Day Twelve: Architecture and Monochrome

Ok, so I’ve been off the radar since last week and I may or may not catch up on the assignments.  Only time will tell. Perhaps I’ll bombard The Commons with six posts tomorrow.

For today’s assignment we have to consider the beauty and complexity of architecture, and explore the drama in black and white, or monochrome.

The first photo is of a beautiful Edwardian villa in Kalk Bay, a classic colonial style. It’s been a guesthouse since about 1917.

The shadows cast by the buildings along the narrow streets of the Bairro Alto in Lisbon at night lend them a monochromatic cast. Sounds are muffled creating invisible walls as one walks through the streets at night.
