Atlas, Rockefeller Center

…s. It’s one of the reasons I loved playing the BioShock series of video games, honestly. There is just something about the bold geometric influence while still preserving some new machine age ornateness that just gets me. New York has some great living examples of Art Deco design and Rockefeller Center is but one of these amazing examples. The Atlas, Rockefeller Center by W.

A Warm Maui Sunset

…have a saying in these parts. If you don’t like the weather wait five minutes. Its not uncommon to be 75 one day and then 35 then next. That big of a swing doesn’t usually happen, but it IS happening right now. Yesterday was in the mid 70’s and tonight it is supposed to get below freezing. Winter is coming (sigh).

…he journey, but what can be better than a journey at 30,000 feet! It has become somewhat commonplace these days, but the miracle of flight never fails to amaze me. Thank You For Flying PanAM Thought I am not old enough to have flown Pan American World Airways, there is just something about that era of flight that I wish we could recapture.

Wine Corks in San Francisco

Wine Corks in San Francisco

Wine Cork Recycling These wine corks in San Francisco were both decoration and headed for recycling. There is a consciousness of the scarcity of cork in a land where cork is essential to the wine business. I keep thinking of saving my cork here, but where in Missouri, w… Continue reading
