The never ending construction of Sagrada Familia does give it away doesn’t it.

After Hours
Vancouver Block
Vancouver Block is a building on Granville st. I’m going to pretend like I know something about the architectural history in Vancouver but we all know that would be a big fat lie. Google is a big reason why one might sound knowledgable sitting behind a screen. It was built by a company run by a brit named John Parr who built lots of things in this beautiful city. It is designated as a heritage building by the City of Vancouver and must have been one of the tallest in the city when built back in 1912. Maybe not the oldest or the most spectacular building around the world but it does stand out in this young city, if you lift your head up that is. I guess happy 100th birthday, whenever that day happens to be.
Florence at night
Shooting at night is always more challenging to me. A slow lens and the usual absence of a tripod definitely adds to it. Hope you enjoy this one!
Gustaf Adolf’s square (Göteborg)
Another panorama collecting virtual dust on my hard drive. This one, just like the name suggest, is Gustaf Adolf’s square in Gothenburg. Gustaf is the man on the statue right in the middle, considered to be the city’s founding father. As always click on the pic to enlarge or download the full size.
Inside the steam clock
I find steam clocks to be pretty cool. They aren’t some sophisticated piece of machinery; the steam engine technology has been around forever. But maybe that’s exactly what makes it so cool. In the world where so much of our life is being computerized, an odd mechanical watch is a bit of a rarity. That lady looks interested.
