West Coast: Neighborhood Church (former Haggerty Mansion), 1925, Palos Verdes Estates (12-2009)
East Coast: Flagler Collage (former Ponce De Leon Hotel built in 1885-1887 by Henry M. Flagler, the hotel and railroad magnate), St. Augustine, Florida (12-2009). The hotel was built in the Spanish Renaissance style and was the first major edifice in the US to be constructed of poured concrete, a mixture of cement, sand and coquina shell.

beautiful composition in both photos. Nice job Tash!
The romanesque architecture on both ends of the continent shows how large the Spanish empire was. Btw, I don't remember this church in PV. Where is it?
Beautiful architecture against that gorgeous blue sky. I love California's Spanish architecture...happy skywatching from Norcal...
simply delightful. love the gorgeous architecture.
Skyscrapers in their own right. Well taken.
Beautifully done. I especially like the flower in the second photo.

Brilliant sky dear Tash, it's wonderful!

Beautiful buildings. Love the Spanish influence.
They are both beautiful Tash! They look like they could be next door to each other.
Flagler College looks very familiar...we've had some good times in St. Augustine!
Both are very nicely composed photos, Tash!
When did you take these -- isn't it raining out there?
These are really, really neat. Beautiful perspective.
Great way to showcase the Skywatch!
Excellent photos both.

Indeed, click, enlarge & enjoy!
What an incredibly beautiful blue sky. We in Northern California haven't seen that for over a week now. Great Skywatch!
Beautiful buildings. So detailed.
