Magical rapture Pierces my heart; Fixed is my gaze Burning with terror I reel, my heart faints and fails. Arthur Rackham, from Siegfried & The twilight of the gods, by Richard Wagner, London, 1911

Because of ill health I've had to close some of my blogs. As long as I can I'll keep this blog going but will reduce the number of pictures to two a day and the evening music will not be posted. Apologies.

I stumbled upon a post called " 50 Most Strange and Unusual Buildings Around the World " on a site called 2expertsdesign.com These 5 are quite interesting, probably would make you sick if you were drunk or give you a seizure if you were epileptic... Krzywy Dom Aqua Building, East View Dancing House Don Pastawiony na glowie (whatever the heck that means!) Upside Down Building, City Hall, Tempe AZ  I have to wonder... were they designed this way or do some contractors have some major explaining to do?  What would Mike Holmes have to say about this?

Chalk art is unbelievable.   I admire the dedication of these artists, spending hours to create something that is stunning, only to have it washed away at the next rainfall. Still, a picture lasts forever,  and these are certainly worth sharing.  Visit the  originating website  for more info about the artists and the Sarasota Chalk Festival. My favourites are the "Trompe L'Oeil" ones.  Or "fools the eye" if you didn't get that. ;) Wow A Lego tribute piece in progress It's Avatar!
