Cloudy with a chance of architecture


As with most photographs, this photo out our window this morning doesn't quite capture the grandeur of the scene, but it's still worth a look.

Yesterday I went down to the tent to get a couple more recordings from the dub room while Abe was at a tennis lesson.  I kept my camera in hand and just snapped away along the walk.   Here are a few shots:

This is the approach to the Benedict Music Tent.  Down the walk and to the right is Harris Hall.  We spend a fair bit of time at these venues.
As I was passing the tent I saw this photographer using a large-format camera to take a detailed photo of a marking in the Aspen tree bark.  We had a nice discussion about the camera and his technique.
The tent is a remarkable structure.  It is a lot like the main terminal at the Denver airport (same architect).  The pic shows some of the hardware holding the place up.  I like that the designers had the foresight to mark areas to place explosives should anyone want to destroy the building.



We just found out that Maya and Mr. Kantor agreed to have her lesson earlier than usual this morning so we need to get going.
