今天真的很開心很歡樂!您猜對了嗎？這是大東藝術中心的地板!晚安，親愛的好友們😎

Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.

This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.

The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".

This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)

This shot is from last January! Wish my floor looked like this!!

I's the season of colour before the bleakness of November hits us in the face, so I'll just keep going with the colour theme for awhile longer if you don't mind.

This is on a trail at the cottage. Sometimes, the colour is down below.

Hello there! I hope all is well my friends! I am here today featuring :Haikei: at Kustom9 Event with HAI.K /SWEETTIME/ FATPACK! The set is brand new and I decorated a bedroom space in the home that comes with the fatpack. The main piece in this room is the bed. There is 2 bed options. One is purple and one is pink. As you can see I went with the pink option. I had fun making this the ultimate pink bedroom space. It's nice having extra colors in there for a big pop of color throughout this room space. I was just in a fun mood and made it reflect in this bedroom space! This is what I came up with! Full details are on the blog. Feel free to have a look! Thank you so much for the support my friends and have a blessed week ahead! xoxo <3333 Ebony

Mirror and painting over the fake (!) fireplace are 18th-century, the green clavecin too (tiny corner on the left. There are no wood panels, that's fake too. The mannequin looks like the "Sarotti-Moor". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarotti I don't know what they think, to put mannequins like that in the castle. In Germany this room would be on the first floor, in America on the second.

I switched a year ago to a calibrated IPS monitor for looking at these.

a shabby chic***antique store

Lawton, OK

Last weekend we walked along a stream in a small nature reserve outside the city. Mid March and nature was still holding back. It was probably still too cold. Most of the forest floor was covered in last year's dry leaves, branches and twigs were bare and the air was cold. As we passed by a spruce forest, a delicate green shone on the forest floor beneath the spruces, a wonderfully soft and fluffy carpet of moss. The afternoon sun only lit small patches of the moss and it seemed somehow enchanted, as if only fairies and dwarves were missing and the picture would be perfect :-).

Kent's Ide Hill NT Woodland Walk..

Literally set among the suggestive rocks of the Lucanian Dolomites , Castelmezzano , in the province of Potenza , is one of the most precious jewels of Basilicata . Its perched houses reminiscent of a crib , the rugged peaks that frame it, the small alleys and stairways that run through it offer enchanting views that truly conquer everyone and give off the perfect atmosphere for a weekend of high romance . The splendid location would be enough to make the resort an ideal destination for an extremely pleasant couple's stay , but in reality Castelmezzano has much more to offer visitors in search of a romantic atmosphere.

The emotion begins to grow already along the way when, after crossing a spectacular gorge , you find yourself walking along a tunnel dug into the rock , at the exit of which the view of the village clinging to the Lucanian Dolomites reaches straight to the heart, giving you immediately the impression of being in the right place with the right person. The shapes of the rocky peaks and their play of lights and shadows explain their evocative names, ranging from "beak of vicetta" to "lion's mouth" up to "anvil" and " golden eagle" , while the historic center with its typically medieval structure, enchants with the beauty of its houses wedged between the rocks and surmounted by roofs in sandstone slabs . Walking along the narrow alleys of the historic center and climbing the small stairways, you reach magnificent panoramic points from which to enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding landscapes , in a continuous interaction between urbanized views and natural sceneries that have earned the town the nickname of the city - nature .

Furthermore, Castelmezzano is included in the list of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy and, admiring the artistic and architectural treasures that it holds, immediately explains why. Piazza Caizzo with the splendid mother church of Santa Maria dell'Olmo is only the beginning of a magnificent itinerary dedicated to history and beauty. Walking along the main street of the town , with the Town Hall building to adorn it, you reach the ruins of the castle and, entering the streets of the center, you discover other precious buildings ranging from the elegant Palazzo Ducale to Palazzo Coiro . Going outside the town and exploring the surroundings, you will discover other enchanting surprises. The ancient mills with roofs made of local chiang chimate stone slabs dot the Caperrino valley crossed by picturesque buildings, stairways and bridges , while vestiges of distant eras peep out among the uncontaminated scenery of the Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Park .

I´m very glad this photo is published on "The Sea Letter", a literary journal of poetry and short fiction, based in Galveston, Texas.

Many thanks to Leo Gonzales!

I’ve Been Here

Leaves covered the rough ground

Musty smells mixed with

Fresh October air

I crawled out of the tent

Drank hot black coffee

And began my day’s task of learning to read signs

Behind the tent on a steep slope

I examined my footprints

So I would know how it looked

When I passed through

For hours I studied

A cracked leaf

A snapped twig

A depression

After a time, I saw that

I had been there

Unmistakable

Peiko Jones always MUST lick the butter dish before it goes into the dishwasher. When I went to pick it up I noticed these shadows from my windowsill knickknacks on the floor, please ignore any crumbs :)
