Architecture

I saw this at The Daily Timewaster. My Google-foo is weak, so I don't know where this is for sure or the architect, but if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say it was in France and the architect was Hector Guimard. I'm a big fan of the Art Nouveau style in all its forms - it beats the hell out of Brutalism, that's for sure. Just imagine trying to get something like this built in this day and age. Beautiful design and execution. Probably couldn't get it approved by the building commission, though.
 

Not much happening on the home front. Getting caught up on some chores, paperwork and getting a good start on the exercise program. Also trying to limit my exposure to world and national news - too much of that's not good for a cardiac patient. 

Since it's warm this week, my welding student is coming this afternoon to finish his MIG section on his paddle wheel. I've got a little lathe job I can work on while he's welding. He's a big strappin' young guy. Maybe have him give me a hand putting the motor in the trials bike while he's here.
