St Louis Art Museum

 

A brief visit to the St Louis Art Museum today, the only building intact and in situ from the Worlds’ Fair in 1904.

I was very taken with this pigment pot, it appears that he has a counterpart in the Ashmolean that I must look out for.

These little creatures caught my eye….


…however…


…I mainly went… 


…to catch up with this old friend, a Bodhisattava Avalokiteśvara…

…seated in a position of  ‘royal ease’. A piece of such exquisite beauty, that stays long in the mind after you see it.

    Hello there. Nice Blog. You have some interesting pictures on here. I am sending an invitation to you. We hold a Bible Study on zoom from New Heaven and New Earth. I hope you accept it. We cover the OT and NT and Revelation within our studies. There are many believers there from all over the world to join in and learn about God's Words and wisdom. We also have a time to discuss about the lesson and time for some fellowshipping. It's greatly an amazing time. Would you be interested? 🙂

    Thank you so much 😊
    God Bless!

Return to Ronda

  The last few months have been a bit rough on the health front, so it’s been a delight to be on my travels again. First stop was glorious Ronda, staying in a hotel with it’s own cinema. A fantastic pizza was had… ….Christmas lights were admired… …a sunset revelled in… …but Ronda is all about the gorge (and bullfighting, Hemlingway and Orson Welles)… …and the amazing bridges. And a very poetic carpark.

Out on the River

Today we headed out… …on the water…  …for a little boat trip. We saw lots… …of interesting houses… …including this pink palace… …many, many beautiful… …temples… …and the largest Buddha in Bangkok… …which is still under construction. We stopped for a rest… …and a wander at The Artist’s House… …where we fed the fish, but not the pigeons… …and treated ourselves to some coconut milk. It was lovely to see a different side to the city… …and I am left wondering what was happening with this bear. A big thank you is due to Yu Leng’s friend Kevin, who suggested this trip.
