Another week, and another Wander revisited. This time we’re heading to Spain, and to one of the most extraordinary buildings I’ve ever seen. I visited back in 2017, on a wonderful trip that took in two GOT filming locations, some spectacular beaches, beautiful coastal towns and a salad we enjoyed so much that we stillContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao”

The Magnificent Art of Roman Mosaic
I’ve always loved mosaics. From jewellery set with tiny pieces of glass to sprawling floors, I’m fascinated by the alchemy of creating pictures from pieces of coloured stone. Years ago I even took several workshops on how to create my own mosaics, working in both the regular and reverse transfer processes. I ended up makingContinue reading “The Magnificent Art of Roman Mosaic”
Thursday Doors – Statue of Liberty Pedestal
Following on from yesterday’s Wander to the Statue of Liberty, here is one of the pedestal doors. Each door is different, with relief panels depicting components of the statue. They’re also huge!

So this week I’ve decided to wander to a place I visited a few weeks earlier – the spectacular Guggenheim Museum inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao”
Thursday Doors – Museum of Traditional Architecture, Dubai
This door is part of the Museum of Traditional Architecture in Dubai. I wrote about our visit to the museum previously, as one of my Wednesday Wanders, but didn’t include this photo. The Museum was originally a royal palace, now restored and preserved as an example of the traditional architecture of Dubai, before steel andContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Museum of Traditional Architecture, Dubai”
