Dear hai Ba` Chu? blog, and fellow bloggers:

Thank you all for the fabulous photography, painting and poetry. Special thanks to Queen LH and Diva BL for sharing pictures of beautiful people in beautiful Paris.

I have a very modest contribution of a few pictures of views seen from the Griffith Observatory building in Los Angeles. In the first picture, one can see the "HOLLYWOOD" sign, and in the last 2 pictures, the city of LA is seen in a distance. Not great pictures, but go'p mat cho vui.

A Triet un poème d'amour sur fond de gratte-ciel.:) Merci pour les photos.




O monument grand,
Je te vois de mon coin,
Te dresser jusqu'au firmament,
Et Amour ne s'en ressent moins!

O Chicago céleste
Tu ne m'as jamais dit: 'Reste!'
C'est pourquoi j'ai pris l'avion
Et fait mes adieux à ton horizon.

Et pour tes tours longues,
Drapées de brumes et d'attentes,
Moi qui vis dans l'enfer de Dante,
Je me raconte de pieux mensonges

Ô Dieu! Mon Amour et ma croix!
Que le ciel me garde de tes bras!
Que ta tour grande s'estompe mille fois
Mais qu'elle reste toujours en moi!

Et je te vois toujours de loin
Quand je rêve sur mon balcon
Monuments jusqu'aux quatres coins
Parfaites et étonnantes constructions.

Buildings in Los Angeles




















Dear MC & Romantic PNEH Friends,Luckily, I have some pictures in L.A. from my photo class to share:



The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a pretty artistically construction in Downtown Los Angeles.There is a famous alley to walk to the Hall that is so fantastic to see as well.



& the Blue Building is the famous Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood area named the "Blue Whale" ( where the post-Oscar parties are held )



Hope you enjoy some of the Los Angeles landscape



Cheers from Liem

My entry for Buildings, monuments








My dear fellows PNEH, hoa si, thi si and art critic Mr. GQ,
One of my most favorite places in Manhattan is the very romantic Grand Central Terminal where I spent many lunch hours walking around, to look at its ceilings and lights, take pictures of the people, the building and the shops, and sometimes buy my lunches at its food market.
Here is my collage in tribute of the GCT.
The photo of the Gemini constellation on the ceiling is for my twin BiTi, Trang and all fellows Geminis; since the Cancer is right next to it, the photo is also for all the Cancer members of the Forum to enjoy :-).
The day I took the photo of its big windows, there was some people who were probably doing some restoration survey, standing high up there, across the windows area. I thought to myself how lucky I was to be at the right time, as this added to the coolness of the windows. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you could see some of the people wearing hard hats and holding most probably some architecture plans.
The chandelier in the shape of branches is right at the Lexington entrance of the GCT Market.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
from Be^n Bo*\ So^ng

Entries for this week's theme: "Buildings and Monuments"








Dear Twins and fellow PNEH members,Since this week's theme is what Americans would call a "gimme" for a Chicagoan, I want to be the first instead the last to post my entries. Here they are: (1) a view of the Chicago skyline shrouded in fog, taken from our Navy Pier; (2) Two Chicago landmarks side-by-side, one old (the Wrigley Chewing Gum building) and one brand new (the Trump Tower); and (3) a view of the skyline from the Chicago River that runs through the city.Next, let's see if anyone can come up with poetry on Buildings and Structures (probably won't be a love poem but TC may surprise us yet!).

Amities,
Triet

Late entry on the theme of :"Posters"

Dear EmCi and other Pho Nhom,

My apologies for the late entry but I just came across this poster today:"See Red" (Voir Rouge). It's for our Chicago Bulls basketball team, who are enjoying their best season since the Michael Jordan era. Sorry about your Lakers, dear L.A. friends, but it's time for a new NBA champion. :-)
