Danf, I had not seen this before. Isn't she just a LOVELY young lady? You did her proud, she seems to fit in perfectly with this nostalgia concept :-)

Pebbled Shore

"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end,
Each changing place with that which goes before
In sequent toil all forwards do contend."

Nice shot!

the glass house

Hrmm, I'm gonna get pedantic here....

In architecture, the "glass house" refers specifically to a work of Philip Johnson's, a small pavilion house in Connecticut on his property that was all glass walls on all 4 sides. It refers moire generally to a style of modern house that sprang out of the Bauhaus movement, Mies van der Rohe etc, a style of house characterized by steel frames, flat roofs, and curtain-glass walls.

If you've seen the movie "Ferris Buehler's Day Off", you've seen a "glass house"; Ferris's buddy, the kid whose dad owns a Ferrari that they "borrow" for the day, lives in a glass house.

I suppose this is probably more information than you want, and the title is not affecting my scoring at all (just so you know), but in case you're interested in the min i-history lesson, you got it :-)

Oh, astonishing. I love the back story. Love the image. As an aside, I've photographed at LEAST 100 AIA award-winning buildings, maybe more, I never kept count...
