The first photo was quite startling. Now that I've been to the website it's clear that shaking us out of our ruts was the purpose of this interesting art. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the story and the beautiful abutilon photos. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138030898546469752.post-56119644120767452472008-01-22T00:29:00.000+01:002008-01-22T00:29:00.000+01:00It looked somewhat familiar, felt somewhat ominous...It looked somewhat familiar, felt somewhat ominous, yet the light ad on tom and the palm, of course, did not seem to fit.

A little bit about where you live, and about you too.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me I should take some pictures of Amsterdam sometimes and post them too. <BR/><BR/>We don't have such pretty plastic palm trees!

I was living in Germany and Sweden for some time, but after communism fell I decided to turn back :) <BR/>What bothered me most in those times, was communist brain washing everywhere, in every school and university you had to study marxism-leninism, you did not have passport in the drawer, you couldn't freely travel abroad - it was difficult to Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460827662984311538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138030898546469752.post-39779636695784790702008-01-19T17:46:00.000+01:002008-01-19T17:46:00.000+01:00And thanks for some of the history with a wink in ...And thanks for some of the history with a wink in your telling. It reminds us that change for change itself can be a trial with its' own difficulties!<BR/>I met several people who came from Poland during my time at the University and I will not forget one fellow who came with his wife and several other couples. At one point he told us 2 of the other couples and I think even his wife returned to Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291943650823889010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138030898546469752.post-36574270870853962282008-01-19T17:05:00.000+01:002008-01-19T17:05:00.000+01:00Hello Barbara - yes it makes you smile when you lo...Hello Barbara - yes it makes you smile when you look at it :)<BR/>Have a nice wekend too!Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460827662984311538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138030898546469752.post-8198056307813104842008-01-19T16:58:00.000+01:002008-01-19T16:58:00.000+01:00When I saw the picture with this palm tree, my fir...When I saw the picture with this palm tree, my first thought was "it cannot be possible that a palm tree is growing in this climate (the same we have) without beeing sheltered. And then I read the text, yours and the one on the link you gave. And I must say now, "well done, it is art with a smile" and I like it. Especially when knowing the story behind. Thank you for showing, Ewa. I have to ask Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062381754017907653noreply@blogger.com
