Once upon a stadium

Congrats on your sale!

Lois, Doris (rhymes with Lois) columns are nice too...

Lois sheepishly corrects herself ... that would be Doric, of course.

oh soo loving the exclamation marks!!!!!! ATTA BOY!!!!!! BHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Thanks for the history .. I personally adore the classic Greek / Roman architectural styles ... gimme columns, Doris, Ionic, Corinthian ... don't care ... LOVE 'em!!!!! I think your capture and pov do justice to the designer(s) and lovers of this beauty!!!!!! That it was de-listed is a laugh ... goodness, bet that stirred up some bureaucratic and community-minded dust!!!!!

Lois, Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this is Soldier Field in Chicago...the stadium was originally built in 1924 and had a classic Greco-Roman design with doric columns on both sides...this is where the Bears play...it was renovated in 2002 when the interior was replaced but the exterior columns remain...it looks like a space ship landed on Soldier Field...many call it the "Eyesore on the Lake Shore..."after the renovations, it was DE-Listed from the Registry of Historical Landmarks...that was the reason for my title, I tried to capture as much of the old stadium as possible in this shot without including the renovated areas...

oh DAVID!!!!!!! This is awesome!!!!!! The swirly-spirally traceries of the branches / shadows / ivy vines are amazing against that solid, straight and stern building facade!!!!!!! But you have to 'splain dat title!!!!! Where are we?? And why "once upon" ????? LOVE the sepia, by the by ... the perfect choice!!!!!! f&v
