Picture This #286 ~ Architecture

Hi, this is Benni, honored to be your host this week. Wandering around the neighborhood of my winter home, I am struck by the different style of buildings in "Old Venice" and that is how I decided on the theme of architecture. Mine are mostly houses, but yours might be anything from a cathedral to a cottage or even something very unusual.

Wonderful banner shot by Belita. A wonderful capture of a truly memorable face.


Triangle Inn, Venice
The Triangle Inn, a Venice, Florida landmark from the 1920's

Venice FL
Mediterranean style, with Spanish moss and a jungle feel

Venice FL
A smaller cottage, also from the 1920's

BWL building, Lansing
A change of pace, the Board of Water and Light building in Lansing, Michigan. Completed in 1940, the bricks are dark on the bottom and gradually getting lighter in hue so that the building is reminiscent of a flame.

  3. i like this theme very much.
    The first photo is pure nostalgia and I love it
    The second and third are also very good examples of the style in which they were built
    I have seen the fourth before, but it always manages to fascinate me with the shades of colour on the bricks.

  4. The Triangle Inn is very pretty! I love the green tiles and I especially love the placement of the two palms, there.

    ohhh, I would love to have a front yard that looked like that. So lush! I love the Spanish moss.. it gives the foreground of your photo a lovely canopy feel.

    Really cute cottage!

    Love the dark to light bricks in the last building. Very unique!

  6. Hi Benni !! Thanks for hosting this week, a great theme!! I love all three of the Venice shots, particularly the first and third ones. The second one not so much. Maybe it's the Spanish moss, but there's something slightly creepy about the place. LOL. I remember final shot from another theme long ago. I really like that flame-effect colouring.
