Aww thanks. It's actually supposed to resemble a kiva (it's faux) in these parts, but yes it does look like an alcove. 😃
It's great to just watch the flames sometimes. Just wait for the dragon flames. 🔥🔥🔥

First fire of the season. It was cold today. I need to get my dragon flames so the flame colors are purple and blue....it looks super dragon-y. I have no central heating so this is what keeps me and the dogs & cats warm! 🍞🔥🤠

Street Art - Istanbul, Turkey

An beautifully inventive mural of a hand holding a paintbrush, the tree perfectly placed behind the wall forms the bristles of the brush, blue paint drips down. 🤠🎨🖌️

Have you seen this?

Artist Yayoi Kusama launched a touring exhibition around Europe. Riehen, Switzerland is the first stop.
Fondation Beyeler is the first Swiss museum to host a retrospective exhibit devoted to Kusama, featuring works brought from eight different countries. I am in awe of her! 💥💥💥

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

Buildings from a dream....

These traditional Yemeni tower houses in Sanaa rise directly from the rock. They combine ancient stone masonry with ornate white geometric window frames. The buildings remind me of gingerbread houses that you put together with white icing. 😃🏘️🤯

Street Art - USA

Wonderfully whimsical chalk drawing from an artist who sees beyond the cracks and blemishes on the ground. 🤠 A green character appears to have wild hair made of real grass and purple flowers growing out of the ground. Magical✨

I agree. I used to think it was mostly horror, but it's so much more! 🤩

Street Art - Ireland

A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁

House of Dynamite, the latest from director Kathryn Bigelow, does not disappoint! 😱 The story engages you from the start. Showing everyday people and their reactions to a crisis. If apocalyptic political thrillers are your cup of tea, I
recommend 💯! Cast is first rate.

Buildings from a dream. ✨✨✨

This home in Germany with flowing lines and a wave-shaped slate roof blurs the line between fairy tale and eco-architecture. Made of natural materials it's whimsical in appearance, yet it feels like it grew out of the Earth! 🤠
