The first course. Polenta, of which I have had enough for a long time, sheep's cheese and sour cream. I couldn't eat all of it.
DSC02911.JPG
After a glass of palinka, I nodded when the waiter suggested the sweet meated trout for dinner. He wanted to give me more polenta. I said, "NO! PLEASE! NO MORE POLENTA!" I got potatoes instead. And Attila had to debone and dehead the poor little guy for me like I was 4. Surprisingly, I ate it all, and it wasn't so bad, especially with the garlic sauce. In fact, I think it was the garlic sauce that made me order it.

This museum building was supposedly built in the 19th century, but that means lots of changes occurred. That window, for instance, is totally 20th century.

An intentional photo of a monk when I was pretending to take a photo of the tower that I had just taken a photo of. So sneaky.

Watch out: preservation nerdiness ahoy. First time in my life that I've seen this tool used in person. The glass strips measure the cracks in the render to determine how severe they are and if cracking is still occurring, etc. Some of the glass strips were missing and cracked, so that means the cracking is still on-going and needs to be fixed. (I took about 10 pictures of all the glass strips until our guide, Attila, made me stop so that I would remember that I was visiting a monastery).

Monastery #4: Voronet. HELLO BEAUTIFUL 15th century CHURCH! This is known as the blue monastery because of the predominant blue used. There's supposedly even a Voronet blue.

Dude, the detail. I did find the iconography both fascinating and depressing. A lot of it was about death and dying. Even the saints were depicted in their moment of agonizing death or torture.

Jewish cemetery in Gura Humorului where we stayed. Did you know that the name Gura Humorului has nothing to do with humor? Nope. Even though we laughed a lot on the trip, humor is the name of the river, and gura means mouth. I then learned that if you say "Gura!" in a very specific voice, it means, "Shu cho' mouf!" otherwise known as "Shutup!"

intentional break between floor and wall to minimize moisture drawing up the plaster. only problem is that the exterior ground level is higher than the finished floor level, so there's moisture issues anyway. next step is to install a french drain...someday, he says.

Cincinnati Art Museum
Cincinnati Art Museum Entry
This building is one of seven architectural phases of the entire museum; this phase was dedicated in 1907. Love that Beaux-Arts!
Cincinnati Art Museum
This building was constructed in the 1920s/30s, and the building on the far right was built in 1886. This museum is the oldest art museum west of the Allegheny Mountains, apparently.
More Museum Facade
This neo-classical phase was also constructed in the 1930s.
Under the 1907 Portico
Wow.
Entry Lobby
This is the entry lobby and is located in the 1907 building. However, I got the sense this space has been renovated. My assumption was correct. It underwent a renovation in 2004.
Restroom
A bathroom under the stairs. I'm guessing it wasn't there in 1886, but I wonder what was...
Brochure
You can learn, but please don't take that knowledge with you.
Grand Lobby
No, the museum is not funded by Cingular. These signs are designed by Pentagram. This lobby, however, was designed before the people's, who form Pentagram, grandparents were born. But, interestingly, can you tell what's new and what's old?
It's really stone
Had to take a flash photo just to make sure this wasn't wood. It looked like painted wood. But it's not.
LIGHTS!
Yeah; it's blurry, but LOOK AT THOSE TRACK LIGHTS!
Signage
I did not get a fresh flower.
Detail
Cincinnati Wing
This museum has a whole wing dedicated to local artisans.
More Cin. Wing
Fire Door?
Courtyard 1
Inside the courtyard, I could really notice the seven phases of construction. I wanted aligned axes and symmetry. I got neither. But hey; we can't have everything.
Courtyard 2
HodgePodge
1886 meets 1930s meets 2004 meets me!
Courtyard 3
I don't believe a person could really stand in that position without falling over. Good thing it's a statue.
Courtyard Doors
You cannot enter those doors. We tried, and the docent shook his head.
Courtyard 4
Looking south in the courtyard. Reminds me of the Allegheny Courthouse.
Asian Art Area
Which way should I go?
Afghan Mosaic
Isn't that beautiful?
Syrian Room
Just wait.
Syrian Room 2
Wow. This room was incredibly detailed. Interestingly, this niche is supposed to point toward Mecca. Instead, it points North, even though the sign tells me why the niche is there and where it's supposed to point.
Door to nowhere?
Random door in main hall.
1886
A picture of the 1886 building. Phase one, that is.
Art Show or Display?
These large photographs were interesting because they aren't "art works," yet they are in the art museum. I wasn't sure if I was in an anthropological museum or art museum.
Stair Detail
I don't know why.
Railing
Part of me thinks this is a new railing system. If I'd had my measuring tape, I would have verified the 4" gap requirement...
Skylight
Railing/Gate
This looks like a new gate. And it matches the railing... I wonder...
Drinking Fountain
This was in a hallway across from 18th century miniatures.
Ceiling
Whoa.
Iron Stair
Isn't that stair awesome!?
Skylight 2
Still in the Cincinnati Art Museum. This contemporary art gallery is very sparse, architecturally, as if there is an attempt to emulate a loft studio space.
Columns
Back down in the Renaissance art.
Ceiling Detail
Fresco
Chapel Room
Drinking Foundtain 2
There's another fountain, though it's nicer.
Outside
On the east side, looking south.
North Exterior
1886 Entry
Original entry to the 1886 building. South facade.
Look at that brick
Random brick wall. You drive right by this on your way to the parking lot.
Joint
Remember, seven phases.

