  22. Fabulous!

    Happy Skywatch Friday!

    I'm far, far away from Burbank, Cal., so intriqued by this architecture of the " Portal of the Golden Wings" that I googled for more info.
    I'd love to see the interior dome's star design, plaque to Amelia Earhart, and the lovely mosiac exterior as a close up photo.

    Thanks for sharing!

    The old building looks like an old temple.

  26. The details are amazing. Love how it's just the frame too. Sometimes it could be too much of a good thing, this is just the right amount.
