The Art Deco styling great examples can be seen in Rockefeller Plaza. One of my fave mural sculptural high relief scene is at the 30 Rockefeller Plaza’s facade entrance called “Wisdom” by American Sculptor Lee Lawrie “based on work by William Blake”. This is one of many art works present in the site.
Adjacent to it on the north side is Brasserie Ruhlmann frontage facade which was a homage to late great Art Deco designer Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann.

Update on this from post #423 over a year & 5 months ago; link https://woodbarter.com/threads/random-pictures-thread.45949/page-22#post-665269. This is the original Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg Brooklyn which has been exterior landmarked so the exterior has to remain as is. So it is an existing brick shell exterior with a new set back interior glass & metal frame construction rising from the ground up and terminating at the top with an arched vaulted glass & metal frame roof.

Cool I didn't know Domino's was out there. C&H Sugar has their biggest refinery in Crockett, CA, across from where we used to live when I was still working. Used to ride a 23 mile loop on my bike and went right passed this. They were right on the delta and brought the sugar tankers in under the Carquinez Bridge.
At the 9/11 Memorial site by the “Survivor Tree” you will sometimes run into some random note that some kid from a school trip (domestic and international) in English or in foreign language be left around the perimeter protection of the tree……….
I about panicked when I saw this from 10 blocks away from Broadway just behind the Flat Iron Building- it looked real from where I was standing like a “grand illusion” until you got really close.
One of the oldest historic site where one of the early districts where NY began, which is “The South Street Seaport”. The building behind there, Bowne & Co. Stationers located at 211 Water Street was established in 1775 under Bowne & Co. Letterpress Printers to cater to the finance and shipping trade. It is a must visit as they still offer old school cards, stationery and everything else in between including old models of printing press. The brick building they are in was built in the 1839 which was a former
cast iron stove warehouse.
The old iron anchors with the textured relief detailing is part of the reason I wanted to post this and I know Dan @Steelart99 would really relate to it and be fascinated with it- well any of you member that works with iron and appreciates old American craftsmanship……….the texturing is amazing and remarkable as well as the tender silhouette shape of the anchors.

A little WD-40 would do that anchor some good!
Now you're just being silly. Of COURSE it's made of cheese ... Blue Stilton cheese, which is WHY it's called a blue moon.I spose next thing you'll try to tell us.....it's not made of cheese either!
Season’s last weekend of summer here. Parking lot was full tonite when we went for diner.
Seafood restaurant? Sure a beautiful setting! Chuck
Not sure if you're joking or not ... but lunar sampling indicate the surface of the moon is primarily composed of anorthosite, a calcium rich plagioclase feldspar which is relatively light weight and light greyish color. Beneath the surface layer, the moon is primarily basalt. The theory is that during it's molten phase, the lighter feldspar floated to the surface while the denser iron rich basalt sank.
Took this will checking out some black gum trees that border field edges on our property.They have irregular shaped growths on the limbs and on the sides. I don’t think they are burls? The limbs eventually rot and fall to the ground. When I look at the picture I see a dogs head and under that it seems the leaves shaped the head of a man. I think it is just nature being cool!
We miss Jimmy too....

That is a really special photo. Imagine how long the photographer had to wait until that bird landed in just the right spot.
You think that's something, this guy waited 3 years to get this amazing pic
