Angles, Belo Horizonte

All I can tell you is that this building is close to the Praça Sete de Setembro in Belo Horizonte. I love the combination of angles against the blue of the sky and the shadow cast by the nearby building.

Medical Building, Belo Horizonte

I found the buildings around the Praça Sete de Setembro in Belo Horizonte very interesting. This one, for example has a huge Caduceus on the cut-off corner about half-way up.

Sunray Flats, Hobart

I took these photos in 2006 and it is interesting to me is that in 6 years what was clearly Sunray Flats (from the sign hanging under the stairs) has become Sunray Apartment. Singular? Perhaps the owners are living in the other apartment flat. In any case it is a simple brick block of flats in Hobart with curved corners but I really do like the proportions of the steps to the second storey and roof terrace.

Goulburn Evening Penny Post

The Goulburn Evening Penny Post may have been established in 1870 but this building is probably 50 or 60 years younger than that.

Frogs, North Sydney

Shops, Bega

An interesting block of shops in Bega. I presume they were built at the same time yet it is clearly a pair of shops with a third 'added on'. Perhaps they are older shops that were made-over in deco style or the income from the first two was needed to complete the third.

Edificio El Mástil, Pocitos

In my opinion this is one of the best Art Deco buildings in Montevideo. It is Edificio El Mástil located at 3105 Avenida Brasil in Pocitos.

It was designed in the early 1930s by Gonzalo Vazquez Barriere and Rafael Ruano.

Besides being a deco building it also has a nautical theme.

The balconies at the front could be the prow of a ship.

However there is no doubting the porthole in the front door and the life preserver decoration surrounding the light in the porch. There were a pair life preservers high on the façade of the building but only one remains.

The owner saw us taking photos and invited us in prouding showing of the very well maintained foyer.
