Hi Everybody!
It's still very chilly here, but at least it stayed dry today.
One of the museums in town, the 'Kunstpalast' (Art Palace)
not only has a special exhibition at the moment but was
doing a free Sunday, so guess who was waiting in front
of the doors when they opened up this morning -
and it was worth it. I will share the photos bit by bit!
For Art Journal Journey, Susi's fun theme of collage with
a twist - no faces, no wings and no leaves - I
have another hybrid piece, using some elements from Mischief Circus.
And here some random photos taken yesterday and today.
On top of the spire of the: Basilica:
A cruise ship:
The square by the Basilica:
The pigeons always like sitting on top of the hospital roof:
This eye was watching me:
The horses were busy grazing:
This is the bronze eagle right up on the top of the roof of one
of the corporate buildings by the Rhine:
And this Rhino is in front of the art museum:
The building in the background used to be a planetarium and is
now a concert hall:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Wonderful page with so much colour and beauty
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to go to the art Palace with the wonderful sculpture of the rhino outside. Can't wait to see some of the wonders inside.
The different bird photographs are fantastic.. You have an eye for the things you know will interest all of us-thank you
Love Chrissie xx
Wonderful page, love the colours and all the details, just beautiful. Glad you had a fun day at the Kunstpalast, and am looking forward to seeing your photos of it. Nice pics today, too. Have a good, new week, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece! I love it. You capture such beauty in your photographs too.
ReplyDeleteLovely page, challenging with no leaves here. That eye in the tree bark is an amazing thing you spotted. Glad you were able to attend the free Sunday!
ReplyDeleteEine sehr schöne Seite und wunderbare Fotos - toll!
ReplyDeleteFreu mich schon auf die neuen Museumsfotos!
Schöne neue Woche!

Love this gorgeous page, great creativity and so beautiful..xx{aNNie}
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the Cockerel and the Eagle. What was the brilliant rhino carved from, Valerie?
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the post, many thanks.
It's a bronze by Johannes Rus from 2002. It is a fabulous piece.
DeleteThat rhino is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the horses are well taken care of.
Love your new header.
Hugs
Your latest AJJ entry is both beautiful and inspiring. The flowers simply pop off the page, and the background of ads is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI like the rhino sculpture and think it looks much better than the tiny one at our zoo. Free Sunday must have been wonderful. Free is ALWAYS good. Hope your Monday goes well. I'm recovering from a long day of hard work in my herb garden.
The rhino is really wonderful, life size and just gorgeous! I thought you would like it!
DeleteLove the new header and the fallish looking collage. They're both appropriate for this dark season. And more great photos today. Can't wait to see and read about the art exhibit. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGorgeous page Valerie!!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the tree "eye" and I agree with Erika,beautiful new header!
hugs,Jackie
When I first started taking photos a well known regional photographer told me "Look forward, backwards, up, down, left, right." There is so much we forget when we only go forward. Your photos are wonderful -- I especially love that tree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page, love the vibrant flower. And again the photographs are lovely, the 'eye' on the trunk is quite amazing. Happy Monday, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, your art work is beautiful. Great theme and you met the challenge perfectly. Wonderful random photos too. That eye in the tree is amazing. Have a nice creative week! xo
ReplyDeleteAnother great page Valerie ♥ Love all of the photos of your world...especially the Rhino ... he looks so real.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous collage, Valerie. hugs, TEresa
ReplyDeleteYou've excelled yourself again today, Valerie, this orange and dark collage is stunningly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the modern cockerel of top of the spire.
It's quite fun but I think it looks a bit tinny.
DeleteIts a gorgeous page, Love how you created this one.
ReplyDeleteGuess what I think I ordered these same kits yesterday, just not had to chance to play yet.
Love the photos and look forward to seeing the ones from your visit today, I would have joined you in the queue to get in as well.
