I love your perspective — thank you for sharing it. Slow traveling through Europe stops me in my tracks often.
I’ll find myself in places of staggering natural beauty, but staying in accommodations that are stripped down to the point of feeling… hollow. Not unbearable, just a strange absence I can’t quite name.
Reading your words helps me see it more clearly — it’s the missing detail, the lack of texture that leaves the space flat instead of alive.
The two lamposts speak to me. I often see this juxtaposition, where something ornate from an earlier age is set against something bluntly utilitarian from our own. I reflect that the designers of the latter would hardly get away with such blunt inhumanity were it not for the moderating presence of the older things nearby. Thank heavens for the older things, that's what I say! They remind us that humans are (much much) more than cogs in a big old money-making machine.
Articolo meraviglioso sull'importanza dei dettagli che creano pura arte visiva anche sui piccoli oggetti quotidiani e che rendono la vita più piacevole e gradevole,meno monotona a chi li usa. Oggi la ricerca del dettaglio è scomparsa e questo metodo porta alla scomparsa del vivere nel bello, anzi sembra che si faccia di tutto per tendere all'appiattimento dell'esistenza.
Yes, regretfully we have moved away from detail, which I have also taken photos of, mostly I think because it is unexpected anymore, so it is always a surprise when you find it! The ornate detail on the door latch and several of these other items are really cool!

I agree that in our quest to be able to produce more faster we lost a beautiful part of ourselves.
I so enjoyed this! Thank you!
Gorgeous newsletter. Thank you.

Wonderful piece of writing! Thank you!

Wonderful example pics. Beauty, Truth, and Goodness.
