Up from the ashes

Since I've told you about the fire that destroyed most of my home town, I would also like to show you what came out of it:

This lovely house used to be a pharmacy well into the '80s and maybe longer, but is now an Art Nouveau museum:

This is Brosundet, now mostly hotels and apartments:

MoljÃƒÂ¥, the gateway to the harbour:

A view from the top of the mountain:

I had company while admiring the view:

Lovely buildings Droopy. The water in the Brosendut picture is like a mirror, very pretty.

I love the face carved into the stone. Is the picture after the face a home or office? I love the colors and how neat it looks.

I think part of that building is offices, and part is lived in. There are plenty of homes just as lovely, but I just had to make a selection out of the 70+ photos I snapped today.

Really wonderful architecture Droopy. So pleased your home town was rebuilt in such splendour.

Thank you all. The photos are deceptive, because the day was very fine. The winter sun brings warmth to the colours and makes them stand out more.

Oh How I loved these photos.
Like silence is golden.. So in the art in those photos.
The close ups of the doors is so special.

Your small town heros for sure.. Excellent workmanship and views... bali

Oh, this was a treat. I think I better start a travelling fund. I am getting the bug from seeing your photos Droopy. You do a wonderful job of pulling the viewer into the scene and have a way of capturing the big picture and the significant details that makes looking just plain fun. The fire must have been very frightening.
