Expat, didn't you like your new avatar? I'm crushed. :(

The picture looks cool, but it would be even better if you could see the water and boats better.

i like it

I live right next to a harbor so that's my back yard.

Sickness. Rich boy.

I have some photos I'm very happy with, but I need to scan them, and I took apart my only working scanner and changed the whole 'working' part...

hahaha

Good ole creative ingenuity.

I like it.

art? no. funny? i believe so.

im so ready for summer

Haha Love it

This winter we set up a few kickers in the yard, and after we got out of the jacuzzi we would launch them on our bikes then jump back in. It was pretty damned fun.

You are one dumb man to sit around in the snow in a bathing suit.

Cool stuff. I like the second one.

Thanks. Getting up to the roof where I took those shots was tough as hell. Had to take an AC out of a top story window and climb out.

I think I like the last photo best--I love the look of classic old buildings, as exemplified by the vases with flames thing. I also like the green/blue balance of the lighting. What building is this, kjohnnytarr?

East Hill

It's an old building called the Tiger Hotel, built in the 20s. It saw a lot of use when businessmen traveled right into downtown Columbia MO by train, but fell out of favor when highways and roadside hotels became the travel norm.

Today, it's still the tallest building in downtown Columbia, and it's in use too. Most of the floors are rented out to the rich and old, the penthouse has offices, and the lower levels have space for small gatherings and a community theater.

It's fun to explore around inside, too, although not as pretty as the roof of course:

Is the Otis elevator motor really still a working motor, or is it on display? If you aren't giving away secret information, are you doing part of the renovation?
