My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

It look like the perfect place for an illicit assignation. Oops, that just slipped out onto my keyboard. I'm glad I don't have to dust it! Fab compo, Tara.

They don't make buildings like this anymore. Great photo.

Superb shot of this fantastic stairway. Perfect dedi for Mark :)))

Beautiful structural details on this one; I can't imagine walking 14 flights of apparently marble stairs for fun, but I'd do it if I had to! A great dedi for Mark; happy birthday Mark, and come back soon!

Wonderful POV and capture! :)

Interesting iron work. And, I like how you've placed the middle quatrefoil in front of the iron work under the stair step. While the quatrefoil suggests the sign of the cross, the yin-yang symbol is under the steps AND in the center of the quatrefoil. I wonder if the designer had a motiv for this, or if it was just a purely design thing? Keep up the good work! :-)

The rich timber goes so well with the black & white.

Amazing shot.

And this too reveals more detail then I 'saw' as I walked by this a number of times. I noticed the marble stair treads but didn't study the ironwork letting it simply flow over me. Beautiful work.

A very elaborate staricase indeed! Wonderful rich details - nice one, Tara! I'm assuming you took the elevator (unless you're considerably more energetic than I am..)

once again you've brought my city to light for me. I realized, when seeing this, that I studied the exterior of this building (when it was much more run down) but never got further-in than the lobby. Your shot is almost like an elevator cage or an enclosure on some looming space below, always seeking the mysteries of architecture. I can see the semi-gothic "foils" in the stair-grillwork, that strangely purified quatrefoil, made 'pure' by the sheer circles, with those beautiful flowers in the center. And---with t-rex---the "yin-yang" symbols galore (even though they have those gothic cusps & points, isn't architecture an incredible party???) It's a lovely capture of the complex, intimate world of fine design work, all tucked into the cloistered grillwork of a stairwell. A tara architectural montage, no surprise after viewing your other captures of the many worlds of architecture. Also, this is more of your abstract studies, with texture, creamy marble, light & dark, etc. Thank you for remembering, Tara, and for your support throughout the whole year, when I was & wasn't here. And slowly but surely you're re-acquainting me with the gems of my city's downtown. I guess I'll have to hire you, because you do this city very proud. Thank you for remembering once again.

lovely tracery, Tara!
