The Louvre & Louis Vuitton

One of my favourite buildings in Paris is of course Musee du Louvre. The majesty of this building is quite breathtaking. I love the symmetry, the sense of calm that emerges from its design.

 

The way the light plays on the various grey colouring of the building is magical. So I was thrilled to come across the latest Louis Vuitton add campaign featuring the Louvre. Take a look, it's fabulous.

 

Sunday is a great day for visiting museums, I hope you can find the time.

Have a lovely weekend.

Remembrance day..

Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the armitice which ended the First World War.In small country towns and our cities many people mark the occasion with a service, a visit to a loved ones grave site, or like me just a special thought to all those who died to make our world a better place full of hope and freedom.

The poppy has become the icon of Remembrance Day. A flower so sublime yet evoking such emotion.

Its beauty is in the very essence of its simplicity.

I thought that I would leave you with these images.

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

between the crosses row by row...

We will not forget.

First past the post....

All the talk in the West Australian news this week has been centered around winning. The "race that stops a nation" was on Tuesday, The Melbourne Cup. There were some lucky winners, those clever enough to back Irish horses. Then there was the "hundred million lotto draw", again only a few lucky winners, four to be exact, each taking home about 27 million.
And finally the American Presidential election race, not too sure if there were any winners there. The ecomomy is in rapid decline unless the parties can come together and bring about real change.
You're probably wondering where is she going with all this? Well, if I won the big jackpot, as some did this week, I'd spend my money on a little bit of paradise in the Hamptons (houses are rather cheap at present) and fly all my friends over to vacation with me each year.

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend, dream big and maybe you'll be a winner!
