When I first went to Japan in 1953 I was stunned at all of the houses and buildings without paint. They were all faded wood that end up gray in color. And they still are that way, although the newer homes are stucco and vinyl clad. I like your photo. The wood color on it reminds me of my grandfathers home in the mountains and back country of West Virginia.
I've decided to take the wood theme that you all pointed out, and run with it. Let's see what images I can obtain...
Photolicious: Welcome to my Villigen blog! Villigen is German speaking (Swiss-German to be accurate). There are many French words that are used even in these parts of CH, such as Poulet (chicken), Billett (ticket), Permis (license or permit, instead of Bewilligung), etc. I'll come by your blog soon...
Hi Z, I love your Switzerland photography, and I'm tagging you for 8 random things about yourself. Hope you'll participate. Instructions are at my Sunday post on Selma, Ala., Daily Photo.
RR: Thank you for thinking of me! Unfortunately, I've got too much on my plate right now and barely make my daily blog posts! I anticipate that things will calm down in November.
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322
