Across the street from the house I posted yesterday stands this house. It's a gem. I love the iron, the window tracery, the bowed glass that makes such a strange reflection, the greenery. For a house of it's age, it's in remarkably good condition.
I'm lucky enough to pass this house several times a week, and after looking at it longer, it seems that the glass isn't bowed after all--it's gone. Replaced by plexiglass, a substance far more likely to curve and bend the light in unexpected ways.
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).
Looks beautful ... I was wondering about the strange reflection.
