What a lovely, little town. Don't you miss the big city?
Looks like you're enjoying your new home.
A very unusual house perched (literally) on the bank of the Columbia River near Pixie Park in Columbia City. It looks to be a modern replica of a number of 19th century architectural styles. Does anyone know the story of this elegant but puzzling residence? #columbiacityoregon
All I could find was the description “interesting house” but you already knew that 😉. But also some history of the town. We’ll have to stop there next time we drive that direction. columbiariverimages.com/Regions/Places/columbia_city.html
I believe that's known as the "gonna fall into a river" style
Oh my! It almost looked authentic in your photo, but after looking at the latest real estate listing: www.zillow.com/homedetails/1930-The-Strand-Columbia-City-OR-97018/62750492_zpid/ it appears to be a McMansion snout house cloaked in a Queen Anne garb
Lovejoy Fountain (c.1965) part of an urban promenade on the south end of downtown Portland designed by Lawrence Halprin to evoke a ‘sense of place’ in the PNW. The linear park includes 3 fountains and an overall thematic continuity. #landscapearchitecture
Love the sound of the fountain, interesting architecture and landscaping----an aspect of Portland that I've never seen.
Beautiful!
Metropol Parasol (2011) designed by German architect Jurgen Mayer; is a defining urban landmark in Old Seville. #setasdesevilla
Very strange!
The Royal Alcazar in Seville. Built by the Moorish rulers in Andalusia in the 12th century, later occupied by Christian royalty after the re-conquest. #sevillehistorytour
Flamenco in Seville. Astounding physicality and emotion. #flamencodance
I miss seeing the female dancer in the huge, swishy skirt!
Bullfighting ring in Seville. An 18th century landmark in Seville that represents a unique aspect of the Spanish cultural heritage. #plazadetorossevilla
Allamillo Bridge (1992) A cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge by noted Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, built for Seville’s Expo 92. It was a soccer weekend in Seville! #realbetisbalompie
Calatrava's designs are so impressive!
San Luis de Los Franceses (1699-1731) by master Seville architect, Leonardo de Figueroa. Baroque on steroids. #sevillarchitecture
Have a great trip! Look forward to hearing all about it when you return.
Magnificent! So much gold!
Iglesia de Santa Ana; originally a mosque on this site, rebuilt as a church in the 16th century. The minaret structure still stands as a bell tower. #mudejargranada
1492 ----- the beginning of the Inquisition.
The Mezquita, a tenth century mosque converted to a fifteenth century cathedral. In my book, the mosque wins. #cordovaspain🇪🇸
Thanks for sharing your experience in Cordova.
The UMass campus features several buildings erected in the past few years that match the innovative audacity of the highly visible MCM buildings of over a half century ago. Check out the history of the Massachusetts Bulger family! #whiteybulger
