Creative Maze - Photography

For today's Creative Maze I'd like to share another one of my photographs. One of my favorite things to take pictures of is architecture and I love the ornate design of churches.

This is Bath Abbey in Bath, England and as you can see it's a beautiful place. Over the years that I've been living here, I've visited Bath many times and I always make sure to go by to take a look at the abbey.

One thing that I love about photography is that you can revisit a time and place whenever you want...and all that you have to do is go and look at your photos and the memories come flooding back!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Arts and Culture: Importance, meaning and the Arts Council.

 

Hello, and welcome back to the labyrinth.  In today's post, I would like to talk about the importance of the arts and culture, and what they might mean, in our lives.  For me, art, in any form, can be inspiring and regenerative, can stun the senses creating wonderment (for example, the first time I saw Turner's work in London, and Monet's work in Paris - all I could say and think was 'Wow...'), and can massively enhance our mood.  It feels good to read a great book, to be an audience member at a great play, film or concert, or to produce something creative yourself, doesn't it?  Culture, for me, represents humanity in action - the road map of how we have lived and are living, and what we think, feel and believe.  In today's multi-cultural society, then, the inevitable blending of artistic and cultural ideas should be more interesting and exciting than ever.

Food - Spinach & Cheese Ravioli

 

 

Once again it's my turn to share another luscious bit of food porn. As you can see, I love taking pics of food ;-)  Anyway, I had this in Bath, England a while back, but the memory of how good it was is still very strong in my mind. It's spinach and cheese ravioli, garnished with cheese and a little bit of salad and gloriously toasted bread! Mmmmmmm!!!!!! I had this in a department store cafeteria of all places, but sometimes the Universe surprises you and you get something special in a place or a way that you least expect it. And to top it off it was really reasonably priced so I was a happy woman!

 

Until next time...

Sanctuary - Silbury Hill

This is Silbury Hill in Wiltshire, England. I took this photo one day last year when I was visiting. It's a beautiful and serene spot. I felt such peace there. It was a wonderful place to be alone with my thoughts and relish being alive :-)
