tour of Europe vs America

the European tour that i looked up that is advertised to Americans was a tour of France, Italy, and Spain. In this tour it advertised for people to experience a variety of cultures and countries and a visit of classical sites, and Old Europeans art, architecture and medieval castles. this is a list of the tour highlights.

In this tour they offer up Your fall foliage adventure begins as you travel from Boston along the scenic shoreline to Maine. Here, experience the incomparable view of Acadia National Park from the summit of Cadillac Mountain, and dine like a local at a New England Lobster Bake.

When it comes to comparing the two tours it is alot more obvious that when a European is going on a trip to America the tours that are being offered to them are tours that are themed on the natural lanscape of the woods, mountains, wildlife, and national park. While on the other hand when tours are being advertised to Americans on Europe they offer up tours of European monuments, old castle and cathedrals. So it becomes a little apparent that when Europeans think of America they think of open land and forest and agriculture, not of old religious or national monuments. I think these tours are somewhat missing the mark when advertising tours about america we also have big cities with mounents that are incredible like the Empire state building or some of the sites in Washinton D.C. The French qaurters of New Orleans, the city of Las Vegas, and chicago, and we also offer up the natural open landscape like whats offered.

architectual styles of Buffalo

The first house is an example of Bungalow style with its tapered porch post, and its Tie beam, king post, and knee braces







Then their is the Greek revival style home with its Pediment roofing, tympanum, tall first floor windows, attic story window, Entablature, and of course its colomns









The colonial revival style home here can be recognized by its glass panel door, strait window heads, board siding on cheeks of oversize dormers, shingle roofing, and bay windows







the Octagon style home with is Cupola, Low pitch roof,and encircling veranda/ porch








This home is right around the corner from me with all the other big expensive homes in that area but i dont know what type of style home this is maybe be a Georgian but not really sure

panoramic view of the metropolis

The first group of pictures that i will be comparing between their panoramic views are London and New York City. The first two pictures are of New York, while the other two are of London. As you can see their is some small similarities like the crowding of large buildings probably businesses, but when it come to contrasting the differences the buildings in London are a lot shorter that the tall buildings in New York. Also the City landscape in New York looks a-lot more crowded than the panoramic view of the city landscape of London. As you can tell the cities are the business epicenters of both populations. I also think that the tall buildings in the London landscape seem to be in the center of the city while in New York their tall building which are most of them are just scattered throughout the whole city.



The Second group of panoramic views of metropolises are of Rome v.s the city of Chicago. In the pictures of Rome the buildings are obviously a lot older looking, they also seem to have a bit of a religious feel to them. Some of the buildings in Rome also have a Dome sort of roofing. While on the other hand Chicago is a lot more modern with tall buildings and lots of crowding.

3&4)Albright-Knox Art gallery: Construction of the Albright Art Gallery, a generous gift from Buffalo entrepreneur and philanthropist John J. Albright. Intended to serve first as the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, it was completed too late for that purpose in 1905. The original building was designed by Edward B. Green, the distinguished Buffalo architect also responsible for the design of the Toledo Museum of Art and the Dayton Art Institute.
