I am always on the lookout for truly creative things. Things that are a‧vant-garde. I don’t use that word very often but it definitely fits here. The lighting in this Cleveland restaurant was very unique. Of course, I had to spice it up just a little more with one of my photo apps. Continue reading A‧Vant-Garde
I think this is one of my most artsy photographs I have taken. It is kinda in the vain of my many reflection pictures. But, this one was taken through a large window in the Terminal Tower building lobby in Cleveland, Ohio. Below is the exterior view of the building. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #89 – A Mosaic In A Mosaic
I love things that are unique and this picture is one of them. I love the randomness of the wires and lighting. This picture was taken at Coastal Taco in Cleveland Ohio. The building and even the menu were unique. And the tacos were pretty good. Here is a couple more pictures for your perusal. Continue reading Coastal Taco
A little self-abstract for you today. While visiting some high school classmates in Cleveland we decided to see the famous city market there. The original of this abstract was taken at a small café that was in the same building. It ended up that the market was closed that day (Tuesday?), but we still enjoyed a tasty breakfast and a quick peek through the market … Continue reading Chillin Out In Cleveland
For this Abstract Realism post, I chose the Coastal Taco in Cleveland Ohio. The picture was taken just after sunset from our room at the very eclectic Aloft Hotel. As you can see the restaurant was under a very large bridge going across the Cuyahoga River near Lake Erie. The photo did’t require much tweeking to put it in the abstract class. The food was … Continue reading Coastal Taco – Cleveland
Augmented Realitiesis a new category for me here at RJsCorner. It is meant to allow my creative side a little more leeway in my life. Most of the posts in this category will be where I take some of my favorite photos and expose them to artistic apps to turn them into “art”. Of course art is in the eye of the beholder, so I … Continue reading Introducing Augmented Realities
Last Saturday’s “Artsy” post gave you a snapshot of our trip to Cleveland earlier this year. This post will put some flesh on those bones. :) Our first extended visit to Cleveland was in 2013. We were visiting a couple of my high school classmates of fifty years ago. We took in the downtown area and most of the usual tourist places during that trip. … Continue reading Cleveland – A Different View
For the first “Artsy Saturday” post at the reformatted RJsCorner, I chose the Coastal Taco in downtown Cleveland Ohio. The picture was taken just after sunset from our room at the very eclectic Aloft Hotel. As you can see the restaurant was under a very large bridge going across the Cuyahoga River near Lake Erie. The food was pretty good and the inside atmosphere was … Continue reading Coastal Taco – Cleveland
For this Artsy Saturday, I wanted to give you some pictures that I see as the quintessential Cleveland. I am not a sports nut by any stretch of the imagination so their well-known teams just aren’t “Cleveland” to me. The Cleveland Clinic is a crown jewel for the city but I will talk about that in a future post. When I visited the city a … Continue reading Cleveland Treasures
Cleveland, OH – Emporium This emporium in downtown Cleveland while pretty much vacant now was once a vital part of the city. These were the first shopping malls in America. Like this one they are pretty much abandoned now because everyone now goes to the modern ones in the suburbs. Continue reading Emporiums….
Cleveland, OH – Guarinos I know the hot dog is supposedly very American but I kind of think our food, like our population, is a melting pot of different ethnic varieties. In reality I don’t think of our population so much as a melting pot but as a stew; maybe I should think that way about the food also? Any large city has at least … Continue reading American Food…
Here we are in the final hotel of our Cleveland vacation. We are in Newark Ohio which is a little east of Columbus. We spent much of the day in more Amish country of Berlin Ohio. It claims to have the largest Amish community in the U.S. I bought a couple of framed pictures as mementos of our trip. When we left this area to … Continue reading Amish in Berlin OH…

Here we are sitting in our hotel room on Sunday morning waiting for the museum to open at noon. So, I thought I would pull a few more pictures out of the album to show here. We are headed for the Western Reserve Historical Society today to get a more detailed account of local history. Then it will be off to our friends home for … Continue reading Cleveland Gallery..
