Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #57

Welcome back, everyone, to your favorite little meme!
It's the last day of 2012 - wowee! That sure was fast... I still remember when 2000 seemed impossibly far away. Do you?
Anyway, I understand that there's a lot of snowing going on around the world, but in our neck of the woods, things mostly look like this, and I just wanted to share:
Isn't that a most welcoming door?

Just a speedy skywatch post...

I've been taking sky photos for weeks now, and never have a chance to post them! So here you go, quick while I have a minute:

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #56

Welcome back to our little meme!
Here's a really cool set of windows that I found for you on my recent trip to Chicago! This house is being renovated, but apparently they're putting some kind of copper top on these two large, ground floor windows. I found the whole thing just fascinating!

I've definitely never seen anything like these before! I'm very curious to know whether the owners plan to let this copper go all-natural green, ala the Statue of Liberty, or to seal them with an enormous coat of clear nail polish to keep them shiny and bright :)

Macro Monday! From the fridge

Well, this is a little embarrassing. I chopped the top off of a vegetable a few weeks ago, and before tossing it out, decided that it was really interesting and photo worthy. But now, I'm not sure what it was! My hunch says daikon radish. Or was it perhaps the bottom of a kohlrabi?

One of those, I bet. I do still think that it's cool looking, though, whatever it is! Feel free to click on it, if you'd like an even closer view.

And for more close-up photography, check out Macro Monday, beautifully hosted at Lisa's Chaos. Have a great week, everyone!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #53

Here we are, ready for the latest installment of your favorite little meme - Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors!
This week we're back to Israeli architecture. I took a look around my small town and suddenly realized that I hadn't shared this one with you before:


Isn't it lovely? This is a synagogue not too far from my home. I really like it, I think it looks like a scroll! 

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see what you've found for us - have a wonderful week, everyone!
