79. Subway

🧠 This sign is near Kelvinhall subway station and I like how it looks quite out of place in the middle of a pavement surrounded by tenements.

⭐The orange of the sign works well against the blue of the sky and i like how the frame is split diagonally almost in half.

➡️ There are little imperfections on the sign that I would clean up if I knew how.

76. Wellington Church

🧠 I thought the building looked amazing bathed in sunlight.

⭐I love the contrast of the sandstone lit up with the shade in the lower part. I used the same new lens as yesterday's pic and on lightroom the detail on the building is amazing (doesn't translate to my exported jpg though).

➡️ I need to learn if I can do anything to counter the effects of file compression.

This is one of my favorite historic churches in Denver: Central Presbyterian Church, built in 1892. It was designed by Frank E. Edbrooke, one of Denver's most prominent 19th century architects. The architectural style is Richardsonian Romanesque with a bit of Gothic influence. The building is made of native red-orange Colorado sandstone.

Most of the building feels heavy and weighty, like a carved mass, with solid walls and broad arches framed in thick bands of stone. And then you get to the belfry, where this feeling is flipped. The twelve narrow openings in the belfry—grouped in threes on each face—defy this sense of heaviness. Are those twelve windows punched into a solid wall, or are those twelve slender piers holding up the spire over an open chamber?

To me, it feels more like the latter. The vertical piers read almost as columns, as if the tower's crown were a hollow lantern resting on a colonnade. For a building that feels so solid and anchored, the belfry is light and permeable, with a void-to-solid ratio that sets it apart from the rest of the building.

And from this angle we can see the thin spiral staircase that winds its way up through the open chamber, a subtle architectural pleasure, a delicate spine inside a masonry skeleton.
