Summer sky through broken glass in Wellsford




Ok so I take a lot of photos of landscapes and skies etc. This week I found something different while I was on my lunch break at work. This building in Wellsford is up for rent, like a few others in the vicinity and unfortunately above the door the glass has been either stood on by someone or smashed by a heavy object. But it made for interesting viewing of the sky above...

The broken glass lines overlay the sky with what seems like impromptu art. Fascinating perspective of a pretty sky.

Yes, creative is quite apt! Unfortunately, it reminds me that our sun room window still is needing repair -- guess I can emulate your post and get something positive out of the damage. Cheers.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
