Red chairs in the rain

One from Whangarei taken the week before Christmas 2021. I like to walk down little side streets and alleys off the main roads. This one I took while it was raining as I stood under a shop's front cover, I particularly like how the red chairs link in with the AON Insurance building next door.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

The back streets often surprise me. Either by chance or design, the red works well.

Red always captures the attention of a viewer. It makes one want to stop and look.

A person after my own heart, wandering around looking at things just for its own sake. I love that you tied in the two reds.

Greetings and Salutations! Taking the back streets or sidewalks is where the interesting finds are for sure. Agree with Tom, those red chairs would be covered with snow in the Chicagoland area too. I like seeing the palm trees and rainy days. Helps me remember that Spring is right around the corner. So enjoy what I have now.

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 .

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 ...
