Reflection or no?

I say the green is not a reflection because the green in the right hand image doesn't line up centered with the house; it is in between gables. What do you think?

MISTY ANNE

One of my favorite photos. The baby, "Misty Anne" was born June 7, 2007. I was able to take pictures before she had stood for the first time. She was only minutes old in this photo. What a "sweetie"

BOW/EDISON FIELD TRIP

After going thru 192 pictures I have decided my favorites are all of you. What a fun and memorable day. Caught in the act of doing what we love. Great food, friends, a friendly town, cameras, tri-pods and sunshine!!

Olympia Urban Architecture

All night hot dog stand in front of Jake's Bar in Olympia.
They say the fresh dipped corn dogs are to die for.
I Love Olympia - need I say anymore?

Inside Architecture

I like garages ... they tell a lot about our lives

Urban Density

A couple old photos with different interpretations of "urban density"

Urban density, Provence-stlye

Coney Island - the "Beach House and the Projects"

Lines ... it's all about lines ...

as I was traveling recently, thinking of our class project, I began taking fotos.

I think architecture is truly all about lines. for structure, for beauty, for direction. I like the departure foto as it has it all. a clock is ticking, the departures are leaving, the lady is looking for the line she needs to find ... romance? holiday? work?

ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Last but not least. I realized the top of this building was missing in the first picture I choose of this building. I like it best because of the artistic way the sidewalk was made into a sculpture with the upheaval of the concrete but in order to get the interest of the sidewalk I cut off the top of the building. It is still my favorite but thought it might make better sense with a full photo and a little explanation?

URBAN LANDSCAPES & ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOS

URBAN LANDSCAPES

150 Pictures later I am having a hard time deciding which ones to share. I became fascinated with the art work on the buildings and with the corner buildings utilizing maximum building area in a different shape than square. I also found a new appreciation for Bellingham. I saw things I had never noticed before and hours later I realized I will never look at it the same. The city is filled with so much talent and beauty even in what seemed dirty alleys. There were picture worthy scenes everywhere.

Where's Waldo?

This mystery site required finding a viewpoint, the use of a ladder and a pitstop for a Cherry Coke. All will be revealed on Tuesday.

The first person to identify the specific urban landscape, or come closest, will receive a small box of chocolate from my chocolate truffle class tomorrow.
