Bread and Oil
In my childhood the "Pane e Oliol" was the official afternoon snack.
The Bread, for us, was all. It was said, "When you have the bread, you have dinner!"
Because bread is the symbol of the simple, of the essential ingredient, enough .....
And it has remained the phrase as an example of a simple thing, just like the "Pane e Olio"
This image reminded me of those summer afternoons, in which the bread and oil had eaten out ...... and it was tastier!! : )))

Anybody can completely cover a window with a sheet of plywood. It takes real talent to fill each pane with plywood pieces in varying shades, tones, and textures. Each of which could be a cool pic in its own right. Maybe I'll give that a shot next.

A second story window overlooks a back entrance to the Jackson Iron Company Hotel at Fayette Historic Park in Garden, Michigan. The hotel included a dining room and saloon on the first floor. While there were guest rooms, most of the second floor was arranged like a bunkhouse, letting out beds to ironworkers that didn't have standalone housing in the bustling company town. A stare through this window would look to Lake Michigan, but not before a glance to the town jail, small workers cabins, and a beach used for collecting trash and debris from the smelting process. It all looks clean now...small depressions where buildings stood, green grass, and a sand beach lapped by crystal clear water.

The Shed:
There’s a shed at the bottom of our garden
With a spider’s web hanging across the door,
The hinges are rusty and creak in the wind.
When I’m in bed I lie and I listen,
I’ll open that door one day.
There’s a dusty old window around at the side
With three cracked panes of glass,
I often think there’s someone staring at me
Each time that I pass,
I’ll peep through that window one day.
My brother says there’s a ghost in the shed
Who hides under the rotten floorboards,
And if I ever dare to set foot inside
He’ll jump out and chop off my head,
But I’ll take a peek one day.
I know that there isn’t really a ghost,
My brother tells lies to keep the shed for his den;
There isn’t anyone staring or making strange noises
And the spider has been gone from his web
since I don’t know when,
I’ll go into that shed one day soon,
But not just yet...

perhaps you might recall this subject from a previous post with a slightly different PoV and a slightly different impression,
I took this photo at the zoological gardens. I was standing near the glass panes of the seal pool when I noticed that the moving water was refracting the sunrays and conjuring up a lovely dancing rainbow on the pebbles of the stone floor.
I'm pretty sure people were wondering what this crazy woman was doing there on the ground ; ))
I was fighting a pretty nasty bug lately that had me coughing for weeks and made me very tired and listless. Now I'm slowly coming back.
I will try to catch up during the coming week : )

A couple of weeks ago I posted a B&W version of this window with plywood replacing the broken panes. I trimmed this one up a bit.
The previous version was cool and pretty well received by y'all, so let's see what you think of this.

This image showcases a stunning street view in Palermo, Sicily, taken from an ultra-low angle that accentuates the grandeur of the historic architecture. The primary focus is on the Palermo Cathedral (Cattedrale di Palermo), an iconic landmark that exemplifies the cityâs rich cultural heritage. The cathedral's design is a harmonious blend of various architectural styles, including Norman, Moorish, Gothic, and Baroque influences, reflecting the diverse civilizations that have shaped Palermo over centuries.
The left side of the image features a row of ornate palazzi, likely dating back to the Renaissance or Baroque periods. These buildings exhibit traditional Sicilian architectural features, such as arched windows, intricately carved stone details, and iron balconies. The street itself exudes a timeless charm, with its cobblestone pavement and warm-toned facades that are characteristic of Mediterranean urban settings.
Palermo's historical significance is deeply tied to its role as a cultural crossroads in the Mediterranean. Founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by the Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish, the city has absorbed influences from each era. The Palermo Cathedral, originally built in 1185, stands as a testament to this layered history. Its evolution over the centuries, with additions from different periods, embodies the city's dynamic past.
Culinary traditions in Palermo are equally rich and diverse, with street food playing a central role. Visitors to the area might enjoy sampling dishes such as arancini (stuffed rice balls), pane e panelle (chickpea fritters served in a sandwich), and the famous cassata siciliana, a traditional dessert. The cityâs vibrant food markets, such as Ballarò and Vucciria, provide an immersive experience into Palermoâs gastronomic culture, which, much like its architecture, reflects a tapestry of influences from its multicultural history.

Hornbeam foliage forms a veil of green leaded like stained glass with black branches. For how many millennia has the sun illuminated spring leaves for eyes comprehending or otherwise? Just doing the math very roughly, it has been millions of mornings like this, and many thousands in recorded history. But how many of them do you want to see in your life? At this time of year, at similar latitudes, there is one continuous, glorious morning gliding around the planet as it revolves.
And who knows what beauties coalesce silently near where you live every week — enough that the message is the same: go outside! Quick!
There's time to fav this photo when you come back. 😁

The Keep ! Well it has that look to me even if in reality it is a water pumping station in Leatherhead . Way back as a child , this building always looked intimidating and dramatic and not nice place , so with this history and the artwork for the film The Keep , the two places have a similar feel . The Keep in my head is from a Micheal Mann film from 1983 with a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream , a dark movie set in World War Two

The shot was taken for Saturday Self Challenge 30/03/2024 - Right Angles .
I think with a little help from it's late Art Deco design there quite a few right angles to find and I think I have found a few right angles here - from all the right angles , internal and external of the building outline , right angles in the panes of the windows , and designs in the doors . There are more r.angles on the door surrounds and the sign above , then the brick pillars on the pillars of the entrance gates and then all of the street furniture , signs , lampposts , junction boxes and even in the topiary !!
Needles to say I have not attempted to count how many right angles can be found in this shot - all I can say is that there could well be over six hundred right angles at a very rough guess !!
For a Sight & Sound I have chosen one of the tracks from the film ( the middle of the three ) , but I always think they should be played together -----
