Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #160

Welcome back to our fun little meme!

I haven't been online much (my deep apologies to last week's WWDD players for not having time to come and see what you posted until just now) - I celebrated my birthday last week, and then my parents came to visit from overseas, and well, it's just been a little bit busy :)

But last night we had a super fun, only-in-Israel moment, as my dad nicely put it: we were at a new restaurant, and as we were finishing our meal, an announcement was made that we were all invited to light Chanuka candles together. Although we had already lit candles at home, we joined the crowd that gathered around. Everyone sang together, and then they gave out free sufganiot (jelly doughnuts) to anyone who wanted :) What fun!

To all who are celebrating - Happy Chanuka! And to everyone else - Happy Holidays, whatever and wherever they may be!

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!

A new movie theater opened in Jerusalem about half a year ago. It's the newest branch of an Israeli chain called Cinema City, known for its spacious and super-comfy seats. It's also got a lovely disco floor:

And these gigantic disco-like chandeliers to boot!

Looking a bit closer, I realized that you can see smaller light fixtures dangling between all of those glass balls - this thing is really neat! Feel free to click on any of the photos, if you'd like a closer view.

My daughters and I didn't expect the shiny new bathrooms to blow us away. They're just so... pink!!

That's it for now :) Come to think of it, those doors would be perfect for Ruby Tuesday, is that still around? Yes, I just found it, here! Yay :)

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!

Here we are, back in Seattle, on my family's trip there this past summer. I didn't actually take many architectural photos in the city itself, but we did go to the amazing Chihuly museum, and I've found some in the pictures that I took there. For those of you who may not know, Dale Chihuly is an amazing glass artist. Saying amazing does not do him justice, revolutionary and mesmerizing is more the direction that I'm looking for. We were fortunate to see an exhibit of his in the Tower of David museum of Jerusalem many years ago, and that was our first exposure to his work. Turns out that he's Seattle based, and that he has a museum right next to the Space Needle! So in we went. I photographed a sample of almost everything, but I certainly can't post everything, so I'm limiting myself here to photos that also have some kind of windows or doors :) As always, feel free to click on the photos, if you'd like a closer view!

And of course, since we were right there, and this *is* Seattle...

If you're ever in Seattle - scratch that - if you're ever in Washington state :) and you're looking for something to do that you really truly cannot do anywhere else - check out the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum!

Welcome back to one of your favorite little memes :)

As we continue through my family's vacation this past summer, we now reach our very brief stint in Los Angeles, where we stopped in to say hi to two of my brothers. Most of our time was spent with them, and touring with the kids, but I did manage to grab a few architectural shots as well. As always, feel free to click on any and all of them, if you'd like a (much) closer view:

Here's a small shout out to my very youngest brother:

And of course, albeit from afar:

Welcome back to your favorite little meme!

Okay, here come just a few more photos from London before we're off to our next stop: Los Angeles! As always, feel free to click on any of the photos, if you'd like a closer view:

This one is really more appropriate for my funny signs blog, but I can't resist posting it here as well:

Those signs were everywhere, all around Buckingham Palace. At first we were shocked that they would make such a ridiculous mistake, and then it occurred to us that maybe it's a British phrase? Maybe like "take care of the grass?" I'm happy to hear any encouraging information on the subject :)
Now, where were we? Ah yes, these guys! 

 

While meanwhile, off to the far right, we found this guy, who seemed like he might be a more efficient guard:

Then off we were, through another park, headed back to Heathrow. All in all, a fantastic layover!
