The combination of the photos, the architecture they represent and the excellent written narrative is compelling. I have learned so much in the short amount of time I've followed the Facebook and website postings. The images and the descriptive text have greatly influenced my perspective on our rapidly changing landscape. Thank you for documenting things that are, in many cases, in plain site, but we don't really see.
