You know sometimes how you go to an unfamiliar city and feel right at home? Like you could live there? I didn’t feel that way here, but I did get to see this bridge, which my blogging pal over at El Bueno El Feo y El Malo will likely recognize as a design by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.

Well, it’s been an exhausting couple of days, hasn’t it, with all my yammering on about architecture, and design elements, and building materials, and etc.?
A change of pace is in order, and here it is: a feather.

A wall, a window, and some other stuff. (Again, my inattention in architectural history is apparent. Maybe it would sound better if I said “some other elements”?)

Out here in West Texas, we think something’s old if it’s, say, more than forty years old.*
Other parts of the world use a slightly different scale to gauge what’s “old.” This place was built in the 17th Century; it’s called Lodge Park. The photo is a detail of some architectural elements on the second floor balcony. (If only I’d paid more attention to architectural history, I could tell you what they are called. I think of them as “those flute-y deals” but I am almost positive that’s not the actual, correct name.)

* Hey, wait a minute! I just called myself old. I wonder if I meant to do that?
