Click on the clouds!
Mesmerizing Hawaiian skies


"Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light.

Above all things reverence thyself."

Pythagoras





The AQUA Tower in Chicago.
Architect: Jeanne Gang

The shape of things to come;
This tower not only looks sensuous,

but it's curves disrupt the Chicago winds,
allowing balconies

on even the upper floors

“And the men (sic) who hold high places

must be the ones who start

to mold a new reality

closer to the heart.”

Neil Peart





Tres Modern!
Trafalgar Square plinth

This construction beguiles me.
It brings the iconic square into the 21st Century
and serves as a pedestal
for normal, modern people
who stand upon it for a day
representing the elevation
of the individual.

I like that.
