Rain's Thursday Art Date - Architecture

Hi Everybody!

For Rain's architecture theme I am showing  journal pages incorporating architecture made at various times over the past years. This is a rather long post, grab a tea or a coffee!

This is using a pic of the castle ruins here in Kaiserswerth as background:


This Halloween page is set in a castle a few miles from here:


This lady is carrying many architectural gems on her hat:


'There was a crooked man....'



Music and architecture:


 A strange crown:


A new eyebrow fashion:


New York, New York....



Using a photo taken in Israel:


In the 1960's in London many cheap new buildings were thrown up in record time to replace slums, and became even worse slums in a short time and needed to be disposed of:


Old houses - here one in London - are allowed to decay and then ripped down for profit, giving many people no chance to find affordable housing:





Another old building in London:



I was born near here:



Great architecture is always a joy:


Facing architecture:



Another picture from Israel:


Spitalfields, London with Christchurch on the right. The words are part of one of my poems:


Using another photo from Israel:



A journal page:


And another photo from Israel:


This mural can be found in Bristol:


Halloween again!


And a few photos of the Liebeskind building in Düsseldorf. I love this place:



















 I have so many pics I would like to share but will save them for another time!

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Evil wishes...

 Hi Everybody!

We are 'enjoying' really hot weather here again, this afternoon it's 34°, but should start getting a bit cooler again from tomorrow. It's unusual weather for this time of the year, but the weather seems to be unusual everywhere just now. And some are still insisting there's no climate change....

For my challenge at Tag Tuesday I have another tag made with my photos. The background is a rusty door I saw near here, the other 2 were taken at different times. The excited goose was taken at a park, the rooster lives at the farm down the road. The bespectacled goat and grass are from Serif! The quote, 'Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost',  is from Aesop:



Some more animals from the farm at the end of the road:





A beautiful house near here, now used as a hotel:


Pictures from my walks:








Lots of autumn berries:




Hopefully NOT impossible:


No coffee van this morning, I'm hopeful for tomorrow when the market takes place:



Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
