Toronto

Good morning!

I was browsing through some less recent photos and came across this image that I shot during a family vacation to Toronto.  It was taken from the observation platform of the CN Tower and shows an aerial view of the central business district with the shadow of the CN Tower.  Pretty cool, huh?

This post is really short but I wanted to share my find.  If you haven't visited Toronto, you really should.  It's a city with lots of diversity yet everyone seems to blend well.

Mission San Xavier del Bac

If you love black and white images as well as Spanish architecture, you'll certainly enjoy this.  The post is short but the image is pretty cool... I think you'll agree.

San Xavier Mission

This is on the list of National Historic Landmarks, the oldest European structure in Arizona, and completed in 1797.  Services and worship are still held in this grand old building.  For more details on San Xavier, Click here to view the official website.  I hope you enjoy and you're welcome to leave comments or questions below

Tulsa Union Depot

Can you appreciate that I'm working hard to keep up here? <LOL>

A few months back, I went on a shoot to the old Tulsa Union Station.  It's a grand and beautiful old art deco building that brings so much beauty and history to NE Oklahoma.  During the 1920's and 1930's when Tulsa was known as the world's "Oil Capital" construction of beautiful architecture with art deco flourished and exists today as a tribute to her rich beauty.  Back to the former rail station......

The Union Station was completed in 1931 and remained in use till 1967 when it closed due to a decline in rail travel.  The building remained vacant for a number of years till it was rehabilitated and eventually placed in use as the current Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.  What a perfect successor occupant!  She's still grand and respected.  I hope you enjoy these photos.

Feed and Grain Elevators

I want to share photos of these grain and feed elevators that I made.  Photographs were taken in Wyoming... I told you before that I managed to collect quite a few good and interesting images there. :)
