Contrasts with Muscat 5 - # 31/2011
The late Victorian Terrace.......there are millions of houses in streets like this all over England. The remarkable thing (for me, at least) is the attention to pretty details. In one sense the rows and rows of little boxes all close together are a bit scary, but look at the pretty details. "Elegant Living" for the masses, decency and church on Sundays: imperial confidence.
Yes the detail is pretty - but what a pity about all those tv antenna - I would never tire of this view.

J'aime bien aussi cette enfilade de verticales rythmées bien prise sur le coté. Et tous les détails : les antennes et sans doute les nains de jardin, j'imagine les conversations par dessus la haie comme dans le film "Brassed Off" ou celui sur les stripteasers amateurs, "The Full monty"...
ReplyDeleteI used to live in a Victorian terrace, they are deceptively spacious and I loved the square front room!
ReplyDeleteHave always loved the Victorian terraces. This is a lovely shot. Really like the angle from which you've taken it.
