Old School

Here are some pictures of the courtyards and colonnades

of the Old Administration Building (OAB)

at Fresno City College.

Read a bit of the history of Fresno City College

HERE,

and see some excellent photos,

especially of the Library.

Inside these walls there is a beautiful

auditorium, in which I will be participating

in a musical program called

"A Little Night Music"

in just a couple of weeks.

When classes are in session

you will see students sitting

in these areas studying.

Once upon a time,

even rain spouts were works of art.

Mesa Colonnade

This colonnade is at a hotel in Mesa, Arizona.

It is a simple covered passageway

from the main building to some 

meeting rooms in a side building.

There is something comforting and inviting

about the geometry

and the inherent telescoping perspective.

Notice the textured diamonds in the walkway.

Also, the pillars are not directly across from each other.
They are staggered.

This photo was taken 14 February 2017. 

Colonnade

This attractive colonnade

stands proudly

in the courtyard

of "The Pacific House"

adjacent to

Custom House Plaza

in Monterey, California.

It has been here

for more than

150 years.

(NOTE: I have been absent from these 'pages'

for a few months due to family emergency. I'm happy to be back!)
