Week 19: Good Things Inside
"This is a good prompt to think outside the box!"

Today was Doors Open day in my town, an opportunity to explore the heritage, arts, architecture and culture it has to offer. There were 20 different sites featured this year celebrating the past, present and future.

I went on two separate walking tours of the historic homes in the town core. There was a very interesting discussion on the various periods and styles. Little bits of local history that I did not know were brought to my attention and it has prompted me to learn more.

Next, I drove out to another historic farmhouse that was built in 1875 on the outskirts of town.



Here are some of the good things that I found inside this building...






There was an exhibit of works created by students of a local high school arts program. There is some fabulous young talent out there!

  7. Fantastic interpretation of this week's theme. Thanks for taking us along on part of the tour. The one painting with the lush green images reminds me a bit of Frida Kahlo's art -- except for the computer/TV screen!
