This is my sorority house. The front of it and the inside living area looks a lot like a real home so I always felt comfortable here. My favorite room is right when you walk in, it's like our living area. The ceilings are high and the walls are yellow. It's spacious and inviting and a good place to study, socialize or take a nap. Even though this house holds a lot of people, it hasn't lost the homey feel, which is important.

Sarkeys on a Cold Day - Coltan Franke
I had class in Sarkeys today, and I thought it looked pretty nice with the snow
and the clear skies surrounding it.
For a building that is usually confusing and tough to navigate, it does have some nice parts.
Even though the building looks empty in this picture, there are actually quite a few students inside trying to stay warm.

Aberdeen Cemetery
Dave Boeck
This was taken our first day in Aberdeen Scotland about four years ago. WE were visiting our son and daughter-in-law who were working and going to school there. We had time to investigate the community and walked everywhere since it is such a walkable community. This view seemed so welcoming and picturesque. What I found to be so interesting was the history we were looking at-the centuries of people represented and the lives they had led. I was sacred ground no doubt. The gate said, "come in." So we did.

the Louvre- Lauren Massey
This is a picture I took over last christmas when I went to London and Paris with my family. Definitely one of the coolest museums or even buildings i've ever been inside. The glass pyramid is the museum entrance and then you actually take escalators and the museum is underground. The museum is huge. We didn't even get close to seeing everything. It was raining and freezing outside and we had to wait for an hour just to get in, but definitely worth it.
Passageways- Akeilah Clark
This door belongs to a house in Huanchaco, Peru. I love this door and the house it belongs to, shrouded in mystery it piques the interest of the house's many visitors. The house itself is mysterious, with a central courtyard and staircase to the second level, there are many doors and corridors that spread from this central point. It is beautifully carved and designed with a figure that beckons one to enter. This door leads to a spiral staircase that takes you up to a lantern which overlooks the neighborhood with a view to the ocean. When visiting Peru I noticed that front doors seem representative of the people that live behind them. So often in Peru there are houses that are plain in construction but are painted and ornamented with personality and style, with a front door unique from those that surround it. I never saw two doors alike.

Will Rogers World Airport - Derek Malone
This is Will Rogers World Airport from the viewpoint of the ramp. I decided to share this picture for multiple reasons. Not only to share my interest in traveling and experiencing new things in life but as well as my pursuit in a career in the aviation industry.
Monticello
Every year, I get to go to Virginia to visit my childhood best friend. And about three years ago, my dad took me to go visit Monticello because he wanted to describe all of the architectural wonders of the home to me. When we got there I was amazed. The house is absolutely beautiful. There are so many details throughout the house. The most incredible thing about the house to me though was the fact that Thomas Jefferson made it an ongoing project. Other than Monticello, I loved seeing the University of Virginia and "The Yard". My dad told me all about the different columns on every building and it was one of the most interesting things I've seen.
