Veronese Patterns and Textures

Veronese Patterns and Textures, originally uploaded by fotofacade.

As much as the door handles in Verona, I was overwhelmed by the textures and patterns layered up within the warp and weft of this beautiful city.

Here's a few that caught my attention.

The Beauty Is In The Detail

Check out these pics I took of the door handles of Verona - a bity geeky?

If you are interested in architecture at all it's worth while picking up on some of the different themes of a locality and recording them. When I was in Verona last week I noticed quite a few striking door handles which represent the full gamut of architectural and stylistic history from medieval designs through to Georgian and Contemporary design.

Click on the pics to get through to the descriptions and see some comments made on them.

Shippon

Up to Cheesden Pasture Mill yesterday for the first time. It lies north of the Edenfield Road and you have to get over a high stile into the field to be on your way. I just about made it after falling over the stile and almost losing all my camera equipment. It was worth all the effort though, because the site still shows the remains of the mill and lodge which started its life in around 1810 and finished in the 1890's.

Now within the lumps and bumps is another vernacular curiosity. Built of concrete (I would say post war) a shippon lies to the southern end of where the mill was. I loved it - almost cathedral like in its form with its nave like arches spreading upwards to shroud the sheep in warmth and solitude. To the exterior its bitumined hide which reminds me of the upside down boat cabins on Holy Island (photo courtesy of p smithson).

You can see all the mills on my archi-map of the Cheesden Valley
