Always We Hope Someone Else Has The Answer.  Some Other Place Will Be Better, Some Other Time It Will

Cite de l’Automobile Musee An automobile museum located in Mulhouse, France, and built around the Schlumpf collection.  It has the largest collection of automobiles.  I loved looking around this museum.

Bold, Vivid Colours

Cite de l'Automobile National Museum, Mulhouse, France.It contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world.  Brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf built the Bugatti collection obsessively and quickly. During the summer of 1960, they acquired ten Bugattis, including two Type 57s and one Type 46 5-litre model. In addition the pair found three Rolls-Royces, two Hispano-Suizas and one Tatra. By the end of the summer, they had purchased 40 cars.  An impressive collection of cars!

Frosty Mornings

The winter garden has striking shapes and textures.  Frost has a magical effect on objects, producing sparkling highlights and striking patterns.

Perfect

“These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones, they are for what they are; they exist today.  There is no time to them.  There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every movement of its existence.  Before a leaf-bud has burst. its whole life acts, in the full blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), From “Self-Reliance”

Pomperols Festival, South Of France.  The enthusiastic spectators, eclectic range of weird and wonderful activities combine to create a vibrant, theatrical visual experience and a wealth of photo opportunities.

The Smallest House In Great Britain, Conwy, Wales

The house was created in the 16th century.  The smallest house in             Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep.  The house has a living area and bedroom.  It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones.  Robert was 6ft 3″.  The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully.  He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.

Time to breathe In the bustle of life.  In the pressure of decisions, peace has become a luxury.  Take it when it comes, and cherish it.  It gives you the time to breathe.  It gives you rest and hope and life.

Pam Brown 1928

You do not need to leave your room.... Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Even in the heart of a city there can be a place of calm. Doors shut and curtains closed, a light against the dark, wrapped round in dear, accustomed things we can withdraw and find ourselves again.

Pam Brown, B. 1928
