Windows, Bloomingdale's

 Chicago ~ April 22, 2005

Could this be Unofficial Windows Week? (See yesterday's post.) I found the window above in the most unexpected location - the women's bathroom. I don't remember why the angle is so intense.

A Little Place in Trindade

Trindade, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ~ April 22, 2007

I love the architecture that tells me I'm not at home any more. There are a couple of towns in Brazil named Trindade, and this one was on the beach. It was a jewel of a setting, and it was HOT.

Diversity

Chicago ~ April 22, 2005

This is one of my now-getting-to-be-famous drive-by shots. It's not perfect, but it was too good to miss.

Morning Reflections

Portland, Oregon ~ May 4, 2009
Portland International Airport (PDX)

Sunrise at an airport usually means something to look forward to - in this case, New York City after almost 40 years. For some reason I take a lot of airport pictures. I guess it's because I enjoy the excitement of airports unless the delay is too long. It means moving around . . . somewhere to go. New things to see through the lens, new things to experience. I'm ready. . . .

Come check out Weekend Reflections.

Sky and Silhouettes

Dudley, West Midlands, England ~ February 16, 2010
Dudley Castle Keep

Fortunately, I finished sorting my used pictures for this blog last night, or I would have repeated this photo of Dudley Castle. I must be in an English Castle mood today. Here is another post, this time from the tower looking down.

Today I am joining others around the world who participate in Skywatch Friday. Click on over to see stunning photos of the beautiful sky that covers us all!

Interesting Old Digs

Banbury, England ~ February 15, 2010

We stayed in this former coaching inn from the 17th Century for a couple of nights. I loved the old building (and cheaper than most Holiday Inn Express Hotels). We got to chat about history with some of the staff, but I vowed to carry my own blankets next time. Under a featherbed comforter, you roast. Throw it off and you freeze. I'm used to layering covers, and I never got the hang of how to sleep Old England Style. Any hints?

By the way, I'm re-thinking my blogs, and I intend to make "Tapirgal's Daily" a daily blog again. Or close enough. It will help when I get my used photos re-named with the date first so I can tell quickly if I've already used a photo or not. Apologies for any you've seen before.
