Cleveland, Ohio

(left photos taken 23 March 2023; right photo taken 24 March 2023)

Note: The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's building was completed in 1923. It was designed by that city's architecture firm – Walker and Weeks. The allegorical statues in front of the main entrance representing security and integrity were created by Henry Hering. The building imitates Italian Renaissance Palazzo style.

[A]ll gold is but a little sand in her sight… [S]he is a breath of the power of God… unpolluted… loving… steadfast… all-powerful… a reflection of eternal light… [S]he renews all things... is more beautiful than the sun… and… against [her] evil does not prevail. [Wisdom 7:9, 22, 25-27, 29-30]

For the LORD gives wisdom; from [H]is mouth come knowledge… [Proverbs 2:6]
How much better to get wisdom than gold! [Proverbs 16:16]
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom… [Psalm 90:12]
Do not be conformed… be transformed… that… you may discern what is… good and acceptable and perfect. [Psalm 90:12]

Oculus/Freedom Tower

New York, NY

Freedom Tower: Completed 2013. Height with Spire: 1776 feet. Architect: David Childs.
Oculus: Completed 2016. Architect: Santiago Calatrava.

Note: Due to a member question about the bottom right portion of Freedom Tower, the differences between the rest of the building as well as the appearance of smudging in the sky are optical illusions caused by the thin clouds in the sky that were faintly reflected in the sun-exposed section of Freedom Tower. The second optical illusion is caused by the dark shadow of the adjacent building that obscures the visible interior beams in the sun-illuminated section and interior office views. As this is a negative image, the shadow-impacted section is the opposite color (white vs. black) and the white wispy clouds appear as black smudges. In reality every section of Freedom Tower is alike.

Barclays Center 7 June 2020

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY

In light of the unlawful murder of George Floyd at the hands of four MPD cops and the nationwide riots, looting and acts of arson, I chose to focus on the positive with hope this time will be different and African-Americans will have their lives valued and will no longer have to live under "police-state" conditions in America. Therefore, I photographed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s inspirational saying that is eternally relevant as well as "Black Lives Matter" posters and graffiti honoring George Floyd, the latter two digitally edited, found also in Brooklyn, NY. I did not include the looted and borded up stores around Barclays Center that include but are not limited to Shake Shack, Target, Modell's, Old Navy. I also didn't include photos of rage influenced graffiti since hopefully now these are days of healing and the beginning of a grass roots movement to create a more perfect union where human rights are respected and peoples of all diversity interact and live in peace.

The LED display is located on the Barclays Center, home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.

Vessel consisting of “154… interconnecting flights of stairs,” 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings was created by British designer Thomas Heatherwick (b. 1970) as the centerpiece of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project on the west side of Manhattan. Construction began in April 2017. Vessel, an interactive honeycomb-like work of art opened to the public on 15 March 2019.[1]

Note 1: With One World Observatory opening on May 29, 2015, the Freedom Tower at 1776 feet tall with 104 floors is the tallest building in the western hemisphere. It replaced the Twin Towers that were destroyed in a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Construction began April 27, 2006.

Note 2: For those who know about the New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox rivalry in baseball, the Freedom Tower was not exempt. Unlike 2008 when a rogue construction worker buried a Boston Red Sox (David Ortiz) jersey under concrete in the new Yankee Stadium when it was being built that required 2 1/2 feet of concrete to be broken so the jersey could be removed, someone scrawled on one of Freedom Tower's beams "Yankees 1." Even thought the Mets also play here in NY, the Yankees will always be New York's team and apparently enshrined in Freedom Tower. I did not notice this until today when I was going through my photos, otherwise I would have taken a separate shot of this beam. Still for trivia and folklore, I've included the photo I did take on September 18, 2010 of the east side of Freedom Tower in its early construction phase:
