tapestry

A painting I did years ago, it lives in a house with

lots of glass, I think it faded due to sun,

or it could be my memory that's faded..

& two ends of a tapestry I designed & had made

in Kashmir, which has lost some colour.

It was supposed to look like a mat with cushions;

they kept so closely to my painting, that they even rendered

how the paint had flaked off, in transit. I was living

in Dalhousie then, a hill station in northern India.

& I knew a lovely woman who ran a womens' handicraft

centre in Srinagar.

warm fires

Was away at another beach: big wild seas,

warm fires at night, & favourite company.

kahn & selesnick, so clever

ferry

Photos from an Istanbul ferry ride across to the Asian side,

love playing around with moving the camera, it's so

unpredictable. No posts for a few days.

Amazing what can be found on You Tube:

mango

Some days it's sunny, & warm. The mango tree left

is covered in blossoms, I think that's unusual for August,

maybe not.. if even a 1/4 set, it will be a time of

mango puris

dragons

The first water dragon top I've seen

for months. Went out with a friend, we had

to stop for a while, it was raining so hard, this

is through the windscreen, towards the sea.

dragon bones

storied

While looking for a particular photo from the end of

my stay in Istanbul, I was reminded of the fantastic

old buildings in that part of the city; the arch is dated 1904,

& a lot appear to be from that era, though the

decoration top left resembles an Assyrian Vampire palace..

Of course 1904 is relatively new, for Istanbul.

sounds like a great idea

unique

From a bush in my garden, every leaf is different,

it seems such an elegant & understated

originality.
