Sculpture - Atlanta, Georgia

231 Peachtree Street NE - I know, not technically a building but so what. This sculpture is outside the Mall at Peachtree Center. I thought it was interesting, especially in silhouette against the sky framed by the office buildings on either side.

The Bootery - Atlanta, Georgia

81 Peachtree Street SW - I love the Vitrolite glass on the facade of this building. But the best thing about this building is the signage. From the condition of the signs I would assume that they don't function anymore.

Lincoln Memorial - Washington DC

We visited Washington DC in July of 2006. I don't really have very many pictures from the trip (at least not compared to how many I usually take). I can only assume it's becuase I did not yet have the mega-sized memory cards that I have today. As a result, there aren't any detailed pictures, just these two general shots.

Construction began on the Lincoln Memorial in February 1914 and was completed in 1922. The structure was designed by architect Henry Bacon. The statue was designed by Daniel Chester French and carved by the Piccirilli Brothers of New York. For more information visit http://www.nps.gov/linc/index.htm.

Glenbrow - Columbus, Ohio part 3

This is the final bunch of pictures of the house. Before I moved away from Columbus I had hoped to go back and get some more but simply ran out of time. The house sort of zig-zags along the ravine and I never made it to the other end of the house. As you will note below, the house sits below the lawn so very little of it is visible from the yard. I wish I could have seen this house in its prime. It is an incredible structure in an idyllic setting, it just needs a lot of love.
