The Song Remains the Same


Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California, USA
This is the rotunda in the J Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. It is very bright and pleasant to be in and to look at. It very much reminds us of the rotunda at the High Museum in Atlanta. This is likely because both the Getty Museum and the High Museum of Art were designed by the same architect, Richard Meier.

Aquatic Impressions


Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
This impressionistic photo is a reflection of clouds on Lake Clara Meer in Atlanta's Piedmont Park. While at the park, we enjoyed people watching, walking in the fresh air, seeing the trees and flowers, and feeding the ducks and geese who reside on Lake Clara Meer.

Continental Dreams


Continental 727, Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, USA
When this photo was taken in June 1990, the passengers on this Continental Boeing 727 could have been headed anywhere.

Some passengers may have been dreaming of home after Caribbean vacations; some may have been dreaming of winning clients on their business trips; some may have been dreaming of delicious hot meals served during a smooth flight.


The crew, however, were likely dreaming of the day when Frank Lorenzo would leave their carrier. Thankfully, within a few months, it would be the beginning of the end
at Continental for the airline-wrecking Lorenzo.

Sadly, Continental is gone now too. Another storied American airline is now gone, but not forgotten.
