Triangular Building – Philadelphia – April 2015

“Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.” Gustave Flaubert

Not sure what they kept in the corner.

Oriental Hall – Philadelphia – April 2015

From the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia. The ceiling in the second picture is made up of thousands of pieces of glass. This building was featured in the movie National Treasure – although our guide assured us there was no treasure there. The decor and architecture is unbelievable.

There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” – Bob Ross

“The sky is the daily bread of the eyes” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

This fellow was doing a sort of mating ritual – he was perched and would fly about in a perfect square of about 4 foot. I couldn’t spot the other birds he was trying to impress, perhaps he was practicing.
