Chicago Architecture Adventure

So begins my Chicago architecture adventure. I hope you enjoy my pictures over the next couple of weeks.

Flowers in Architecture

Some flowers to cheer you up on a winter day.


The building has some interesting architectural details on the top as well. I am drawn, as always, to the repetition of circular shapes. And there's a clock on the wall similar to the one a couple posts ago.

More of the Same

Here's another building with a saint on the corner, and one window that sticks out of the side of the building. These are all around the cathedral. I wonder if they were all residences of powerful church people, who would have to keep an eye on what was happening in the square by church. Is that why there is only one window that it would be possible to see 180 degrees from? I'm dying to know if anyone out there has this particular nugget of knowledge!



This is fun. It has a sundial clock painted on the wall. I wonder if it's accurate most of the year...

I like the windows sticking out of the roof as well.

The End of the Old Stone Bridge

I must go back to Regensburg, again. This old stone bridge was very quaint and cute (click here for my other view of it,) so I had to include the entrance looking into Regensburg.

Kloster Weltenburg

Kloster Weltenburg: The Weltenburg Abbey Cathedral
You cannot tell from the outside, but this is the most interesting Baroque Church I have ever seen, and not in a good way. It's very eclectic. It has a "folksy" style/version of Baroque art inside. It's wonderfully terrible!

I hope you all are waiting with bated breath.

Wedding Central

There were a couple of weddings the day we were here, so we didn't go in, but it was pretty with the flowers and windows outside. You can see flowers on at least two cars on the right.
