Beautiful Building Architecture


Such beautiful pillars on this building in Miami.

Colorful, vibrant, energetic!

Wow, I think I'd like to see a whole building like just like this. ;-)

Cool Horse Heads

Nice entranceway with the cool bronze horse heads on either side. 

Let me guess, someone likes to ride.

My preference would be lionsthey're the king of the jungle! 

The red pillars are also pretty dramatic. 

Overall nice and novel effect.  ;-)

Stretching Cat

This cat crawled between 2 pillars and up to this tree. 

The cat extended its paws and started to stretch. 

Reminded me of fitness guru, Richard Simmons, but with a far better hairdo!  ;-)

Majestic Architecture of Department of Commerce



Some beautiful architecture at the Department of Commerce. 

The Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB). 

They don't make them like they used to. ;-)

Israel 2020: Day 7


Today, we went to the Kotel (Holy Western Wall) in Jerusalem. 

We went on a special tour of the Kotel Tunnels.

Got to see the foundation stones under the Temple Mount where legend has it that G-d created the world from and where Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac.

This is also the place where the first and second Jewish temples stood.

We literally got to see so much of the ancient underground building stones, pillars, arches, bridges, waterways, and even learned how they think that these mega limestones (weighing over 520 metric tonnes) were moved into place so many thousands of years ago with pulleys, gears, and levers. 

It was a fascinating and fun tour. 

Thank you to my son-in-law and daughter for getting us tickets to this. 

Lovely time by all. ;-)
