Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.

And you back it up with a perfect example!
It is a magnificent building.
European architecture boggles the mind with its beauty – show me a building any day like the one above as opposed to any Western skyscraper…
Some of our old buildings are amazing
I can totally attest to that quote, Cherie. Totally! European architecture in particular has enthralled me.
So glad you like it
Architects grow old and, one by one, they eventually die until the last of the breed died in 1944.
They have not been replaced.
begging your pardon…
it was 1960 not 1944
sorry about that; my secretary is now on ‘gardening leave’
There was me thinking there was some sort of war connection that I had missed
I don’t think the modern buildings will stand the test of time…
Ah, thar be wisdom thar, Cherie.
Great photo and a quote to go with it.
Glad you like it
Never
trust anyone who is talking in superlatives.
I am getting a sense of Deja vu!
Blimey, this was supposed to only appear here, CherryPie.
Sorry about the doublet. Too much tea I suppose.
Nothing similar will happen tonight, though. A glass of red is smiling at me. Sláinte.
Curiouser and curiouser!
Who knows what could happen after a glass of red…
The first glas
transforms you into a playful gazelle,
the second to a mettled zebra,
the third to a roaring lion
and the fourth to a silly donkey.
Haha, Turkish proverb, if I remember correctly.
I think perhaps I had best stick to one glass at a time then!
