A beautiful old train station converted into a senior center here in Medford. I just love the hand hewn wood columns that evoke the feeling of a tree. Also the rusticated stone treatment on the facade. So glad they didn't tear this gem down. Enjoy.

Turn your head, you just might see a better shot.

I pass by this building every day on my way to work and never really thought much about it till I visualized it in portrait mode. I think the column, the arches, the horizontal rusticated limestone, the arched brick and the green shrub make for a very compelling composition, when cropped out of the building. The cross on the column capital gives it away that it's a church. Enjoy.

I thought this photo was fitting since it’s springtime around here and the magnolias, dogwood trees, and spring flowers are in mid-bloom form.  Not only did Thomas Jefferson design an incredibly thoughtful and architecturally significant home, the grounds are spectacular in the spring time.  One could argue that Jefferson was perhaps the most talented president this country has ever seen.   Enjoy.
