Garden Grove Architecture

I decided

to make the Southern California architecture

posts

a threesome:

Within a stone's throw of Disneyland

is this eye-popping Glass House,

actually called "The Crystal Cathedral."

Note the "breezeway" in the pic above.

Sun setting behind the tower

surrounded by acolyte palms.

Tip of the tower -

very OZ-inspiring!

Sadly

The Crystal Cathedral

filed for bankruptcy

a week after I took these pictures.

Humdinger!!!

I have always loved this word!

HUMDINGER!

And this sign in Garden Grove, California, suits the word so well.

Something happening here almost every day of the week!

How can one resist?

Brighten the Corner

It's just a tabletop and a carpet pattern;

but the warm tones, the size differential, and the geometric lines grab the attention.

Well, at least they grabbed my attention;

hence this photograph.

'S miley Phase

I'm always looking for smiles.

Found one!

Right in the center of this photograph.
