😎I bar sono luoghi universali, come le chiese, sacri luoghi di ritrovo dell’umanità .

Bars are universal places, like churches, sacred meeting places of humanity.

Painting by Marcello Scarselli on a garage door in Lajatico, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.
After several consecutive Black and White images, I was craving some bold colours!
Marcello Scarselli is a well-known Tuscan painter and sculptor who lives in Bientina, near Lajatico in the Pisa province.
Lajatico is the birthplace of the famous Tenor Andrea Bocelli, who holds his annual event in Lajatico at the Teatro di Silenzio. This has transformed Lajatico into a mecca for artists who exhibit artwork around the town, attracting many visitors and improving the local economy.

Four candy-pink, Ranunculus, beauties.
Persian buttercup (Ranunculus asiaticus) is a perennial plant that can grow to be a foot and a half tall.
They have blooms that resemble roses, with simple , like HERE, or branched stems.
The petals are often highly lustrous, some species are popular ornamental flowers in horticulture, with many cultivars selected for large and brightly coloured flowers.
What got me 'in' to 'flower-photography', was that I was fascinated by ‘light’ and wanted to know more about lighting...
That was 27 years ago, it started with painting and evolved into photography.
Flowers seemed the perfect subject matter, because of their different colours, shapes, textures, great variety and 'characters', I'd had many a garden, grown my own, so, I started out with an advantage, I knew about flowers...
I found a niche in the market, for 16 years now people have been 'raving' about them, asking me how I 'do' it?
Copying, imitating and stealing, photos, words and even titles.
They say it is the highest ‘accolade’ for an artist? LOL.
There is NO magic formula, each flower is unique and treated as such! I do NOT consider myself a 'flower-photographer' but a a photographer who knows how to use lighting well...
Glad you enjoy them.
Thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

Van der Pekbuurt (neighbourhood).
During the entire renovation of this neighbourhood, the historic appearance of the outside of the houses has been restored. The new wooden doors, windows and frames have the original colours from the 1920s: ocher yellow, dark green and red brown.
De Van der Pekbuurt is gebouwd tussen 1918 en 1926 en is daarmee een van de eerste tuindorpen van Amsterdam. Architect Jan Ernst van der Pek ontwierp de stedenbouwkundige en architectonische opzet in 1916. Rode bakstenen muren, geglazuurde gele bakstenen banden en portieken die uit de gevels springen kenmerkten het straatbeeld. De wijk geldt als beschermd stadsgezicht.
De woonblokken hadden door de vele aanpassingen in de loop der tijd hun oorspronkelijke charme verloren. Door kunststof kozijnen en verdwenen originele details zoals dakkapelletjes, tuinmuren en voordeuren hadden de blokken een armoedige uitstraling gekregen. Ook de originele kleuren waren verdwenen.
Binnen de gehele renovatie van de wijk is aan de buitenzijde de historische uitstraling van de woningen van de Van der Pekbuurt teruggebracht. Zo hebben de nieuwe houten deuren en kozijnen de oorspronkelijke kleuren uit de jaren 1920: okergeel, donkergroen en roodbruin (architectenweb.nl).
