And now for something compleeetely different from my last couple of posts-
This time, Ailsa’s Travel Theme of the week is “delicate”. Is there anything more ornate and delicate than nineteenth century architecture? Probably, but I’m sticking with the architecture, because I want to share a bunch of photos taken when we spent a few days in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2012.
- Delicately carved eaves, painted to bring out the details
- This used to be the town bank – an unusual place, by our standards, for delicate floral patterns
- But the designs on the walls of the bank are rugged compared to this plaque
- This firescreen looks too delicate to withstand a gentle draft
Ahh perfect in my eyes, I love these little details!
Thanks, Gilly – so do I!
