Oh my God -- these are absolutely beautiful. It is hard o imagine anything so old. I love the picture of Anika in the window!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs! I do find posting a comment difficult from my iPhone. However, posting is not too difficult from my laptop.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs of Buddha and carvings in the window with Anika remind me of Nepal, and my trip in 2003. I found the integration of art into everyday life in Asia enriching. We separate art, life, culture and religion in the US, and I find the delineation makes our everyday life more utilitarian in appearance.
I just returned from our trip to Greece. I found Athens somewhat similar to Bangkok in its hustle, traffic, and overall city feel. We had a great visit with Mechthild, and loved the Acropolis, and went on a magnificent visit to Delphi.
I also struggled to tolerate the heat in Athens; the Cyclades Island weather suited me better. I experienced some minor, but irritating, health problems due to the heat. Mayne is still in Greece, and off on a few more interesting adventures.
Keep up the great posts. Thanks,
