Sepia Saturday Building Detail
Sepia Saturday Building detail
This is a post for a new challenge hosted by @old-guy-photos I think this has just started i just read about it yesterday but wanted to show my support and submit a post for the challenge today.
I also thought it would be good to throw something different up before getting back to sharing some of the Christmas decorations and windows I got shots of this past week, and now need to get into gear and edit.
So for something different and in line with the Sepia Saturday challenge here are some shots of cool building detail I have come across in NYC.

I came across this building on one of my walks around the city, I forget exactly where this buildign is but i think it is on 5th Ave near 33rd street from the other shots I took that morning.
Isn't that some cool detail on the top of the building, I wonder it was a medical facility at some stage with the emblem near the top of the building which I believe is the caduceus, with its two snakes a symbol for medicinal matters often.

I believe this is on the same building but I could be wrong if not it is inthe same area, I think cool building detail like this works well in Sepia.
I have no idea if there is any significance in any of these symbols

And more cool detail the row of heads at the top look a little eerie to me

Do not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
I have a feeling that all the 'decoratives' features on buildings of this era were representational to a high degree. Cups and fruit bowls, figureheads and mythological beings and creatures.
Love the sepia ~ So apt for these architectural images Jay.
Don't know if you would know the Queen Victoria Statue sitting under her dome of the Post Office in Sydney? Was created by one of my ancestors. Your buildings have inspired me to try and capture it. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
yes I think your right they had style back then, I may well have seen the Statue when I visited there but it was so long ago I cannot remember it so looking forward to seeing your shots please do tag me when you get shots of it

Want to have your post on the map too?
those photos are so freaking cool!!!! Thank you for sharing them!!
Thanks it is such a cool old building
I went and pulled out some old pictures as I was walking down 5th Avenue and I didn't see it, but, my shots are sporadic and I was pushing through the Rolodex in my head, trying to see it.
It is so distinctive, you would think I would remember it. I was trying to see if there was a small medical facility there long ago and far away. Drats!
Sorry! I wish I could identify this absolute beauty that deviated from her surroundings.
Upped and Steemed

The pictures either side of these ones were on 5th, but I do tend to wander around down side streets so I could be wrong I will have to be on the look out for it again

So amazing to see the detail we used to do when we built a building. Really beautiful. Too bad we don't continue that today...Thanks @tatoodjay great shots, love the sepia
I so agree with you the modern buildings may be cool in some ways but they do not have the style they had back then
Built with love. Or a whole lot of money! It's a beauty and your photos are great.
or perhaps a bit of both :)
thanks kindly
