Make No Mistake

“Any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake.”
Luis Barragán

Louis H. Sullivan 1856-1924

Old and New

“Change is inevitable. Change is constant.”

Lonely House

“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets 

This old home, on Highway 1 in Olema Valley, is on land now owned by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The house is still standing because a rare colony of Thompson’s Big Eared Bats is living in the attic. Pretty romantic, huh?

Not Downton

“The British love permanence more than they love beauty.”
Hugh Casson 1910-1999

Sometimes they have both. This is Tewkesbury Abby in Gloucestershire, England.
It was built in 1150.

Some Degree

“All art is an abstraction to some degree.”
Henry Moore 1898-1986

Modern Art

“Do not strive to be a modern artist.
It's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being."
Salvador Dali 1904-1989
