  • In Bull Run Park, Virginia, scene into overgrown green woods, fronted by a sharply curved trunk of a dead tree as the central feature.

  • Green cloister of Sta Maria Novella, considered an extraordinary example of Italian Gothic architecture, begun around 1340 by Fra' Sisto and Fra' Ristoro. I like cloisters because they slow life down to make contemplation easier. Under the arcade is a series of frescoes by Paolo Uccello showing the Creation and the story of Noah, dated 1424.

  • Oman, mud brick village of Al Hamra, largely abandoned.  Though some structures still endure, no restoration seems to be attempted.  An exception is the mosque with its vestigial "pillbox" minaret, carefully maintained. Minaret and doorframe are carefully and freshly painted in green, the Islamic holy color.

  • Detail of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, by Paolo Uccello, 1424, with color correction to bring out detail.  The fresco, in the Green Cloister of Santa Maria Novella, was badly damaged in the flood of 1966.  Even so the concept of   the serpent in the Garden of Eden as an attractive blonde woman has great appeal to me.

  • In the village of Brent Eleigh, the church of St. Mary's is a perfect example of the village church.  The chancel window is Victorian Gothic, but the church interior has been revealed to have late 14th century wall paintings of St. John, the Virgin Mary, the Harrowing of Hell, and other subjects.  For known history, see http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/brent.html.  This photo was made on a cloudy grey winter day, but the grass is bright green against the warm yellowish and reddish colored stone from which the church was built..
