Friday Smile

Hello Smilers

I have a photo heavy post for Annie's Friday Smiles this week. I hope you will enjoy this little selection of  snaps taken at the Brick City Exhibition in Rozelle House, Rozelle Park, Ayr. They are scenes from round the world - all made from Lego.

South Africa, Green Point Lighthouse
& African Penguins on the beach

China & Hong Kong

New York, Macy's Day Parade

Edinburgh is my home town.

Edinburgh - a Georgian Tenement similar
 to the one I used to live in when I was young.

Edinburgh - the New Town
& the Forth Rail Bridge

Tossed three coins in this fountain but I've yet to go back!

Rome, Trevi Fountain

Two scenes from London, including the impressive St Pancras Railway Station.

Various London sites - Battersea Power Station -
complete with flying pig - telephone box,
Nelson's Column, and a very tiny replica of St Paul's Cathedral

London St Pancras International Rail Station - four photos because this model is so big!

Rozelle House is a lovely old mansion that that was gifted by the Hamilton family to the Royal Burgh of Ayr in 1968.

The House is now a major display venue with a varied programme of exhibitions, events and workshops. Sadly, little of its historic interior remains but there is still this beautifully ornate staircase. (The EM thinks it would be a fiddly paint job!)

And at the foot of those stairs the 'Draped Reclining Figure' by the sculptor Henry Moore, a three quarter size life size bronze.

And finally the funnies for today.

Anticipating Spring even though it's freezing out and we've had a sprinkling of snow this afternoon.


Have a great weekend and a very happy, smiley week to come.
