Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, which opened in 1927, it is considered the “crown jewel” of the two downtown performing art centers. In 2021 it went through a major renovation projection costing 16.1 million dollars. In addition to upgrading to accommodate requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it included an upgrade of the venue’s electrical and lighting systems and its acoustics to allow traveling Broadway shows to be performed there. Often referred to as “The Memorial”. Designed by architect Arthur Brown Jr. Often described as a prime example of Northern Italian architecture of the late 1920s,” a hybrid of “Lombardic-Romanesque design with Byzantine elements.” The architect is best known for his designs of city halls for San Francisco and Pasadena.
This building will forever have a special place in my heart of fond memories here. As a young child my mother took us there to watch Roller Derby and Wrestling matches. I attended boxing matching here with my Godfather, watching the match on a CCTV at our seat. I have attended many graduations, receptions, political events, and concerts (too many to name but I must mention Maze featuring Frankie Beverly) in this beautiful building. {11.2.24 Sharing The Knowledge}

It's not easy stripping the iconic Canoe Pass and Deception Pass Bridges of decades of old paint and slathering on three new layers of primer, intermediate paint and the final coat of traditional green. Here you see our contractor checking the thickness of the intermediate paint coat. The white numbers are the written measurement of the paint thickness in that particular spot. Sandblasting on Canoe Pass Bridge will be complete in August 2020. Painting Canoe Pass Bridge will last into the coming months. The expected completion date for this project (and both bridges) is fall 2021.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of ​​8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. The capital of Andalusia is Seville. Another beautiful city of Andalusia is Granada. The crown jewel of Granada is undoubtedly the palace and fortress of Alhambra and is the most visited tourist attraction in Spain. It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stunning hilltop palace overlooks Granada and is visible from all over the city. It is both a palace and a fortress surrounded by walls and was the residence of Moorish rulers between the 13th and 15th centuries. The Cathedral of Granada was built on the site of the former Great Mosque. The first stone of the Cathedral of Granada was placed in 1523, but it was not finished until 1704, 181 years later. During your trip to Granada, you should definitely go on a stroll in the Albaicín neighborhood. It’s located on top of a hill, right across the Alhambra. Rising up on a hill facing the Alhambra, the Albaicín neighbourhood is made up of a network of winding streets and small squares which open up suddenly to wonderful views of the famous palace fortress - with the Sierra Nevada beyond. I hope you like my collection of Granada. Thanks for all comments and faves. More photo's in my album: Andalusia - Spain

Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. De hoofdstad van Andalusië is Sevilla. Een andere mooie stad van Andalusië is Granada. Deze stad ligt op een hoogte van 738 m. Het kroonjuweel van Granada is ongetwijfeld het paleis en fort van Alhambra en is de meest bezochte toeristische attractie in Spanje. Het is een UNESCO-werelderfgoed. Het prachtige paleis op een heuveltop kijkt uit over Granada en is zichtbaar vanuit de hele stad. Het is zowel een paleis als een fort omgeven door muren en was de residentie van de Nasrid-sultans tussen de 13e en 15e eeuw. De kathedraal van Granada werd gebouwd op de plaats van de voormalige Grote Moskee. De eerste steen van de kathedraal van Granada werd in 1523 geplaatst, maar deze werd pas in 1704, 181 jaar later, voltooid. De koepel is het belangrijkste deel van de kathedraal. De glas-in-loodramen geven veel licht. Het glas-in-lood van de kathedraal zit vol complexiteit. Het lijkt op een schilderij. De onderwerpen van de hoofdkapel vertegenwoordigen het leven, de passie en de dood van Jezus Christus. Het licht dat door de ramen binnenkomt lijkt de boodschap over te brengen: Ik ben het licht van de wereld. Onder de glas-in-loodramen hangen een reeks doeken geschilderd door Alonso Cano. Deze zijn uniek in de geschiedenis van de Spaanse schilderkunst. Deze schilderijen vieren het leven van de Maagd Maria. Bedankt voor al je bezoekjes, comments en faves.
