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”

Wednesday Wandering…
It’s Wednesday again. This is usually the time of the week when I go on a Wander. However, this week I’ve not had the chance to do my usual hunt for photos and research, despite (or perhaps because of) being out for a wander yesterday. My Wednesday Wander posts take a bit of work. IContinue reading “Wednesday Wandering…”
Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming
It’s a short Wednesday Wander this week. The sickness bug has returned and taken over the entire household, all of us wandering around miserably, wishing it would go away. We live inland now, quite far from the ocean, and I do notice the difference in that things seem to linger, no fresh breezes or saltContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming”
Wednesday Wander – Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Hello, everyone. I’ve been on a few wanders of late, most recently a trip up to Scotland for a Silent Eye weekend, a trip I’m still processing before writing it up on here. 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”
Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle
This week I’m wandering to the Pacific Northwest, and one of the most recognisable landmarks in that area. This is the Seattle Space Needle. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, the Needle was designed to withstand strong earthquakes and winds of up to 200mph, though I wouldn’t like to be up there duringContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle”
Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle: Part II
Last week I wandered to the EMP Museum in Seattle, a Frank O. Gehry architectural masterpiece. My post featured images of the exterior – however, several commenters expressed an interest in what lay inside, so I thought this week I’d wander through the doors and share some photographs of the interior. This was a giantContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle: Part II”
Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle, USA
The EMP Museum in Seattle, Washington was designed by renowned architect Frank O. Gehry and is a wonderful example of his singular design style. Wrapped in undulating metal panels, the colours and shapes were inspired by electric guitars, which Gehry took apart and reassembled as part of the initial design process. Every angle of theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle, USA”
Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle
It’s time for my Wednesday Wander and this week it’s to Pike Place Market in Seattle. I took this photo in the early evening, just after we arrived. The rain had cleared and our hotel was only a few blocks from the market, so we wandered down in search of dinner. As it was late,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle”
Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things
I’ve just come back from holidays. Oh, very nice, you might say – and you’d be right 🙂 At the same time, it was a busy couple of weeks. No sitting around on beaches – instead we had a planes-trains-and-automobiles type trip starting in Vancouver, Canada and ending in Cambria, California, taking in the sightsContinue reading “Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things”
