Theme ~ Historic District
Chosen by Lew.
My home town doesn't have an historic district, so I turned to our neighboring town for inspiration. I grew up in this town, and have had the opportunity (twice now) to tour the Moser Tower which houses the Millenium Carillon. There is an observation area in the tower, and that is where I stood to take this panoramic photo of downtown Naperville, which dates to the 1800s. Here is my header image, which I had already cropped:
So, what might one see in an historic district? My photos will show you...
One might see old brick buildings...
Or just plain old buildings...
Or even famous buildings...
One might see beautiful lights...
One might also see columns...
And, one might see ivy-covered walls...
Finally, the interiors of buildings in an historic district will also delight the eye. Here are a few pictures I took at a church called Notre Dame de Chicago. My son Danny sang here with his university's choir last year, and he will be a featured singer in the university's chamber choir this coming Friday in this same location!
I love old buildings; they're full of history and I always wonder who the people were that walked the same floors as I, and what their stories are.
