Picture Poem: Palm Balm When the Rainbow is Enough

Picture Poem: Palm Balm When the Rainbow is Enough

Hollywood magic after the rain…looks like a stage set…appropriate

Sunset over Wilshire, Santa Monica

From a greater distance…the clouds are lighting up, it’s showtime

At an earlier moment in time…under a cloud-swept sky

Long-flowing cloud stretches over palms standing out against the sky in stark relief, silhouetted by the brilliant sun

Palms frame the main attraction, a tree’s filigree network of leaves and branches set off by the backdrop of sunset-painted sky

Poised…so many Palms…so much dignity

Drifting off into the clouds..the other side of Wilshire! (Santa Monica, CA)

Heading East up Wilshire after a rainstorm…and seeing the magic of light impacting water

Double Vision

Double Vision…stretching all the way across…such a privilege to witness this splendor

Seeing Red…Santa Monica

Surreal, and quintessentially Los Angeles

 

Santa Monica’s Magical Style: Convex, Concave and Curvilinear

Santa Monica’s Magical Style: Convex, Concave and Curvilinear

By turns magical, moving, and magnificent, Santa Monica exemplifies the outsized and over the top sensibility Los Angeles is known for. However, this beach town also holds quiet gems often discovered by happenstance.  Join me for a magical, mufti-faceted look at the ebb and flow of this “home of the California beach lifestyle”.

Organic meets geometric, creating magic in concrete forms.

A magical curvilinear wall of stones stands in front of Santa Monica’s Yahoo Center.

An over-sized exterior sculpture bubbles out from the side of a building, adding a bit of magic to the urban landscape.

A flowing window grate creates artful protection, as well as magical  beauty.

The Zebra car plugs in…stay tuned for another post devoted to this magical car.

Madame Chou Chou  bistro and patisserie on Main Street, offers spiral magic with its cutlery, as if the delightful patisseries weren’t enough!

What magical convex, concave and curvilinear sights have You seen lately?

Wishing You a magical holiday filled with a heightened awareness of the extraordinary all around us.
