Two Interesting Websites

Just discovered two very interesting websites:

Curious Expeditions

Under a heading of Librophiliac Love letter is a collection of photographs of beautiful libraries.

This is the library at Strahov Monestery in Prague

and

The Museum of Lost Wonder


Plenty to explore here.

Saturday Morning Frivolity

Always carrying my digital camera pays off sometimes.

Spotted these wonderful examples on the streets in my home town.

Patience is exhausted.


No don't.


I don't think they want visitors.


Slippery customers these Enlish.


And when a well known greeting card and gift shop closed in the town.

Maurits Escher

I've always loved the art of Maurits Escher. What an incredible imagination.







All images are from the Official M C Escher website

There is an Escher museum in the Hague. The website seems to be a work in progress, it could do with some more images of the place.

Mazey Day

My favourite day of the year is Mazey Day. This is one of the last events of the Golowan Festival which takes place in Penzance in the last week of June.

There is so much to see and I have taken so many photographs over the last five years that it is too much to put into one post. So this post is about the fantastic creations that are paraded through the streets.

These are from various years from 2006 to 2010.

Should have saved this for December. But what the hell, the shit's in the shops already!
