A certain some place...

in #monochromemonday8 years ago (edited)

You know how when you visit some places, a certain something triggers and in your memory, it sits and dwells... and lasts.... So you may retrieve it any time in future... That certain some place that brings on certain memories, or feelings. And you'll feel that certain something again...

These are a couple of places which I felt that way about. So, in keeping with the theme, I thought a vintage feel would work well for these shots.

I caught these shots at the Taman Ujung Water Palace of Bali
It is a lovely breezy place with lots of trees and even some tall pines
A pair of bridges with tall white stone arches connect the main building in the middle of the central pool
Built by the late raja of Karangasem, the complex suffered near destruction a number of times by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung and an earthquake in 1979.
All the walls of the main building and the arches carry embossed floral designs, while the architecture itself is said to be of Balinese and European design

What amazing detail is craved on those arches! I'd love to see more shots from here.

Every one of our senses certainly does have a memory, good or bad, that it some what connects to in our past.

A picture, a smell, a feel....and the trigger returns us to yesteryear!
