This structure was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) during the 1930's. The men who worked for the CCC quarried the stone locally.
Willink Entrance Comfort Station at Prospect Park.Believe it or not,the structure is one of the restrooms facilities at the park.The limestone and yellow brick building was built in 1912.It kind of resembles a Spanish villa house.The restrooms are underneath the Tuscan columns off to the left and right.The park's maintenance office is on the right side.
...im Haus von le Corbusier.
Für alle, die das andere schon spartanisch fanden ;-)))

Finishing our tour of Navajo Nation we made a detour to Grand Canyon National Park from the east entrance at Cameron to Desert View Watchtower.
This is the view at Desert View Overlook from slightly north of the Desert View Watchtower looking northerly. Nice views of Chuar Butte and Peshlakai Point (any corrections for additions will be appreciated).
GRCA needs all the rain it can get. The Dragon Bravo fire is mostly contained but still burning on the North Rim.

Desert View Point (Elevation: 7438 feet/ 2267 meters)
Starting from the main Desert View parking area, a short .25 mile (.4 km) walk takes you past restrooms, the general store/market and the trading post. The point itself is located a few steps beyond the base of the historic Watchtower. There are guardrails around the cliff edge for your safety.
Directly below is the Colorado River's "Big Bend", where it dramatically shifts its previously southward course by executing a sharp 90-degree turn to the west, cutting directly into a major uplift on the Colorado Plateau known as the Kaibab Upwarp. Looking to the west, one can glimpse in the distance where the river plunges into the black, narrow, confined depths of the Granite Gorge. The airline distance to the opposite rim of the canyon is 18 miles; to the Colorado River, 4 miles. The river is about 300 feet wide as seen from Desert View.
To the east, several thousand feet below where you are now standing, is the broad expanse of a plateau known as the Marble Platform, which is part of the Navajo Nation. The brilliant colors of the Painted Desert can be glimpsed in the distance.
Also to the east, and situated back from the Canyon rim, is a prominent flat-topped mesa called Cedar Mountain. Just beyond this mountain the Little Colorado River gorge extends north and south as a crack in the surface of the earth. Tracing the gorge to the left, one may see where it connects with Grand Canyon. The point of connection is where Grand Canyon begins. From that point the Canyon extends 217 miles westward as measured by the Colorado River. Fifty miles of the canyon may be seen from Desert View.

Four miles from the national park boundary, Desert View offers the first glimpse of the Grand Canyon for visitors arriving from the east, and presents a spectacle rather different to most overlooks as one third of the panorama is of the flat plains of the Painted Desert, on the east side of the Colorado as it bends round to the north. The park road cannot follow the rim any further east as the ground falls away steeply towards Cedar Canyon, a tributary of the Little Colorado River, so the many other viewpoints are all found to the west. The land to the east is still accessible by trail, however.
The facilities at Desert View include a gas station, bookstore, shop, restaurant, campground, ranger station, acres of parking and the historic watchtower, built in 1932 right on the cliff edge and visible for many miles across this part of the canyon. One trail starts nearby - a long backcountry route that crosses the Painted Desert, passes close to Comanche Point and reaches Cape Solitude after 12 miles, directly above the Little Colorado River confluence.
Views at Desert View encompass many miles of the canyon, countless peaks and tributary ravines from Shoshone Point in the west as far north as Temple & Chuar Buttes (location of an aircraft crash in 1956), then above and beyond to the distant Vermilion & Echo Cliffs that enclose the start of the Grand Canyon at Lees Ferry. Several miles of the river can be seen, around the Tanner Creek rapids, which can be reached by the Tanner Trail starting from Lipan Point. The best time for photography at Desert View is in early morning, when the sun first illuminates the cliffs opposite, on the north rim below Cape Royal.

Baltschiederklause, the fine mountain hotel at the end of the Baltschiedertal. In Switzerland, it is important to enjoy your natural necessity in front of a great landscape. This time, in front of the summit of the Bietschhorn. Another example here.
No further description needed.
If my male flicker friends keep this in mind you will have a Happy New Year.
behauptet wird ...
es sei Deutschlands schönste Toieltte ...
muss ich sie euch zeigen ...
wenn ich auch technisch nicht zufrieden bin ...
lag einfach an dem Stress in der Damentoilette erwischt zu werden ...

die Herrentoilette sieht ähnlich aus, hat jedoch andere Kunst von Mad C ...
ich musste rennen, da die automatische Schiebetür zum hinteren Raum schnell wieder schloss, deshalb ist eine von den 3 "gemergden" Aufnahmen etwas verwackelt, ihr erkennt die Seite bestimmt ...
die Hähne auf dem Waschtisch (man musste aufpassen nicht vollkommen geduscht aus dem Raum zu gehen) erinnerten mich an ein Feld voller Windräder ... hilfesuschend schauten alle nach einer Möglichkeit die Hände zu trocknen ... einer der drei unterschiedlich großen Hähne, alle über Photodiode gesteuert, war ein Gebläse ;-) ... ;-) ...
moderne Toiletten haben jetzt oft keine Außentüren mehr, wie ein weiters Foto von mir zeigen wird, man baut einen "labyrinthischen" Sichtschutz ...

