A couple more curves...

Couldn't resist some "travel photo" curves

 

As I have posted before, I love the works of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. A highlight of last year was visiting Barcelona, where many of his beautiful buildings can be seen. Above is the exterior of the Casa Battlio, and left and below are 2 shots from inside the main entertainment room.


The man had a thing about curves - there are very few straight lines in his buildings. On the roof there are all sorts of little chimney and ventilation shaft coverings - all of them rounded.



Two more shots of the exterior.

And finally, another ventilation cover, from the roof of the house 
called La Pedrera:

Beautiful Coffe Art Decorate Photos, Beautiful Coffe Art Pictures, Gallary

This method however is limited by the experience of the barista (coffee-making individual) and the professional quality of the espresso machine. A barista is like a “Gretzky” doing the same thing over and over again until he finally becomes an expert coffee/latte artist. Baristi all around the world are skillfully talented and creative coffee-making individuals who are the true creators of coffee art masterpieces. One thing you may not know about me is that I really like coffee. "While many agree that making a good cup of espresso coffee is an art within itself, 'coffee art', also known as 'latte art', refers to creative patterns made from the velvety milk foam skillfully poured into a rich crema-crowned espresso coffee.Feel free to share any stories or images of coffee art, your favorite coffee house, or even a recipe for the perfect cup of coffee.*

M&M Monday - OCD


One of the comment traits of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is the need to have items in straight rows or consistent groupings. I clearly am not OCD because when I offered this picture as a joking example to two of my moderately OCD friends, I received the following responses:

"The yellow are too high and completely out of square, have you considering using a straight edge to get them right?"

"When you enlarge the photo you can clearly see that there has been no effort to align the embossed M's on the individual candies."

Also I can now attest that cats are seldom OCD or at least Midnight is not because just after I took the picture above his paw snaked up from the dining room chair to this result.


"Before there was Prozac, we had purring cats."
