Along the days architectural details pictures

simon le bon

Thank you for your visit and for this first "post" Gaieus
As I have introduced this thread:

this is not a private thread, and if you are feeling the same, feel free to post your own pictures.

In another words: My purpose is not to offer "my" album, even if I am the majority contributor . Everybody which will come with his own eye and his own sens of poetry will enrich this inorganized album. I'm sure that here and there, one or other architectural detail will give a seed of idea to achieve something.

Hi Pilou,
Thank you for this remark.You are right. I hadn't noticed that I was cutting the subject so often
All the pictures are taken with my poor Iphone camera: the only camera I have everywhere and anytime with me : because it is first of all: a phone!
I promise I shall take a better care in the future.

Then here is St Peter's bell

and a little detail of the handrail on the way up to the bell tower

Then Francesco

with a not so nice detail (in the foreground)

The last has the pigeon's bottom cuted

Cela doit quand même être facile, à moins que cela soit une "déformation professionnelle"

Samson - blinded already... Look at the birds fly; just like stills of a real movie (12th century, Pécs, cathedral)

maybe a good axis to hurtling the stairs like a child

not so easy to draw, based on a rectangle.

Nice Simon!

dig that little balustrade. The whole entry is wonderful.

Were the statues vandalized in Pec?

That newel looks good for belaying a line (tying off the bell ropes?)

Thanks, Peter

Cool adaptation!

Quite easy to reproduce in SKP with EEbyLathe 8s + PushPull corner, draw arcs for 'chamfer-end', top edge divides to match [6s] and welded >> EEbyRail with that as profile and melding-profile + arcs as edges; rotate copy x3 to make other corners. Group and smooth.
The pain is applying the textures so that the wood grain is acceptable on all rounded edges etc - Texture _ Hidden-Geom 'on' and lots of eyedropper sampling...TimberNewelCap.skp

You need a better lens\camera. Good pics but too blurred

Amsterdam... no bridge without a bike...

Delft

That 'City of London' crest was my old school badge [its founder was a former Lord Mayor of London]...
it brings back memories.........
Our school motto was "Domine dirge nos" [God guide us] - which we always translated as 'God help us!' - which is a much more pathetic cry in English!!

Some small details of our Cathedral gate:

And the hidden security camera watching the gate:

Depends what you need to do with? And I am also reducing them before post!
They seems not to bad for me if I want to remember a general purpose + a bunch of details.
But you are right. a good accuracy can't be a bad thing. I shall do differently by now. (I have still some Iphone series in my pocket to post )

Here an uncommon set taken this time with a not too bad camera
