Memorial Amphitheater

This cool little spot…well it isn’t really a small place, is within Arlington National Cemetery near The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  I had no idea it existed until we found it by mistake.  I assume they use if for performances, if not what a shame.  They (we the people of the United States) clearly spent a ton of money building this great theater.

Erectheion

I took this detail photo of a column base which is part of Erechteion during our last Europe trip.  This structure is an ancient Greek temple on the north side of the Acropolis in Athens Greece.  This temple was built between 421 and 406 BC by Phidias (sculptor and mason) and Mnesicles (architect).  The entire Acropolis is wonderful as an archaeology site with lots of small details.  It’s worth the hike up the hill to this spot.

Carnegie Music Hall 2nd Floor Lobby

I got a great opportunity last spring to shoot the inside of Carnegie Music Hall in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh.  Following that photo shoot, I posted (prior to starting this blog) a number of pictures that you can see here:

Last night I was looking through some old shots and came across tonight’s post.  I had forgotten about it and realized how much I liked this picture.  I hope you like it as much as I do. 

This was a 3-bracket set (+1, 0, -1) taken in the corner of the hallway looking down both directions.  They had some junk in the way down one direction, so I removed it with Photoshop.  Otherwise, this is how this wonderful facility looks.
