So I've always always loved the fabulous architecture of national and other parks, especially the many resplendent buildings in Yellowstone and a couple in the Tetons. I include in that definition national, state/provincial, and local parks and spaces that function like parks around the country and the world, and ancient, old, or new, structures, as long as they give you that "Wow, I wish I was there!" feeling. My April trip to Arizona brought me in contact with many such buildings, especially those of early 20th century Fred Harvey architect Mary Colter around north-central Arizona.

After I got back, I started a new Flickr group, which already has 102 members and 516 images (haha, and they're not all mine). Here's a snip of the group pool - thanks to GA Tim, we have an interior of the Chapel of the Transfiguration, GTNP, and also represented here, among other examples of parkitecture are the "first Washington Monument" in Washington Monument State Park, MD, Cumberland Mountain Dam, Cumberland Mtn State Park, TN, Riding Mountain National Park, MB (where our own Doug Dance nabs phenomenal wildlife photos including of wolves), Rainbow Park, Whistler, BC, and Lapahaki State Park, Hawaii.
