Addicted to Route 66 (Weekend Reflections # 140)

Williams, Arizona (Route 66)

There is a lot of history and interesting things to see on Route 66. I'm sure it has changed quite a bit from its glory days, but I have a good imagination, so I was able to go back in time and really enjoy the ride.
I took this photo in Williams, Arizona. I was surprised by the amount of French tourists. I finally spoke to one of them. He was from Paris and he told me that Route 66 is "mythique" to the French. Thankfully, most of the conversation was in English because my French is very limited. :0)

African Nouveau (Weekend Reflections # 139)

 I saw these Ceramic Sculpture reflections in the window of an art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

 Woodrow Nash: "African Nouveau is the term I use to describe my present body of work. It’s specifically African and European in influence.  The images are African in general with the graceful, slender proportions and long undulating lines of 18th century Art Nouveau.  The concept is 15th century Benin, a former kingdom in Africa flourishing from the 14th - 17th century.  Both styles were often asymmetrical, using decorative shapes and ornamental motifs derived from natural forms.  The two styles lend themselves well to each other.   Hence the term “African Nouveau”. 

 Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Dividing Lines (Weekend Reflections # 138)

(I'm still on a blogging break but I might be able to stop by and say hello every once in awhile until things get back to normal in June. All is well. I'm just moving again.)

 I think the reflections on the left are on marble and the middle and right are on glass.
