Facade versus culture influences

Architecture at its best!

A photo I dug up from my files which to me is the definition of architecture at its best.

Each country differentiates itself by their food, art and architecture, this is the facade

of a house in the suburbs of Sint-Moritz.

Different is unique

Unusual twist to a facade
Meaning beautiful & unique
Why be like everyone when
You can be different 🙂

There is a castle in our backyard!

Posted on October 17, 2013 by oawritingspoemspaintings

Come see! There’s a castle in our backyard!

I have a hard time letting go of posting & getting on with restoring. I already know how to reduce the pixels which I have just done now with these two photos and feel I have climbed a step on the ladder of the blog-world 😉

I wanted to share with you this photo that seemed comical at the time. Imagine waking up one morning to see (I’m speaking of fantasy but this one is real!) a castle in your backyard! I wondered how the people living next to it felt with that as a view. Can you picture it?

Something has sprouted in our sleep!

You cradle them in your fold

You invite the houses
From far, cradle them
In your fold, consoling
Their ephemeral shadows.

Venice 2013 ( French poem with English translation ) Inauguration of year 2013!

Posted on January 1, 2013 by oawritingspoemspaintings

This poem was created soon after the count down hence the ” opening of… ” title
and is a result of a few summer days in a world full of dream and fantasy.
We had an amazing apartment-guide service from someone called Massimo Levis,
His references are,

Happy, healthy and serene new year!

Venice
———

Venice the beautiful
You sell dream by the load

The world envies you
Their imitation such pale
Reproduction!

The language that sings
“ Permesso “ in a quivering note

The Tabacchi, the stamps,
The postcards, sent hastily
To share, those seconds

Counted, this marvel.
This town so beautiful

That sells dream,
By the load

___________

Venise
——–

Venise la belle
Tu vends du rêve à la pelle

Le monde te jalouse
Leurs imitations si pâle
Reproduction !
