Il Duomo In The Morning
The Duomo in Milan and it’s piazza are the living room of old town Milan.
We saw it in nearly every time of day. Walking by for lunch. Strolling in the evening during Passeggiata and in this case, in the morning as the sun rises over it’s at spires.
It looks different throughout the day and nearly every photo is different because of the way light plays On its ornate facade. I often liken it To a grand wedding cake created out of stone instead of frosting.

Downtown Denver Scene
Old and new in Downtown Denver. We found out on a historical house tour that much of downtown was bulldozed so there are just a few historical remnants scattered about. That is Trinity Methodist Church in the distance. One of the survivors.

A doorway within a doorway
Doorways of Milano
Where does this doorway lead? Sometimes you just have to follow it and see!
I collected many such pictures on our trip to Milan last September and have often done the same on past trips to Italy. They are always so fascinating especially when they give such tantalizing views of what lies beyond.

Doorways of Milano
Giorgio Armani, Milano
Who works here? What do they do? Where does this doorway lead?
I found myself asking these questions every time we passed an entry like this. I collected many such pictures on our trip to Milan last September and have often done the same on past trips to Italy. They are always so fascinating especially when they give such tantalizing views of what lies beyond.

Architectural Abstract
Another photo of architecture taken to its abstract limits. This isn’t someplace special or unique in regards to architecture but was found in a local shopping mall.
For myself, I was taken by the regular divisions of space in contrast to the larger panels and the curvature of the roof and how it effects the divisions.

Pettinaroli and Figli, Storefront, Milano, Italia
I ended up taking lots of photos of storefronts during this trip. There are so many interesting and unique displays and often the stores themselves are just as unique.

Architectural Abstract, Packing House, Claremont, California
The sunset created this amazing abstract light painting on the @claremontpacking building on Friday night while we had dinner at @eurekaclaremont .
My eye is often caught by these interesting patterns. So much so that @drrosannewelch will often ask just WHAT I am taking a picture of. 😀

Displaying and learning about painting should always be done in a building which is also a piece of art itself. The collonades and arches of the courtyard give a rhythm to the building even if the Napoleon as Greek God statue is a bit overdone. 😀
Another fine sight from our September 2018 trip to Milan.

My Los Angeles 77 – A Soaring Ceiling, Union Station
There is something special about starting or ending your journey at an exquisitely designed station like this. It makes the entire trip seem grander and more important — even if you are just going from Van Nuys to downtown or changing from the Red Line to the Gold Line or your way somewhere else.
Like many others, I am always struck with the architecture of Union Station and the hustle and bustle to be found there.
