Local Life

This reminds me of Bottle Village in Simi Valley. An eccentric woman built a number of odd buildings on her property (to house her collections of, well, everything, dolls' heads, pencils . . .) out of bottles and cement. The ground there looks like this photo. It was declared a historic landmark after it was damaged in an earthquake. It's amazing (and wacky) to see!

How close do you live to the river ro the lake?

mosaics are my faves!

i like that alot. i was just about to ask if you made it, then read the caption!

This is really a great piece of art :) I miss you Lory!

I love seeing these mosaics around different places.....People are very creative and recycle broken things to make a beautiful design.....I love your photo it's a great closeup : )

A very beautiful mosaic.

I don't like mosaics. I had one for a project in 4th grade and never finished it. I brought home a D and got a whipping. Anyway, I never liked mosaics after that.

This reminds me of mosaics I've seen in Taos. There's a ton, except most of them are hidden in strange places like on steps or foundations of buildings.

I would love to see that landmark! I live about 3 miles from the Cheboygan River, and it flows directly into Lake Huron which is about 4 miles from my house. Cheboygan was built around the lake and river! We also have a zillion inland lakes near her too. If I stepped out my front door and faced any direction I would I'd be just a few miles from water. I hope you are having a good week! (:
