Eystur Town Hall

This building is the town hall for the town of Eystur, Denmark. Its architect is internationally famous architect Henning Larsen. The building is incredibly unique, because it’s built to fit right into the ground. The roof of the building is covered in the natural grass surrounding the building. It’s even built over a stream. Pretty incredible and very sustainable.

CopenHagen opera House

The Copenhagen Opera House, located in Denmark, is a national opera house and one of the most modern opera houses in the world. It’s architect is Henning Larsen, an internationally known Scandinavian architect. Completed in 2004, the building cost over half a billion US dollars to complete, making it one of the most expensive buildings on Earth.

AnHeuser-Busch Colorado Brewery

I visited this also in 2015. It is the largest brewery that Anheuser-Busch owns and is one of twelve. It also happens to the place that I fell in love with bud light. Bud light is my favorite beer, along with the majority of America. However, once you’ve had freshly brewed bud light, as I did here, it changes your outlook. You’ll never have a better, fresher lager beer in your life.

North gate at Yellowstone

I visited Yellowstone National Park in 2015. This one of just the many structures and buildings I saw there. This is the Roosevelt Gate, or the North Gate, as it is the farthest North Entrance to the park. We stayed a couple nights at the Old Faithful Inn, which was originally a completely wooden hotel they built back in the 1800’s! Pretty incredible that it still stands today. It’s been renovated since then, of course.

Fourth Street LouisVille, KY

So 4th street Louisville, KY is one of the first places that I had freedom to go after graduating from basic camp at Fort Knox. I wish I had a better picture of the structures here. What you see pictured is a total outdoor shop and venue, however its completely covered by an overhead structure, using glass for the walls and a metal frame of that looks like lattice work. Its really a work of art and remember it vividly, probably because I hadn’t seen real civilization in three months.

The Armory

This was the first building that I remember visiting at OU. I owe this building, and what it houses, for what I think is a successful college career. In this building I’ve learned hard work, leadership, camaraderie, and the value of persistence. Its where I began my career on becoming an US Army Officer. This building has more than influence on my life, it was at one point my whole life. I can’t wait for the renovations to be done so I can visit it one last time before I graduate.
