An aging post at an abandoned house in the historic area of Savannah; both the post and the vine have seen many days, and better days.

Nightshot of a bar in the Shockoe Slip district, in Richmond, Virginia. Considering that this is a 20 second exposure, I got really lucky that all movements were frozen in time pretty well. I love some of the architectural detail and how that one window has the perfect light on it. Even the two folks standing in front of the bar must have stood fairly still.

Bit of a different treatment on this version. I can’t decide which I like best.
I originally posted this as a color shot and then Mary Ann wondered what it would look like in black and white. I gave it a go with a red filter in Paint Shop Pro XII and I liked it, so here it is! This lovely church, completed in 1815 in the style of Spanish Mission, was made world famous by the magnificent early works of Georgia O’Keefe and Ansel Adams. Since their time, thousands of succeeding artists have made the pilgrimage to Ranchos de Taos in honorarium, and to add their own images to the countless examples extant in the modern age. This is a composite of two photos subsequently cropped to create a single photo in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Converted to monochrome in Paint Shop Pro XII. Pentax K20D, 1/160 @ F11, ISO 200, 20mm

This is a detail shot of the Pantheon in Paris, France. I used a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera and 18-55mm lens. The Panthéon (Latin Pantheon, from Greek Pantheon, meaning “All the Gods”) is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after many changes now combines liturgical functions with its role as a famous burial place. It is an early example of Neoclassicism, with a façade modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a small dome that owes some of its character to Bramante’s “Tempietto”. Located in the 5th arrondissement on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the Panthéon looks out over all of Paris. Its architect, Jacques-Germain Soufflot, had the intention of combining the lightness and brightness of the gothic cathedral with classical principles. Soufflot died before his work was achieved, and his plans were not entirely followed. The transparency he had planned for his masterpiece was not attained. Nevertheless, it is one of the most important architectural achievements of its time and the first great neoclassical monument. I sold a large framed print with black frame and bright white matt to a lovely couple in Geneva, Switzerland. Many thanks indeed. This was featured in the Canon DSLR Group.
Is that what this amazing carving, on the Abbey in Carcassonne, is telling us? /
Others related images: 1.987 – 1.992 ENGLISH Client: Junta de Andalucía / Architect: Santiago Calatrava / Type: Bowstring / Span: 656 ft / Use: Mixed Local Authorities ordered from Sevilla Santiago Calatrava bridge to provide access to Cartuja island where the Universal Exhibition held in Seville in 1992. In its original form two bridges planned Calatrava symmetrical and opposed to each side of the Cartuja island to provide access to the important exhibition. Subsequently, due to excessive cuts in the budget, the client chose to perform a single bridge over a viaduct of 500 meters in total length. The Alamillo Bridge finally stood on the east side of Round Ring, meander through the San Jeronimo, a tributary of the Guadalquivir river. Highlights of this work is undoubtedly the spectacular cable-stayed pylon height of 142 meters final with the help of 13 pairs of wires that are anchored to the bottom of the deck and through its own weight, get long sustain board 200 meters in total length. This enormous basin, which contains within itself a staircase than one viewpoint at the summit which is called “the eye of the horse’s head” and from which you can see a panoramic view of the entire city of Seville has an inclination of 58 degrees resembles one of the pyramids of Egypt, Cheops. It would give the board a mixed use which was distributed in three lanes for each direction of traffic on both sides and a walkway for pedestrians and bicycles higher in the center. Inspiration Calatrava imagined prior to the completion of this majestic bridge was triggered by a previous sculpture designed by the architect himself called “Torso in motion.” ESPAÑOL Cliente: Junta de Andalucía / Arquitecto: Santiago Calatrava / Tipo: Atirantado / Vano: 200 metros / Uso: Mixto Las Autoridades Locales de Sevilla encargaban a Santiago Calatrava un puente para dar acceso a la isla de la Cartuja donde se celebraría la Exposición Universal de Sevilla en el año 1.992. En su primer diseño Calatrava había previsto dos puentes simétricos y opuestos a cada lado de la isla de la Cartuja para dar acceso a la importante Exposición. Posteriormente, debido a recortes excesivos en el presupuesto, el cliente prefirió realizar un solo puente más un viaducto de 500 metros de longitud total. El Puente del Alamillo se situó finalmente en el lado este de la Ronda de Circunvalación, atravesando el meandro de San Jerónimo, un afluente del río Guadalquivir. Lo más destacado de esta obra es sin lugar a dudas el espectacular pilón atirantado de 142 metros de altura final que con la ayuda de 13 pares de cables que se anclan a la parte inferior de la cubierta y mediante su propio peso, consiguen sustentar el largo tablero de 200 metros de longitud total. Este enorme pilón, que contiene en su interior una escalera de acceso superior a un mirador situado en la cúspide al que se le conoce como “El ojo de la cabeza de caballo” y desde el que se divisa una vista panorámica de toda la ciudad de Sevilla, dispone de una inclinación de 58 grados similar a una de las pirámides de Egipto, Keops. Se le daría un uso mixto al tablero que se distribuyó en tres carriles para cada sentido de tráfico rodado a ambos lados y una pasarela para peatones y bicicletas más elevada en el centro. La inspiración previa que imaginó Calatrava para la realización de este majestuoso puente vino motivada por una escultura previa diseñada por el propio arquitecto llamada “Torso en movimiento”. © José Miguel Hernández Hernández

Left alone..abandoned..to withstand the storm alone..once filled with love.laughter…and energy..Now is still..lifeless..and untouched…voices fill the halls, yet no one is there..memories fill the walls..yet so warn, torn, and broken only tears remain…The waiting never ends..the ache burns within.. Echo’s of long ago run through the halls..but they are only echo’s of the past, it’s the only thing left..The pain is there..The emptiness and hollow feeling goes on..and..on.feeling like it is never going to end. / They come and they go..touching..opening..closing..pounding,..but never do they stay..they slam the door and walk away, never to be seen again…One day this has to end..there has to be peace..harmony and life again.. / Tires approach…silence follows.. Then the silence is broken.. there is laughter in the air..sunlight shines through the window..warm breezes fill the rooms..a sigh of relief is let loose from the beams.. for the sign now says SOLD!
