For those who prefer this without words all over it...
This was the stage setting for Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest, as it was performed by Chattyboo Productions at Cork Arts Theatre last year.
Here is an announcement and a review with photos.
Taken for the group Macro Monday on 4th October for where the theme was Oscar Wilde quotes.
I think I may revisit this theme again as he had some wonderful quotes, I could have taken many more shots today I just lacked the time :-)
The Adler Hotel Ruins
Sharon Springs, NY
The Adler Hotel, also known as the Hotel Adler, was a 150-room, five-story hotel in Sharon Springs, New York, that operated from 1929 until 2004. Known for its therapeutic sulfur spa, it catered primarily to a Jewish clientele who travelled to Sharon Springs in the summers. It was kosher, with two kitchens. It was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and was adjacent to the Pavilion Hotel (demolished in 1941), which had been a summer destination for guests such as the Vanderbilts, Rensselaers, and Oscar Wilde. Ed Koch worked as a busboy at the Adler Hotel in 1946. When Steven Spielberg was preparing for Schindler's List, he interviewed survivors staying at the hotel.
Life is never fair
and perhaps it is a good
thing for most of us
that it is not.

Constance Lloyd, l'épouse de l'écrivain dans le mémorial d'Oscar Wilde abrité par le Merrion Square Park, Dublin, Irlande.
Oscar Wilde est un écrivain, romancier, dramaturge et poète irlandais né à Dublin le 16 octobre 1854 et mort à Paris le 30 novembre 1900. Cette amusante représentation polychrome de lui étendu nonchalamment sur un rocher, est réalisée en 1997 par l’artiste Danny Osborne avec 40 variétés de pierres fines. Elle est située à l’angle nord-ouest du parc dont elle constitue la curiosité. La statue semble affiché un sourire sarcastique à la maison de famille située juste en face au 1 Merrion Square North où il a passé sa jeunesse 1855 à 1878. Faisant partie du mémorial, on peut voir juste à côté, sur un autre rocher, un bronze représentant agenouillée, son épouse Constance Lloyd enceinte et nue.
Wilde écrira entre autres le roman Le Portrait de Dorian Gray (1890) où il explore les liens entretenus par la beauté, la décadence et la duplicité. Au faîte de la gloire, Oscar Wilde poursuit le père de son amant Alfred Douglas pour diffamation, après que celui-ci a entrepris de faire scandale de son homosexualité. Au terme de trois procès retentissants, Oscar Wilde est condamné pour « grave immoralité » à deux ans de travaux forcés. Ruiné par ses différents procès et condamné à la banqueroute, dès sa libération en mai 1897, il quitte définitivement la Grande-Bretagne pour la France ou il mourra dans le dénuement, à l'âge de quarante-six ans.
Dublin (en irlandais : Baile Átha Cliath) est la plus grande ville de l'île d'Irlande et de l'État d'Irlande, dont elle est la capitale (Belfast étant la capitale de l'Irlande du Nord). La ville est située sur la côte orientale de l'île et au centre du comté de Dublin. Depuis le haut Moyen Âge, Dublin est le centre historique, politique, artistique, culturel, économique et industriel de l’Irlande.
Le nom de « Dublin » est généralement considéré comme provenant du gaélique originel Dubh Linn (« l'étang noir ») qui signifie maintenant « baie de la fumée », le nom d'un bassin d'un affluent de la Liffey, près duquel s'est érigée la première place forte des Vikings irlandais. Le nom gaélique contemporain Baile Átha Cliath (« La ville du gué des haies de roseaux ») fait référence au hameau qui se trouvait près du site de fondation de Dublin.
“People who count their chickens before they are hatched,
act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly
that it is impossible to count them accurately.”

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. (Quote by Oscar Wilde)
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

Created for MacroMondays - Theme - Oscar Wilde Quotations
Yesterday I went out into the mountains on a trail ride enjoying the beautiful fall day and to look for inspiration for this week's theme. I saw this ragged flower a near a fallen in old log cabin and noticed how while all was dying and decaying around it, it still seemed to have hope in looking up to the sun (stars).
Have a Great MacroMonday Everyone!

“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Macro Monday: Theme - Oscar Wilde quotes.
I loved this weeks theme as much as I love Oscar Wilde quotes. It challenged me and inspired me. I found it difficult to execute macro style, but came up with a few ideas in the end. My hubby would not allow me to write sin across his face with a marker so I used my trusty bandages. I'm happy with the result.
Happy Macro Monday!
