In case you were wondering where we went after yesterday’s post. Baker hall is one of those interesting buildings that is almost impossible to get a shot of the whole building because of the landscape and surrounding buildings. This is about the best I could do. (Columbus, Ohio, 2019)

It’s not rousing architecture, it’s not a lot of things. It is however my first married home. We also moved from this residence hall at Marquette to one at Ohio State. I’ve lived in nicer places, but this has fond memories. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1999)

The flags probably give this away. The architecture is dutch but the locale is tropical. I took this when I was using fast food to teach about economic geography and supply logistics. I took a lot of fast food location shots–and a few in exotic locations. (Willemstad, Curaçao, 2003)

I had read about this view of Dubrovnik during the war and siege of the city in the early 1990s. When walking through the city, many of the bombing spots had been memorialized. The Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most beautiful places I remember. (Dubrovnik, Croatia, 2012)

A warm spring day in April is something to be treasured. The Castle has seen over 1000 springs and people have occupied this high spot in Scotland since the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. (Edinburgh, Scotland, 2015)

I read recently that the secret to seeing the Parthenon was to go early in the day. Somehow I was able to follow this advice long before I heard it–tourists were there, but the crowd was not overwhelming. (Rome, Italy, 2012)
