Wastebaskets

042616

I walked by this window several times each day I was in Phoenix; it’s in a part of the convention center that didn’t seem to be in use. One day, I did what I’d wanted to do since my first sight of it: stick my camera lens right there on the (dirty) glass and make a photo.

For a room that doesn’t appear to be in use, there are a lot of wastebaskets, aren’t there?

Elevator Lobby

I stayed in a new hotel on my recent trip to Phoenix. That is, the hotel was new. The building was a fantastic Art Deco place that must have been a bank at some point in its past. The main lobby and this elevator lobby were luxurious, and I enjoyed seeing all the architectural details up close.

You know sometimes how you go to an unfamiliar city and feel right at home? Like you could live there? I didn’t feel that way here, but I did get to see this bridge, which my blogging pal over at El Bueno El Feo y El Malo will likely recognize as a design by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
