It's fascinating that we can call a window "Gothic" or "Roman" by its shape and construction. People adhere to rules at every opportunity, rather than trying new things on a regular basis. Why do we do that? Why have we always done that?Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-40441980657652942232009-08-09T09:09:03.321+10:002009-08-09T09:09:03.321+10:00Marylène ~ "fellow" makes me think of Hu...Marylène ~ "fellow" makes me think of Hugh Grant immediately. :)Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-70834492663478716072009-08-09T02:50:11.230+10:002009-08-09T02:50:11.230+10:00Maybe my eye is not so accurate as yours !

I've heard and read that finding them in the same building was quite common.<br />It lasted until all workers knew how to calculate the shape of those b.... stones (Maths again !!) to make that "damned new thing work" !!! But it is the first time I see it on the same window !Marylènehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529601370829793771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-56021085191689967062009-08-08T14:45:13.462+10:002009-08-08T14:45:13.462+10:00If you draw the phone book could you add cute Cart...If you draw the phone book could you add cute Cartier guy's number also?

Some people just have an "eye" and notice the wonderful details that the rest of us are blind to. I think we're capable of appreciating them when they're pointed out, though. So how nice for us that you can create such lovely visuals—and also that you're willing to share. I just love visiting Venice with you on Friday!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815983123229218451.post-75844177205061105682009-08-08T02:46:00.996+10:002009-08-08T02:46:00.996+10:00I would never have known these arches were rivals ...I would never have known these arches were rivals had you not told us. Why am I not surprised that this particular window caught your (artistic)eye? <br />How do you manage to not only see such detail, but to create it so faithfully and delicately?
