Not all buildings need be box shaped

ginza buildings cartier tokyo japan

These buildings can be seen in Tokyo’s Ginza district. Cartier is a big gold box. And at Christmas time they even put a big red bow around it. I’m not sure what the building is next to it with the crazy shape.

San Francisco City Hall

Normally I go out of my way to make sure there are no power lines in my photos. While strolling around San Francisco City Hall I decided to see if I could compose an image that actually made use of the normally distracting lines overhead.

Holmenkollen Park Hotel

Holmenkollen Park Hotel Rica – Oslo, Norway

I’d like to stay at this place someday. Located near the ski jump in Oslo, when I last visited in 2011 the Oslo Metro was being extended to this part of the city. Perhaps it is done now.

This building has a rich history. Initially a sanatorium in the 19th Century, the Germans occupied the place during World War 2. I love the dragestil (dragon style) architecture. It reminds me of a colorful Stave Church.
