This remnant of the wall from the old market with archway and masonry detail has always intrigued me. It stands alone out in the open, in the park area to the west of the main entrance of the City Market. I know that it was preserved probably because of it’s historical significance and rich detail, but don’t know enough about the old market building to understand where and how it was actually used. It definitely
This view through American Legion Mall provides a timely perspective on both the current weather conditions and the Indianapolis skyline. The white streaks that are visible, especially on dark backgrounds, are snowflakes as caught by the camera lens as they float to the ground. I was close by so I stopped to see this scene on purpose. I’m drawn to the contrast that time provides… the ‘then and now effect’ if you will. Interesting
Was absolutely astounded today to see mounted to the facade of the Central Library what appears to be a huge rubber inner-tube from something the size of a giant earth mover. It’s been a little while, but it wasn’t there the last time I looked. I try to stay open minded about public art, but for the life of me, I don’t get it.

This is a close-up of one of the gables on a small section of roof on the the Indiana Statehouse. Zoom lenses are great , huh? When I looked at this shot the first time, I was just admiring all the intricate details…and then I started to wonder who this figure was immortalized in stone?

The Indiana War Memorial, located between Pennsylvania and Meridian Streets just south of Michigan Street, is one of those buildings that people have seen for years but most pass by, including me, while coming or going downtown. Both of these photos were taken on two different days when I was doing just that. It’s an imposing structure and has a mysterious air about it just because very few know much about it.
