the zen of life...

the zen of life
welcome age-free living
and ageless dreams

📷One Mothers day 10 years ago, I wandered The Enchanted Adventure Garden, Arthurs Seat in gentle rain.
I found this lovely sculpture dreaming an ageless dreaming... pic.twitter.com/dnlc165g4b

This is one of many wood sculptures carved by Ken Blum scattered through the Enchanted Adventure Garden.

Emptiness...

This sculpture, "Emptiness", a bronze statue located at Lake Geneva, Switzerland, haunts me...

the art of grief...

The whole setting possibly in any season, in any weather, would be so emotionally atmospheric...

and I went for a drive to Stockinbingal...Part 2- side street...

 

Strange design for a post office...So I Googled...

Ellwood’s Hall was built by Thomas Ellwood and opened in June 1912. The Oddfellow’s Ball was the first entertainment there. The building included 2 shops with the hall's entrance in between...The post office currently occupies the first shop...

More details HERE

From this point, I discovered some unexpected house designs + the odd old business and garden features...Metal garden ornaments especially seemed to be favoured...

And once again I saw no one...

And behind the ex hotel were these 2 horses...

I felt that the police station looked more like a mini school...

And finally...this...

All this (and many more) surrounded the shed, (featured below), facing the street...

I am at quite a loss if anything is actually for sale or is this some grand hobby...

Once again, no one was around to ask...

art challenges perceived reality...

So love art that challenges our perceived reality...
This one allows reality to be a chameleon... https://t.co/PvJ1bY4GSV
