“The smallest patch of green to arrest the monotony of asphalt and concrete is as important to the value of real estate as streets, sewers and convenient shopping.”
James Felt
Every year, between Thanksgiving and the first week in January, our neighborhood becomes a buzzing hub of people, cars, shopping bags and activity. Thousands of shoppers, shopping non-stop.
During this period we search for alternate driving routes, try to do as little shopping as possible and look forward to the days when we have our streets back. We can almost see the end of the tunnel.
In the meantime, I am taking off for a few days to Los Angeles and will say hi from there! Take care everyone! :)
“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
At Pike Place, people take pleasure in a relatively humble architecture that connects them to the past and provides plenty of opportunity for social interaction. ... A market can offer the prospect of racial, ethnic, and economic integration-better, probably, than any other part of a city. Cities can benefit from such strong, humane, functional focal points.
Philip Langdon, et.al. (Urban Excellence. NY: Van Nostrand Reinhold. 1990. p. 62).
A Farmers' Market is a delightful counterpoint to modern life, a little patch of green in an asphalt city, an oasis of sight and touch and smell in a climate-controlled, vacuum-sealed world. Having been eclipsed by the glamour of the supermarket some 50 years ago, farmers' markets are flourishing again... Direct contact is the lure of the farmers' market -- direct contact with the growers, with the produce and, if one is lucky, with one's appetite.
Molly O'Neill, "Market Value", New York Times Magazine, June 9, 1996, p. 151.
The fact that everyone at the market, black and white, rich and poor, benefits from being there is a powerful incentive for people to forget their differences and get along. In the process, racial tensions are reduced, as a wide variety of people are able to observe each other close up and see how foolish stereotypes and hatred are.
David Bernstein (student, Yale Law School) from his essay Racial Tensions: The Market Is the Solution, in the The Freeman, July 1989
"You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Thank you for your comments! :-)
I had to run back to the car after 5 min, because my fingertips were freeeeezing!!
This is taken about 2 hours north of Lillehammer:-)
Felt like having a sepia day today. Today's five have all been scraped out of old folders lurking on the hard drive, so they were rejects first time round and the prioirty in processing was speed not perfection.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world, had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.

You will think this is a funny title, but this morning I was sitting in the dentist's chair with my mouth clamped open, and it suddenly occurred to me that the staircase in that building was quite interesting, and I resolved to take a picture once I had escaped. So that's exactly what I did, in fact I took several, and played around with colours and shadows as the original is dull green. The amazing thing is that I worked in that building for 15 years, on the top floor, and never really noticed the architecture.

Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going --
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.”

Interior space, Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM). Designed by Santiago Calatrava.
Several galleries have windows with expansive views of Lake Michigan. I am fairly conservative in my architectural taste, so I was pleasantly surprised to find how well I responded to Calatrava's design of MAM, both exterior and interior.
Not normally one to upload multiple versions of the same thing, but I really can't decide which of these 3 is the best... any suggestions?
I went outside this morning to get some shots of the heavy fog we have today, and I happened across this beautiful dew covered web....
We are supposed to have partly sunny weather today, after the fog lifts, so I might try to go out then and see if I can get a better shot that isn't quite so grainy.
What's interesting to me is how close to the surface it is relative to how deep I know the canal is - implying that its sat on top of whatever load of trash someone previously dumped at this spot...
This last weekend we visited Belton House. With the beds being replanted at present the predominant colours in the gardens seemed to be green or brown but luckily behind the coffee house there were some plants for sale so I found a little colour to photograph. Pity I didn't get the name of the flowers though, if you know please feel free to add a tag.
Most of the pictures I took in the past few weeks were while stuck in traffic. This one is no exception.
I WISH YOU ALL A GREAT WORK-WEEK - FILLED WITH LIGHT AND UNEXPECTED WONDERFULNESS :-)
Met the guy who gets to clean the accumulated shite out of the canal today. As I left his haul within 50 yards was 3 shopping trolleys, a bike, a baby buggy and a metal sign... so I asked him if this was a particularly bad spot. He said "this is pretty bad, but then I haven't been here for a fortnight..." seriously worrying. Lousy kids strike again I guess.
Tried this one before and it didnt quite come out, but I went earlier in the morning today so the sun was lower and it cast those rippled reflections a bit further....

All jungles were dangerous, of course, but here there seemed something more malign, more ominous even than the shrieks of monkeys, and the claw marks around the camp site, fresh each morning...

The air was thick. After long days trekking through the clear thin atmosphere of the mountains and high passes, descending into the valley it posed as solid a barrier as the curling wall of greenery before her...

The French clergyman Bishop Pompallier offered the first Mass in the South Island at Akaroa. This pretty church, with its dark backdrop of manuka bush and ornate fret-worked fascia boards, is the third on the site (the first burned down; the second blew away). Catholic priest Father Chataigner was responsible for much of the design and construction of this church built from rough-sawn totara slabs hewn from the local forest with matai being used for the principals and framing. Most of it dates from 1865 with a front porch being added in 1886 and a bell tower in 1893.
