TSC: The writing's on the wall

two clickable notes

by Agata Oleksiak

"Originally, this building, built in the early 1900s, was the home of Karl Jacob Svensk (1883-1968), situated in Kerava, Finland. During the Winter War 1939-1940, the family fled to evade bombs falling into the yard, but they didn’t have to move out permanently.
In 2015, more than 21 million people were forced to leave their homes in order to flee from conflicts. The pink house is a symbol of a bright future filled with hope; is a symbol us coming together as a community."

Oh my goodness, an entire house covered in crochet work ??? What a lot of time involved in that. What a wonderful find to capture Wierd. I think the handwriting on the wall with this picture is that someone has a lot of time on their hands. lol

edit: just read about the Artist: Agata Oleksiak ... now the pink crocheted house makes a lot of sense ... The Power of Women. Brilliant.

I'd have sworn this was the result of messing around in Photoshop, which just goes to prove how bizarre and wonderful the real world can be - lol! ;)

Very powerful shot when all is said and done! :)