Connection
The 1933 Building connects to the 2007 building with a deliberate joint between the materials. The cornerstone of the original building is visible on the bottom left.

San Francisco - January 2009
Embarcadero and Market
Sunday farmer's market outside the Embarcadero. This building was built in the 1890s - 16 years before the big earthquake.
Marketplace and Ferries
Signage
Embarcadero
Inside the Embarcadero.
Embarcadero Detail
Mosaic detail and brass gate.
Back of Embarcadero
A view looking back at San Francisco from one of the piers.
City Hall
Built after the earthquake, this area around City Hall was all built in neo-classical splendor!
City Hall Area
Some of the buildings around City Hall. On the left is what was an old library, but is now the Asian Art Museum. On the right is the new library, built within the last 20 years. It fits in really well with the context.
City Hall Area2
City Hall is on the right; the Opera House is on the left with another music building between the two.
City Hall Detail
Detail of a window on City Hall.
Courthouse
Another new building across the street from the City Hall Square.
Music House
Every time I see this picture, I think it's in Prague, but it's not.
City Hall Area3
Another view of the square; Asian Art Museum on the left, with the library on the right.
Auditorium
SFMOMA
I think the statue of the sleeping person was funny.
GoCar!
Elli is missing from the photo because she is taking it, but we rode around it this thing for 3 hours!
SF Bridge
There's the bridge!
SF Bridge2
From the cart; thanks Elli!
The Bay Under the Bridge
Sutro Baths
These bath ruins date to the late 19th century.
deYoung Grounds
deYoung Detail
Copper cladding on the De Young Museum.
deYoung Grounds2
deYoung Detail in the Courtyard
This was part of the sculpture in the courtyard; the crack goes around the courtyard and over/through these stone blocks. Very pleasing.
Detail of DeYoung
DeYoung Patio
That is one big cantilever, and it freaks me out.
DeYoung Patio2
DeYoung Sculptures
I LOVE the weeble people!
DeYoung From the Back
DeYoung
From this angle, the tower looks odd, but this is the front.
Pre-DeYoung
This sign told of the history of the museum that sat where the DeYoung is now. It was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, and the new building was erected in its place. Seems odd to me that 17th-18th century art is displayed in the new building; somehow there's a disconnect there.
Tea Garden
Right next to the DeYoung

Academy of Sciences
What's left of the original Beaux Arts Academy is on the left; Renzo Piano connected the existing with the new.

Orpheum Theater
AMAZING interior! Right across from my hotel, and Elli took me to see Phantom of the Opera here. Beautiful!
Downtown Lexington, Ky
Buster's from Short St.
Check out that brickwork! This was Buster's Bar.
Rosenburg
One of the oldest on the block. I believe it dates to early 1800s. Joe Rosenburg helped fund the demolition of the block.

