One of the reasons I loved traveling to different countries so much was the architectural diversity. Standing in the Taj Mahal or a Buddhist temple, visiting the Acropolis versus Notre Dame, was exhilarating for both the history and the beauty. The U.S.A. has some highlights, but we have to make do with buildings in our area that are at best 150 years old. And most houses in our neighborhood are in the 50 to 100 year old category. So it's interesting to see two very different styles standing next to each other.
The first is a cottage style that looks cozy and so inviting for a visit on the front porch.
Then, in my mind, oddly, stands a massive building that almost looks like a convention center. Mind you, wonderful arches (and we all know how I love arches), but it's the only one of its kind on a block of cozier homes. Mmmm.
Finally, apropos of absolutely nothing about architecture, these roses are amazing for the diversity of color on a single bush.
