Pratt Street in downtown Hartford is a short street with a mix of new and old buildings,
some in good shape and some challenged. I like this old building and the art nouveau street lamps.
My travels are scheduled to last five more days. Posts are scheduled for every
day while I am away, and I have been updating them to include photos from Russia.
While we are on the subject of lovely old buildings,
here is a handsome wooden building with wonderful ornamentation, in Uglich.
The Hartford shot is pure elegance. The other one is impressive but would be a nightmare to paint!
ReplyDeleteThere's some very interesting architecture there in Hartford. I like the composition of your first picture. We seem to have a lot more "challenged" buildings here in New London. I find them all very interesting though.
ReplyDeletei like them both but that second one is unlike any i've ever seen before!
ReplyDeleteThe Russian dacha is very unique.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast between the two. Both amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh, a contrast indeed and both are definitely terrific, as always! You don't know how to take a bad photo, Jack!! Hope you're enjoying your trip, thanks for sharing it with us!! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteTerrific angle for the first shot, Jack, and I like the contrasts with the second shot.
ReplyDeleteLove that Hartford building, Jack!
ReplyDeleteI like very much how you're making your posts , with comparisons between two cultures . That's very interesting !
ReplyDeleteYou're finding wonderful shots in Russia to complement your U.S. posts. Very nice! Today's wooden building is pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really do like the architectural detail on that second shot.
