Orlando's Urban Monsters #1

Here's a collection of pictures taken in and around Downtown Orlando of gargoyles, dragons, griffins, green men, and mythical creatures carved into building's architecture.

These griffins are on a building near Orange Ave and Church St.


This nice Chinese Dragon is on the sign for Slingapours in Wall St. Plaza.



A painted Green Man outside of Dandelion Community Cafe just off of Colonial Drive.


This very similar green man is on Orange Ave in College Park.

Zellwood Corn Maze

Autumn is here with Halloween soon approaching. To get into the season, enjoy these pictures from a corn maze at Long & Scott Farms in Zellwood, FL, taken in 2005. This was an extremely difficult maze, and after hours, we still didn't complete it and eventually gave up...

Demolished Building...

On my last trip through Downtown Orlando, I came across this demolished building on Orange Ave. A demolished building usually isn't much to see, but in this case they left the foundation, still covered with the various types of tiles that were in each room. It's kind of cool to see the floor plan of an old building that no longer exists.



Here's a view of the new 55 West from the empty lot.
