Allure moderne

Some of the new (new to me, anyway) construction completed in Montreal’s “Quartier des spectacles” entertainment district, as seen back at the beginning of this year.

SFO, San Francisco, California

From my trip to San Francisco in December: There’s something I find aesthetically pleasing about how the angles of the building materials interact in this airport terminal. The variable sizes of the holes in the metal grilles add a little something too.

Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.

Visited Las Vegas for the first time last month. Lots of cool stuff to see, as you would expect, including lots of accessible public art like this piece here along The Strip.