Main St, looking toward the south
This picture was taken on the old courthouse lawn, looking toward the soon-to-be-demolished block. The building with the arched windows is still standing (it's a cast-iron facade); the buildings just across the street from them are gone.
Dame
The tall building was The Dame. It was one of the best buildings on the block. Buster's is to the right of that, with the white metal siding.
The Dame
Rite Aid
Picture of the Rite Aid pharmacy before demolition. The metal siding hid a huge glass block picture window on the second storey.
Rite Aid 2
Look at those lovely generic buildings in the background! We get more of those! Whoot!
Triple Crown
The first victim...
Back of Triple Crown
Clay tiles were used to build this building.
Warehouses
This buildings were really old. They are brick built on a limestone rubble foundation. Solid...well, until last week...
Detail of Warehouses
This is similar construction of my 1814 house.
Warehouse Front
Triple Crown Gone
Get a feel for the context in which the 35-storey building is going. It'll stick out like a middle finger.
Buster's
The dismantling of Buster's metal facade.
Rite Aid Gone
Wasn't there a building there?

Did you know that RI had three state capitols until 1900? This building served as one of the three capitol buildings.
WantonLymanHazzardjpg
1690s house!!!!!!!!!!! That's my pal Ruth from UofK. Newport, RI.
W-L-H2.jpg
That wall decor dates to the 1690s, and is some of the earliest decorative surfaces still extant in our houses. It was just rediscovered.
ArtilleryStorehouse.jpg
Thought the door was cool. I think there was a date from the 1700s somewhere above the door, but I can't remember now.
VernonHouse.jpg
Forget the date; it's old - mid 1700s anyway. Peter Harrison, arch. This isn't stone; it's rusticated wood (sand mixed in with the paint to make it look like wood). Very characteristic of this man's work. Newport, RI.
VernonHouse2.jpg
Balusters on main stair.
VernonHouse3.jpg

Oh goodness this room was awesome. The owner's parents discovered these amazing Asian panels behind wood panels. They more than likely date to the time of the house, and the entire room is covered. Gorgeous.

I liked the birds...oh, and that cannister is an early (toxic) fire suppression system. They shot out toxic chemicals which killed the fire...and anyone else in the room. Luckily, they are empty, though I'm not sure if they were used on anyone...
CSM7.jpg
Library. The bookshelf on the right opens to allow access to the billiard room. Sweet.

McKim, Mead, and White, 1881, Newport. If they'd let me, I'd live here. IT'S THE MOST INCREDIBLE PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't she a beaut'? The room on the second floor in the turret is mine. We'll see more in a minute.
IB3.jpg
Inglenook at entry.
IB4.jpg
This house is incredible. Barely any furnishings, so I got to see the bones without any distractions. This inscription is from the contractors in the 1880s; it says, "Woodwork, bone white." A restorer's dream note.
IB5.jpg
This stair faces West, and the sun coming in through those windows...well, it was pretty.
IB7.jpg
LOOK AT THAT DOOR!!!!!!!! I mean, MM&W really were modern thinkers in the 1880s, allowing the spaces to open to each other. This is pre-Wright, by the way.
IB8.jpg
Second floor bedroom connected to the sleeping porch

Here's my bedroom. Those windows are not only curved, but they are roped, so they open.

ChanningMem.jpg
Channing Memorial Church, 1881. Column detail.
CMC2.jpg
This column is vaguely post-modern to me...100 years before post-modern...
VikingTower.jpg
local legend had it for years that this was built by the vikings, though it's in the middle of the island... no one knows quite where it came from, but most "officials" are confident it neither dates to the vikings nor was built by one. pirates, on the other hand...
Redwood.jpg
this place is pretty amazing too. the first public library in the u.s...before we were even a u.s.! peter harrison, architect, 1747-50. the area right behind those doors houses books that were there in 1750!!!!!!! goodness that's awesome...
EdgarHouse.jpg
Commodore Wm Edgar House, RM Hunt, 1884-86. See those Roman bricks? Need I point out that this is pre-Wright too...? That's my roomie, Kelly, from Chicago.
