I nosed through one of these windows.
of the Hotel de Ville, Marseille.
And I was able to see right across an empty room that was being renovated, to this pretty window and it’s shadows.
So I thought I’d share with Leya and you of course!

On A HOT DAY IN PROVENCE
A dog’s got to do what a dog’s got to do.
When I’m away from home, I always miss Flora and George, so I talk to strange dogs just like I talk to strange people!
Lens-Artist Photo Challenge
Thanks Leya, everyone loves windows!
A unusual window above, to me, even more unusual blue roof tiles.
A high, partly obscured window.
I can’t remember ever seeing a luthier’s window.
You have until next Friday to join this weeks challenge, Leya would be pleased to see you, she has Polish windows.
Paula’s Thursday Special, Frontier
Paula at Lost in Translation is making a flying visit this week with a Thursday Special challenge, with five words to choose between, I’ve chosen ‘Frontier’.
Am I the only one that hears a place name like Ouagadougou and wants to go there? The answer is probably yes, unless you say otherwise!
I didn’t cross the border, and the advice for Burkina Faso is currently only essential travel. This was as close as I could go when I took this photo.
There are four more choices this week, gushing, aperture, triplets and tapered, perhaps you’d like to join in?
Street Art Series
Graffiti writing and street art are often confused with one another. Both are subversive art movements where work is displayed in public rather than a gallery setting. While graffiti artists place their work in public, generally speaking they are not interested in the public understanding their work; they want to speak to other graffiti artists. Street artists want everyone to view and be engaged by their work. They are trying to make a statement. Graffiti writing and street art are closely related contemporary art movements, however, they differ in terms of technique, function and intent

I’ve decided to do an occasional post of street art, so the quote is for anyone who is uncertain of the difference. Like many of you, I love street art and find some graffiti interesting.
I’m kicking off with this on from the trendy Cour Julien and I’d love to know your feelings about street art.
Happy Thursday!
Wordless Wednesday
Matron’s office all stitched up
A few weeks ago I went to Wild About Wool, an event at Poltimore house. One of the things that touched me was the room that had been the Matron’s office. It had been decorated by some of the people showing their yarn work, both knitting and crochet.
It would be lovely if the decorations could stay in place while rebuilding continues, the room needs cheering up.
Just a quickie
Because I wanted to share tonight’s sky at the valley park with you.
Up!
I arrived at Marseille St Charles railway station by metro on the blue number 1 line and really didn’t need to venture outside. However, the station is known for its grand approach.
When I was there, it was very hot, the blue sky and white stone were dazzling. It was tempting to go back into the station building and stay cool, but I had to check it out.
The view was fabulous, all the way to Notre Dame de la Garde on the hill to the far right. I nearly stayed put at the top, but I’d seen photos and wanted to see the stairs going up. I’d need to save my energy so I went slowly down.
It was worth it.
104 steps, I went back up even slower, pretending that I was stopping to enjoy the view, but actually saving my breathe and my knees!
LOOK UP is this weeks Lens-Artist Photo Challenge and Patti is in wonderful Florence.
I couldn’t resist
I went for a walk with Flora and George at the Eastern fields this afternoon and there was more spindle than I’ve ever seen.
These aren’t colours of nature that present themselves in the UK very often, and I’m always thrilled when they do.
I know Becky won’t mind another pink square
