Walking through a small town bazaar, we were drawn to this building

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is…and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be…and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply imprisoned inside her ruined body.” ― Robert A. Heinlein

Hope over to Cee’s for more odd ball photos.

Have a grand weekend all of you 🙂

  4. molto saggio ragionamento 🙂
    l’edificio, con il tette erboso ( ultima moda degli architetti occidentali ! ) è molto interessante anche se mette addosso molta tristezza
    le foto sono molto belle
    grazie

  5. Wow, that really is an ancient building. The nature has its amazing quality of finding its own way if left alone, and that is the best way for the forests to regenerate.
    Such beautiful words for an artist 🙂
