Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #104

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!
My husband and I went up North this past week for a day and a half, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Yes, you read that correctly, the magic number is twenty! Wow, that took a little getting used to, it certainly doesn't feel to me like it's been twenty years! But it's been a lot of fun, and is certainly worth celebrating. 

Anyway, Gentle Reader, I came back from this trip with a load of windows and doors, so you're in for a fun ride! This week we'll start at the very beginning - our hotel room in Tsfat. I have a hunch that this boutique hotel was once an apartment building, and that the "suites" were once small apartments. Ours was certainly big enough to be an apartment, with a kitchenette, living area, giant bedroom (perhaps once two?) and a lovely balcony. And so, with no further ado, here is our lovely balcony door :)
Isn't that so pretty? As always, feel free to click on the photo, if you'd like a closer view.

Skywatch - Agamon HaHula

Today, on an anniversary trip up North, my husband and I came across this lovely sky:
We rented bikes around Agamon HaHula, a bird watching nature reserve, admiring the thousands of migrating birds - it was amazing!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #103

Welcome to the latest installment of your favorite little meme!
This week I've found an interesting piece of architecture in Jerusalem, and for a change of pace, I even know its name: Beit Shmuel. Alas, I'm not sure how to describe the place - It's a theater (I've seen shows there), it's a reception hall (I've been to a wedding there), I know that there are art classes that one can take there, and according to the website, it's also a boutique hotel! So perhaps it could be called a cultural center? Hmm. 

Well, whatever her title, here she is, in some of her glory:

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #102

Here we are, back for your favorite little meme!
Today I present you with some teeny tiny architecture. There's a new pet shop in our little town, and among other small creatures, they sell birds. I love pets, but there's something about seeing birds in cages that just makes me sad - to me, the whole point of birds is that they can fly, free on the breeze, and seeing them caged up just doesn't seem right. There were a few cages of parakeets and the like, but this one little songbird really stood out to me as beautiful. What unique coloring! I've never seen anything like it. And I thought that her house was actually kind of cute - with a decorated "door," and a little overhang on the rooftop.




Still, if I bought her, I'd probably just let her go fly around free... so I guess it's a good thing that I walked away before I had much time to think about it :)

Skywatch - pink fluffy sunrise :)

Driving around this morning just before six, I found these fluffy pink clouds. I'm used to seeing similar ones at sunset, but I had never seen them at sunrise before. Here's to new experiences!

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #101

Here we are, back again for your favorite little meme!
Here's another drive-by shot that I got in Jerusalem, not far the Old City, that I posted last week. It's a little hard to see the detail, but I really like the intricate architecture here!
