This beautiful little chapel reminded me of this.
Not as flamboyant or architecturally fabulous as others, it is still a real favorite in this area.

Winter hours​

Background​

The Brothers Grimm famous German fairy tale Hansel & Gretel is illustrated in the Witch's Hut. The Hut brings to life the story of the children of the poor woodcutter. Their lives changed forever after losing their way in the middle of a deep forest and finding a witch's hut built out of delicious gingerbread goodies and candies. The witch locks up Hansel, and his sister Gretel has to work for the witch. With guile the children overcome the witch's plan to eat them.

Since its opening in 1970, the Witch's Hut has been visited by thousands of people. It is also a favourite object for photographers and the site of the Fairy Tales Festival. It was a Centennial Project of the German Community of Manitoba and a gift to the children of the Province. Its dedication ceremony and official opening was in October 1970. The Hut was designed by the well known Manitoba architect Hans Peter Langes. It is round in shape and therefore not at all like the traditional gingerbread house. John Nelson did the actual masonry and handcrafted woodwork.

Merci Perlou. J'ignorais qu'il était un si grand sculpteur. Naturellement, je le reconnais pour ses oeuvres dans le cinéma francais....
Thank you Perlou. I was not aware he was such an accomplished sculptor. Of course, I knew about his career in French Cinema.....

I had forgotten about Andrew Wyeth so thanks for the lovely reminder. Years ago when I first saw his work this one really caught my attention, I thought it was so beautiful with the delicate rendering of the lace blowing in the wind. Looking at his art now, it reminds me of the years I lived in New England close to the sea which was especially beautiful to me. His artwork inspires many different feelings of a special place that has a quality of taking me back in time. Sunny days, standing by the ocean as a gentle wind blows.

I had a poster of this picture, Christinas World, many years ago. I saw myself in this woman. I love the colors, and the sky.
 
Nasir al-Mulk Mosque was constructed between 1876 and 1888, during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1785 to 1925. It has been dubbed the “Pink Mosque” due to the plethora of pink-colored tiles blanketing the ceiling. The best time to visit the mosque is in the early morning, when the sun reflects the stained glass patterns onto the floor.
