Layers of History
I once blogged about architect David Ling and enjoyed how he called rusted or patinated surfaces as having “layers of history. That’s a great way to describe spaces that have seen a lot of living and love but haven’t experienced it themselves. At least, that’s my romanticized version of it. Here are some images — please note that you can click on them to zoom:

When I’ve traveled to countries that have quite a bit of history, I’ve marvel at the weathered surfaces and have expressed my appreciation. Of course, they see it as something that needs fixing and not something to crow about but hey, I find it beautiful. Hope you had a wonderful start to the week — see you soon, dear Readers!

Great pics, so pretty. BTW – I clicked on the first picture to see the layers in that restaurant and it didn’t zoom in, instead it took me to their website.

Thank you! It was hard to narrow down the pics. BTW, believe I fixed the first pic, should zoom now…
