THE FOOD MARKETS OF EAST AND WEST

Hi All,
I can't believe that the winter is over, for those who live in Australia, that is.  And I must say it was the worst winter weather ever, I am not one bit upset that it is finished.  So I've decided to mark this small event with a big celebration and what is the pinnacle of every successful celebration - food of course!  But not in a conventional way by sharing recipes and images of the dishes cooked and served at one or the other food establishments or home.  No, I wanted to do something different and so I've opted to follow the pattern of the last few posts and share with you more!!! images from my photo library from the folder called "Food glorious food".

I hope that you find the diversity of these images fascinating?

Till the next post,

Anna

 

Windows at a glance

Hi All,

Since I ventured into the area of architecture (see the previous post), I think it is only fair if I mentioned something about another architectural feature  - the window. 

If the door plays a role akin to a book cover, would it be right to call the windows book flaps? And as book flaps offer an overview of the book without revealing the whole story, so do the windows grant you just a glimpse of what’s inside. 

But that's where the similarity ends.  If the content of the book flap caught your attention, reading the book will be the obvious way to satisfying your curiosity, but windows never reveal the identity of what and who lies behind them...

The images that I would like to share with you today are also a part of my extensive photo library. You might notice that none of the them represents a commercial enterprise of any kind and I have a very good reason for it.  But that is the story for another post.

Meanwhile, please enjoy

Doors sincerely

Hi All,

Today I've decided once again to change the direction of my blog and talk about architecture, or an architectural feature to be exact, the humble door.  Yes, that rectangular shaped object which demarcates inside from outside and plays as important role in creating an impression about the people who live behind it as much as a book cover does for the contents of a book.

As I wrote in my last post, I hate to be superficial, but let's face it, first impressions are the most common way we initially perceive people and objects.  So, if you ever happen to find yourself having to choose a door, spend some time thinking about what your door may say about you.

The good thing about choosing a door is that unlike a great pair  of shoes, you do not need to spend a fortune, and you'll only ever need one front door.

To prove my case, I went to the library of images about my travels that I’ve been building over the years and categorising into subjects such as Doors, Windows, Food, etc so that I can share with you some inspiration of what lies behind the humble door.
