While visiting Southeast Asia, I was really taken with the incredibly ornate roofs on the more distinct and culturally important buildings. While the roofs were wonderfully patterned with contrasting shades of orange, red, green, and other colours, the gable ends almost always had these sculpted end pieces, all coated in gold. I was told that the characters depicted snakes, but to me they looked like single-horned antelopes, but who am I to know. In capturing this image, I really liked the backdrop of the wonderful cloud formation beyond; the roof looked so proud against that backdrop and yet had a sense of peace.

Hvar, Croatia. We visited this incredible city and island as part of an island hopping cruise through the Dalmatian coastline. Hvar is one special city with so much to do. Rustic yet preserved perfectly, it holds a vibe that makes you want to stay a lot longer than you have time for. The buildings and houses line the hilly coast of the island. So much character and history here alone. *Featured in High Quality Images* *Featured in The Group* *Featured in Grunge It Up* *Featured in Superbly Visual* *Featured in Art Universe* Image blended with textures from www.deviantart.com - free use stock: grunge_paper_textures and some of my own.
