Some of the mind-blowing architectural features of the Marin County Civic Center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This was Wright's last commission.
For a sense of scale, the dome at the upper right of the image is 80 feet in diameter, and the gold spire is 172 feet high.
I think Frank would have appreciated this kite's-eye perspective of his work.
More information about the building.

The rice terraces in Tirtagangga are fantastic. I was lucky enough to have the old style ox driven plowing taking place during my visit (more easily seen in the large version).
After my previous few kite photography sessions with very light winds, I was finally able to get some decent steady breezes coming off the sea.
