One last picture of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, this time the exterior – I wanted toget in close enough to eliminate a lot of the background, yet still show off it’s unusual shape, to make the photo more about the geometry, and the lines. I converted the image to a high contrast black and white, the building is really quite dirty and the black and white reduced the amount of dirt that can be seen in the image.

El Drac de Gaudí at Finca Güell , great balconies designed by Gaudi, I wonder if what the neighbors would think if I was so inspired that I added one of these fascinating balconies to my 2nd floor window? I love them, but they might not be quite right in suburban Calgary!

The Cathedral Church of Florence Italy, and the cathedral complex are located in the Piazza del Duomo, and is part of the Unesco World Heritage Site. The day we were in Florence was a very cool and windy November day, we had only a few short hours to tour the site before heading to Pisa, it is definitely on my list of places to revisit.

Pisa, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Piazza del Duomo, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Pisa Italy. We visited Pisa last fall, unfortunately we were only able to spend a couple of hours. The area doesn’t seem that big when you first arrive on site, but the buildings are huge, and with the crowds of people, even in November when we were there the line-ups to get into the tower, were quite long. The architecture and the history makes this a place I could spend quite a bit of time at, and I realize that there is so much more to see in the city and surrounding area then just the Leaning tower.
Each week I spend some time travelling back in time, reviewing old photos, keywording and cataloguing my work, it is great because I get to revisit so many places, and memories. I hope someday to return to Pisa, to explore the world heritage site, and really get to know the city.

It is Friday, and it is cooler to day than it has been all week!
Winter is just around the corner I can feel it.
This is the pedestrian bridge and 10 St. andMemorial Dr. NW, Calgary Alberta. The photo was taken with a wide angle lens and not really as long as it looks.

Another beautiful view of downtown Calgary, just off Memorial Dr. and just below the Center Street lower deck. I will have to admit that I didn’t take this yesterday morning…………my alarm clock, aka Bill, slept in! yes you heard it hear. Bill had a late meeting (8am) at another office and rather than go to his office at the usual 7am he decided to sleep it. But didn’t tell me – so I too was running late and didn’t get out for photos before heading on my own round of appointments.
Tomorrow is a new day – there will be another sunrise – and I plan on seeing it.
