Visit to an Old Gasoline Service Station

Many years ago, a local oil company built their service stations in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area to look like Japanese pagodas. There are very few left, and the one in Cedarburg, Wisconsin is now a retail store for a local custom jewelry designer/maker. The little store is located next to an old mill now used as an animal feed store.

Living in San Diego County we have a lot of Spanish style arcitecture.  SpanishVillaSunrise2 I just happen to be in this spot for a different photo shoot this morning when I turned around and saw part of the tower sticking out from among the trees. I took one quick photo which you are looking at and then resumed by photoshoot. All in all, I like this shot more than any other I took this morning. Its a bit different that what I normally share, but I like it.

A couple of night time pictures of one of my favorite restaurants in Steven's Point, WI. Every time I get up North I stop there to eat. The front of the restaurant is a old sleeper car. They have photos on the walls in which there is one that I really like. A photographer was able to capture a grasshopper in flight that was tack sharp and nice composition.

On a time limit today, but since Mr. Q seemed so upset at just one little flower I decided to post one little bit of Santa Fe Architecture.

 

More on Monday.  I promise.  Have a great weekend!

I revisited Groningen -the city where I work- for the challenge this time.
Groningen with her 42.000 students is one of the biggest city of knowledge in Nederland.
The main city transportation is of course the bicycle
The Railway Station is renovated 4 or 5 years ago. it has a beautiful ceiling

Opposite the station there is a contenporer Museum

This Iron Lady has been keeping an eye on her city for many years.


Constitution Day

Today was Constitution Day at school, so we had a special bulletin board explaining the constitution to the children, and a place for them to sign a scroll with a quill and ink.  We also watched a special DVD explaining the constitution in children's language.  I gather that this is suppose to be a National Day in schools to better acquaint our young people with the Constitution of the United States.  I worked at this today, but my Third Graders had a hard time understanding what this means to them.

Photo Shoot with Kirstin

Kirstin and I went on a shoot today in the North Loop neighborhood in Minneapolis. We found remnants of the old wood block roads abutting the cobblestones.  We also found what appear to be one hundred year old shoes and pottery shards in an excavation area for a new building.  Kirstin was weirded out by that.  By the quantity of shoes I suspect it must have been a shoe factory.  The late day light coming through the International Harvester Building was beautiful.

Last Thursday’s lunchtime photo mini vaction was to the Flatiron Building, built in 1902, on 23rd and 5th Ave.  Some people thought it would blow over in the wind.

Earlier this week I showed an old Dutch street to demonstrate texture and someone suggested that I straighten the picture - here is the Old street straightened.  I also posted some yellow orchids that BusyB suggested that I rework -  Yellow orchids reworked.  Someone in the past couple days showed a nastursiam leaf (not sure of spelling)  and I had these that looked similar - Orange Beauties.
When on the farm in Iowa my brother-in-law was so pleased with his apple trees, he was happy that he would get a good crop this year - Sunlight on Apples and Green apples against blue sky.
I think that these flowers always look so crisp and clean - Daisy Poster.

“Your typical city involved in a typical daydream”

I’ve been trying to walk over to the Chrysler Building during my lunch hour and get close-ups of the beautiful art deco building.  It’s about a 20 minute walk from my office, but I keep getting distracted by other joyfulobjects of reflection.  

“joyful” is Don Phillip’s composition from his 1946 NYC post, photo number 6.
It is 500 Fifth Ave shot from the steps of the NY Public Library, built by the same architect and in the same year as the Empire State Building.
