These are my favorite images from 2019. Many are from the West, I was lucky to travel this year and love the national parks. To complete my first 365 project I also began shooting macro images for the first time and concentrated on black and white photography.
Simple shot of the Asheville skyline from Rankin Street. Right beside the 60 North Market Condo building you can see Beaucatcher Mountain and the space for Tunnel Road below.
One of the oldest commercial buildings in Asheville (1895), it's an example of Romanesque Revival architecture. I've always enjoyed calling it the Dr. Humor building, although to be accurate its pronounced "drummer". On the corner of Patton & Church Streets, next to the S&W cafeteria building. Part of the Asheville Urban Trail, stop #5 calls attention to the frieze work.
Federal Building at 140 4th Avenue West was constructed in 1914 as a Post Office. Neoclassical Revival architecture on the 2-story brick building, currently used as offices.
Working on a flower macro I noticed this little fly circling. When it landed I got as close as possible before it decided to buzz off...But, this is what was left from our brief interaction. Lucky timing.
The Miles Building is an Art Deco design at the intersection of Haywood Street, Battery Park, College, & Wall Street in Asheville, NC. Downtown has a ton of examples. If you're interested in looking at more info the Asheville Architecture Trial on ExploreAsheville.com has a nice list. This is Station #11.
Good Vibes Silo by muralist Ian Wilkinson. Black and White Infrared. Iconic Asheville Mural that can be seen driving over 240 into town or from within the River Arts District. If you head over to Henrietta's Poultry Shop the Silo is right beside it.
Nice walk around the Beaver Lake Perimeter Trail Loop this afternoon. Happy New Year! This project is this year's resolution so I'm excited to start creating as part of my everyday life.
