Now THAT is surreal! I hope the green poles are just another art installation in a public space? At any rate, the renaissance painting is so incongruous that it looks like it was meant to be there - and you framed it nicely!

Thanks, Bob. The knitting needles may have a structural function, but I think mainly they're intended to brighten up and lighten up the building. Different architects to the Sharp Centre, where the knitting needles are structural.

This photo shows the knitting needles don't seem to have any structural function:

The needles frame the picture in the background very well. And , as you said, they bring some colour to the picture. And the walking people are bringing some life in it. A great composition ! Good Morning, John !

Thanks, Ulrich, and a good afternoon to you.

Your admirable eyes have seen the the special!

Thank you very much, Gisela.

well seen!

Thanks, Gabi.

Well seen and taken, John. A very unusual conjunction indeed.

Thanks, George.

Thank you for giving me something to smile at 6:20am. You are taking the art of whimsy to new heights.

Thanks, Sarah. I think it's a pretty good idea. This building needed a good shot of whimsy. There's a link in one of my replies to Bob showing the upper storeys.

Épatant !

Thans, Jose.

I really like that stunning green colour............and they brighten up the area considerably. I like the way you've framed the painting too.

Thanks, Keith. As I mentioned to Sarah, this building needed a touch of whimsy. There's a link to a photo of the upper storeys in one of my replies to rdhinmn.

Well seen and a great capture!! The person who put that portrait there is a genius!!!

Thanks, Cheryl. I'll try to remember to go down there again and check the portrait out from a little closer up.

Brobdingnagian grass in need of mowing!

The landscaper's probably waiting for a part, dC.

Well seen and taken. Stunning needles! Great framing of the painting.

Thanks, Rainer.

Et tous ces gens qui passent, indifférents !

Most people these days seem to think nothing is as interesting as their phones, j-p.

She looks very much at home!
