Knight of the Work,
donated this villa and its park to the local council

and the garden open to the public.

so beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautifully impressive. And it is wonderful that this building was made accessible to the public!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Ocala DP: This is one of our ubiquitous Walmarts, the store that destroyed small-town America, sells lots of junk, and treats its employees like crap!
I love the detailing.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of the family to donate it all---and a park too. MB
It appears that it's all done in paint. That's even more amazing. I thought they were 3D at first. Beautiful post.

ReplyDeleteI love your blog for so many reasons. First, the grand photos. Second, the thoughtful text. Third, your photos say so much about your city. They are artistic yet informative at the same time.
