santiago Calatrava. The automatic fins on top of the structure open and close to allow efficient use of available light. This IST (Innovation, Science and Technology) building is home to an ultra fast super computer, a 3D printing lab and a host of additional teaching and learning devices. Oh, and there are a number of very intelligent geeks hanging around, as well, with more on the way.
Science, and Technology (IST) Building is the university's main facility. It houses 26 classrooms, faculty and administrative offices, seven labs–including a 3D printing lab, cybersecurity lab, and health informatics lab.
The building is also home to the school's digital library. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the building includes 94 robotic louvers on the roof that move to accommodate changing sunlight patterns.

This iron fountain was originally built in the middle of the Polytechnic Institute of Gyumri, in Armenia.
On December 7th 1988 a terrible earthquake caused several thousands of victims in Northern Armenia and totally destroyed huge areas of Gyumri. While all the surrounding buildings of the Polytechnic Institute were torn apart, this fountain had no damage at all. Many homeless people, waiting to receive a new house, settled in huts all around the fountain in an area that is now known as "Fountain District". Some of them are still there.

This is an image of the main building at Florida Polytechnic University , in Lakeland Florida.
I made the image for the Group 52 weeks , and the assignment was "repeating patterns".
Not my usual landscape . But you can see a Great Blue Heron flying on the right side . The building is surrounded by water . It is a very unusual building, hard for me to capture .

Meet the IST Building on the campus of Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland, Florida. Designed by Spanish architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava, this is the main university facility.
I've driven by it on the I-4 several times, but today was the first time I've taken a moment to stop. The building has been well-photographed by many, and I'll throw my hat in the ring with this shot, taken Saturday, October 6, 2018.

My new book "Toronto In Colour: the 1980s" - available at Blurb Books
Book Introduction:
There is a feeling of freedom walking around a city with a camera. At 62, I still have that feeling but it was more pronounced when I was in my mid twenties, studying photography as a student at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. I took a lot of photographs in my early years in Toronto, capturing street scenes and ordinary aspects of daily life that happened to catch my eye. American photographer Henry Wessel sums up my approach in this way: “Part of it has to do with the discipline of being actively receptive. At the core of this receptivity is a process that might be called soft eyes. It is a physical sensation. You are not looking for something. You are open, receptive. At some point you are in front of something that you cannot ignore.”
I had no way to anticipate how significant these Toronto photos would seem to me 30 years later. They show things that no longer exist, even though it hasn’t been that long. Without necessarily trying to, I caught images of buildings, cars, fashions, gadgets that are no longer part of our world. Toronto’s entire skyline is utterly changed, part of the inevitable growth and evolution.
Back in the 1980s I would shoot a roll of film (usually black and white), process it a few days later and make a contact sheet. After that I might make an enlargement of one or two of the strongest shots, and then move on. The contact sheets may have been reviewed from time to time when I was preparing for an exhibition, but basically I didn’t look at them for years and years.
Looking back, I wish I had taken more colour photos, but I’m thankful for the ones I have. There were reasons for not shooting much colour. First, there was the added cost; second, I didn’t have much access to a colour darkroom to make prints. And in those days black and white was the preferred medium for fine art and documentary photographers. Ernst Haas was one of the few to exhibit colour photographs. William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Edward Burtynsky and other colour specialists were just emerging, and colour photography was not yet fully accepted in the art world.
There is a sense of hyper realism in a colour photograph, like looking at a Technicolor movie, that you don’t get with the more abstract black and white view. Japanese photographer Shin Noguchi is one of my favourites. Chuck Patch writes, in the introduction to Noguchi’s In Colour in Japan, “He prefers shooting in colour, because he says, black and white distances his audience by interjecting a layer of artifice between the viewer and the ‘Real World.’” And there’s also the psychological component of how the colours make us feel. Toronto In Colour: the 1980s is a collection of colour photos not seen in the three Toronto books I assembled previously; many of these images, in fact, haven’t ever been posted or published at all. Enjoy!
