An Indian Summer: The art of shade

The art of shade

Something that caught my eye today...gorgeous metal pergolas from Parasoleil. I am fascinated with the interplay of sun and shade, and a pergola covered with a flower vine just calls me to come and stand underneath...or better, sit and spend some time there!
These images remind me of Robyn, who always brings lovely sun drenched images of gardens to us on her blog...

And, a pergola can be magical in the night too...

Al final creo que las culturas no están tan lejos unas de otras y cuando tratas de llegar a lo profundo se encuentras muchas similitudes, en este caso estéticas.; March 8, 2008 at 9:52 PM
