This is a Cubist villa designed by the French architect, Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Yves St Laurent lived at the house from the early 1980s until his death.
The house was built in the Majorelle Garden, a two and half acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was created by the French Orientalist artist, Jacques Majorelle.

These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.
The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.
I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

If you have never tried it - Japanese Sake (rice wine) is a wonderful accompaniment to a Japanese meal. It is a clear rice wine that is served warm in these tiny, delicate porcelain cups. It is decanted into the small bottle first, then warmed to room temperature. The tiny cups ensure that the sake does not cool down before you drink it. It can be quite deceptive, as warm alcohol goes to your head remarkably quickly!
I've had this small sake set since I was a student - signs of a mis-spent youth perhaps ;o)
Thanks to Clive Sax for his beautiful texture Falling

A simple jetty. Stand here on a calm morning or still evening and wonder, "Is there a more calming place in all the world?"

A photo from my 'Sight Lines' solo architectural photography exhibition, held in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire from 12th October to 19th November 2021.
This is an image of the much photographed, greatly loved, but now demolished, 1971 Welbeck Street Car Park in London. The structure is an example exoskeleton construction. It closed in August 2018. Architect: Michael R Blampied & Partners. Photo taken in January 2017.
I built this SUPER basic vig a while back, I'd love to hear what y'all have to say about this and if I should build more SW.
GOD BLESS!
The 2016 Weekend at the Asylum, organised by Victorian Steampunk Society is the biggest Steampunk Festival in Europe. It is held in the historic uphill district of Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
For four glorious days the historic streets of Lincoln are thronged with thousands of splendidly dressed steampunks enjoying a festival which strives to combine art, literature, music, fashion, comedy and simple good fun.
The event contains programmes of features and entertainment, such as the Empire Ball, Majors Review (The Major's Soiree) and the National Tea Duelling final, along with lots of live music and comedy and the largest steampunk market in the World, the Bazaar Eclectica.
During my time off this holiday season, I rearranged and organized my studio. I have been wanting to have a corner designated for floral photography and now I finally do.
I was inspired by an exhibition of Mapplethorpe's photography when I lived in Southern California a few years ago.
He has a very distinctive style. I am using it as my baseline inspiration and look forward to seeing where it leads me this year.
Anyone have any recommendations for simple, basic photography background kits?
The wall ain't cutting it! LOL

This is another view of the Bernini’s spiral staircase, looking up at the residential apartment attached to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The “hidden” staircase can only be viewed through a guided tour conducted by the Basilica’s personnel.
