Colonizing beauty

in Picture A Day2 days ago

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but seeing how it used to play such an important role in the past simply bums me out when I see the lackadaisical way we treat object design nowadays. Here's a perfect example from a country I'm currently visiting. Why can't we have nice things like this?

Maybe some of the architect there in you country are already bored with the old design so they might go to something more simple. :)

Yes, North American and European architecture in general has undergone an evolution towards simple forms based on function and away from traditional forms of aesthetic beauty.

Did you know I love street lamps? I was delighted with this image, thank you!💗

I have taken a lot of such images of street lamps. They give this place a quaint ambience. More to come!

They fascinate me and I always take pictures of them! Yes, let there be more!
