The Space Between

Today I’m looking at a space between sections of a building looking up! When I saw this entrance at the science complex at UMSL, I thought it looked really cool. The complex is actually five connected buildings, including Benton Hall, and I think the difference between the building on either side of the entrance, plus the bank of windows going up, was something really different to see.

This space between buildings in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis is interesting to me both because of the ivy covering the building on the left and the way the building on the right juts out on the lower level.

Just when I thought I’d photographed all the cool spaces between buildings in St. Charles, MO, I noticed this one, which is notable because of the short flight of stairs in the distance, which is not something I’ve seen before!

The space between these two buildings in St. Charles, MO is a little larger than the spaces I usually photograph, but I thought this one was especially interesting because I learned on the “Hit the Bricks” tour that at one time the old Vaudeville Theater building was located here.

I really like the space between these two building in Granite City, IL because the different depths between the two makes it visually interesting and the green accents on the building on the right add a nice pop of color.

Another thing about the space between buildings in a big city like Chicago is how much depth they have…this one looks like it goes back forever, and it’s really hard to even determine what time of day it actually is because of the height of the buildings.

The space between buildings in a big city like Chicago is an interesting thing to behold. The fire escapes on both sides of this alleyway caught my eye, because it’s just not something you usually see in suburbia, and they add so much visual interest.
