In the last years, Slovenians seem to be fond of vivid colours for their houses. But this one is nevertheless a rarity, the whole front side has been painted by a local artist. There are some murals around Slovenia but this painting is far larger.
Sitting out on the back deck with a down comforter on enjoying my morning coffee and a smoke, I watched as the birds happily surrounded the feeder to eat sunflower seeds on this frosty morning. I decided to grab my camera and see if I could get any shots of them on the wing. It's not an easy task, but I managed a couple.
Built in 1889 Belton House is undoubtably one of the finest examples of Restoration Architecture. It is near Grantham, Lincolnshire England.
It is a National Trust Property.
Yesterday's adventures took me to Lepe Beach in Hampshire. I really have a soft spot for this place. Its just so peaceful!
One of the views I took in just before the sun rose was of the Watch House. This hut was built in 1828 for the Coastguard to combat the smuggling & piracy activities that had plagued this busy stretch of water for centuries.
Just one of the fascinating reasons to visit Lepe with its mile of beach, pine-fringed cliffs, historic D-Day remains, and wild flower meadows. Its no wonder I can't get enough of this place!
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
Just the shell remains of the lovely, 18th century house built on the estate of Appuldurcombe. The site was previously connected to a Norman priory and is surrounded by a vast expanse of rolling downs on the Isle of Wight. This estate was the family seat of the Worsley family for over 300 years.
The Baroque style Appuldurcombe House was commenced in 1701 on the site of the large Tudor house inherited by Sir Robert Worsley. The construction was finally finished 70 years later, by Robert's great nephew, Sir Richard. The fine country house displays French architectural influences and unusually, the central section of the house was not emphasised. Instead Appuldurcombe House had prominent pavilions (or wings) projecting at either end of the middbuilding. Absolutlel typical of the English Baroque style are the intricate mouldings around the door and windows, however the overall appearance could be considered more Italianate in style, with its great columns and Corinthian capitals.

This House Sparrow - and another one or two - joined the Eurasian Tree Sparrow party, out of which I showed a picture yesterday. Usually Tree Sparrows are found where House Sparrows are missing, so House Sparrows are found more often in cities while Tree Sparrows more often outside of them. But in Southeast Asia, Tree Sparrows often take the place of the House Sparrows even in cities like Singapore. Sometimes members of both species however socialize. I have observed them do that in this specific place for several years now. Both of the species seem to be doing well under the current conditions in that area.
No one was around to tell me what happened to this house when I revisited the area and took another picture of this previously-posed disaster.
This Frank Lloyd Wright designed house in Kankakee, Illinois was built in 1901 for Warren R. Hickox, Jr. The house is located in Kankakee's Riverview Historic District.
The house was designed and built as at the same time as its neighbor, the Bradley House, which is the only other FLW designed house in Kankakee.
