Architecture

I was running late to the wrestling meet this morning and just took a quick shot of a favorite round barn along the way. The morning fog froze on the trees and such. It would have been a very good morning to explore the countryside a little.

I stopped by to shoot my favorite barn a month ago ... and it was gone! Then it hit me ... one had been donated to the county fair. www.dalejtravis.com/barn/indiana/htm/in03401.htm

Here's and old photo from the files. I'm still not taking very many photos between being busy and poor weather conditions. I've had several of my contacts ask where the "Truth" photo came from and it was on one of the doors on the Indiana War Memorial pictured here.

Along my walk Saturday.

Another one of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings a few miles south of Taliesin East. Do you think it looks like a school? Built in 1957, the building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who donated his design and 2 acres of land to the Wyoming School District in honor of his mother, Anna Lloyd-Jones Wright. She had been a kindergarten teacher and encouraged his lifelong love of learning. The school opened in 1958 with 46 students in grades 1 through 8. After consolidating with the River Valley School district the building was used by the district 4th graders until being closed in 1990. The building then changed hands several times but mostly remained empty. In August of 2010 the school was given to the not-for-profit Wyoming Valley School, Inc., by Jeff Jacobsen, a local landowner and neighbor of the school. wyomingvalleyschool.org/

Great food and a great view.

Escanaba water tower in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

I stopped for lunch in Ladoga the other day and saw these neat old iron steps off the side of an alley.

I took time out from my chores today to walk down to the Landmarks open house at the newly renovated Centrum Building. Quite the deluxe place and I'm guessing it will really be a favorite spot for weddings from now on. This is the chandelier in the main auditorium.

Blue sky day here... finally! I rode the bike down to the camera store after class and I made another shot of the metal sculpture along the way.

Just a quick out of the window shot on our way through Columbus today.

Ore docks on Lake Superior at Marquette, Michigan.

Looks like it has it ... for your bungalow. Just a stop along my bike ride Sunday.
