Inside and Out

Just to post a photo or two. A couple of days ago I went down to Cincinnati's most iconic building, The Hall of Justice, aka Union Terminal - The Museum Center for the "Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away" exhibition. It's a very cool building and at some point I'll have to take my cameras. Until then, here are just a few phone photos.

(and the Auschwitz exhibit is very good too, if you don't see contemporary parallels, you're not paying attention)

I like abstracts and photos that feature one color in various shades and brightness. I think of them sort of as _____ (fill in the color) and white.
This is "blue"

Patterns From San Francisco

A few photos from a trip about 4 years ago to San Francisco. I barely looked at the photos before, the trip included a stop in Hawaii to see my son and his little family....that seemed to take precedence. Here are a number of the tall building photos I took.

Blink Again

Decided to drive the basic route Sunday night. Saw a bit more, but from a car window. Wasn't quite as crowded, being later, colder and a Sunday vice Friday night. Here are a whole bunch more:

St. Mary's and Radcliffe Camera

Today's walk in town included a trip up the tower at St Mary the Virgin to get a good view of Radcliffe Camera and the surrounding colleges. Today's weather was cooperative and the line wasn't very long. Once I made it up on the platform of the tower, I realized why they closely monitor and limit the number of people going up at any one time. The viewing area is a very tight squeeze on the tower itself and the last little bit of spiral stairs isn't very roomy either. Overall though, I found that I liked the view here better than the view from Carfax Tower, which is just about 2 blocks away.

Brasilia During Carnaval

isn't quite the party like Rio...but as a relatively recently "created" city (only a year older than me), it is known for it's modern architecture. Brasilia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
