Travel themes: Delicate

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
