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? 🙂

    Please message me on my Instagram @Faithbasedfitnesz

    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.

Corbigny past and present

  Itˋs still too damn hot, but I managed a trip out to Corbigny, where there is a lovely toy shop… …interesting mediaeval bits and pieces… …fun shop signs… …a great place to drink coffee and watch the world go by… …suitably mad French cars… …and baffling street furniture… …and a chilling reminder that not that long ago, people like you and me were taken away and annihilated. Remember them, never forget, never again.