Throughout history, female nudes have been used in cemetery/memorial art. For a deeper examination, visit northstargallery.com/pages/Sensualilty.htm
Many images in this set were taken inside Forest Lawn Memorial Park's (California, USA) Great Mausoleum.
The general public is not allowed to enjoy these and many other works of art in the Great Mausoleum. Entry is granted only to those able to afford the high price of admission and their living family members.
Why?
I turned the door handle of the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California, USA and as the heavy door opened, I entered another world.
The massive, cathedral-like structure houses not only the remains of thousands able to afford the lofty ticket price for admission, it houses beautiful works of art. Sculptures, stained glass windows and ceilings, elegant marble throughout and massive architecture...all are off limits to the general public.
I didn't know at the time I turned that door knob, that Forest Lawn is consumed about keeping this structure and its contents strictly away from public view. I was simply a guy trying to take photos I like who quickly realized the challenges posed in this setting. I was simply on quest that began at the cemetery where my Mom and brother were buried almost twenty years ago.
One can attend a viewing of a stained glass window, The Last Supper, but, I've since returned (hoping to share with my family the splendor within) asking to enter the mausoleum. We were turned away. Forest Lawn's policy strictly prohibits entry to the general public.
Why? One would think that Forest Lawn (and its founder Mr. Eaton and its longtime and current President and CEO, John Llewellyn, would want to share with the wider world, the beauty contained within given the frequent ugliness which hits us in daily life...providing a form of comfort which is their business.
Forest Lawn loves attention but only on their terms. It thrives being known as the Disneyland of death services (and I mean that in the most respectful way ...after all, Walt Disney himself chose Forest Lawn) and hundreds of the famous and infamous call Forest Lawn home.
It is obvious Forest Lawn takes its mission seriously and provides a needed service exhibiting the highest levels of excellence from its impeccable grounds, to fine facilities and attentive staff.
Forest Lawn's theatrical stagings for adults and school children, its public art, museum and grounds filled with celebrities and movers and shakers, convey a seemingly mixed message when it comes to excluding the public from the massive amounts of great art held within the Great Mausoleum.
Why the exclusion? Staffing its maze of halls isn't a concern; staff members are everywhere throughout the park. Security? Sure it's in a bad neighborhood. But, as I wandered unknowingly in this remarkable place from which I was supposed to be excluded, I never saw graffiti...even in the restroom.
In fact, I never saw another soul (sorry, no pun intended). And, that, to me, is sad.
As I wandered, I was challenged by low light, by my impulse to rush my hand held shots since I had a vague gut feeling I was alone, but not; that someone was about to find me taking photos in a place where I was the forbidden invader...the only one...alive...appreciating fine art. Certainly, those entombed can not enjoy it.
Mr. Llewellyn, please open the doors to the Great Mausoleum for the public and the profound and positive impact its will have on us.
Mr. Llewellyn, I extend this offer:
if you have looked at my photos and they have spoken to you, please contact me. I will offer my photographic services to Forest Lawn to use in ways upon which we can agree.
The possibilities are limitless:
I can photographically catalog all of Forest Lawn's art at all its properties; the images could be published in many forms...books, dvd sets, and more; guided tours; respectful events built around the art and the images; museum exhibits.
Again, the possibilities are limitless and all can be accomplished in good taste equal to your mission statement and still be respectful of your residents and their families and, serve to educate and benefit the larger public.
Thank you,

A BIT OF BACKGROUND:
Many years ago after burying my mother and brother within days of the other, I was wandering their cemetery pondering and was intrigued by the statues I saw.
I was taken by the artist's talent in being able to capture the female form (since that was all the cemetery had). The sculptor's manipulation of the viewer's perceptions...cloth and how it draped, creating muscle tone, emotions displayed in facial expressions, all created from stone, piqued my interest.
I began an informal quest to research and find as many sculptures and to photograph them which overwhelmingly depicted the female nude (or partially so) in the cemetery/memorial setting.
As my cemetery visits grew, I began to realize that many of the sculptures seemingly evoked a sensuality in this form of memorial art.
Here, then, is my photos...a project in evolution...the female form as portrayed in an often sensual manner in memorial art.
Here I was trying to borrow the restroom at the lobby of Levi Strauss headquarter. When I was done, I looked out and saw these beams in front of the building. I had an impulse to take a photo of the whole pattern with my film camera. This is where your jeans were originated from, folks.
