In fact when I saw that first photo I thought maybe it was the McMansion your neighbors are building! I love that second photo -- very dreamy, lots of layers. I hope you didn't leave your irony completely behind, though, because I love it so.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-90205770057379508782015-11-06T01:53:10.401-08:002015-11-06T01:53:10.401-08:00I'm with you on the building!

When I saw that picture, that dream floated up (I don't think I knew I had a recurring dream about an abandoned asylum like building before, but now I know that I have, many times.) I love it too. And maybe irony is an armor that keeps us from feeling everything, and thus seeing everything?Ramona Quimbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308882206677929003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-65839160056119447512015-11-05T18:47:18.968-08:002015-11-05T18:47:18.968-08:00I do not like that building.

I used to remember this quote from "The Ebony Tower" by heart (John Fowles): "All cynicism masks a failure to cope: an impotence in fact....when to despise all effort is the greatest effort of all."
