Casa de la Luna y el Sol


I saw this interesting house on Balboa Island in California. I'm posting these pictures today because they tie in with my subtle reflection photo for Weekend Reflections.

    this building makes it seem sunny out regardless of the weather.
    I love the sun and moon.

    I dunno if I would like my house that color to tell you the truth. You know the old saying it sticks out like a sore thumb. The photo is great. Hmmm and it ties into your WR. In wonder if it could be the far window up by the sun? Great photo :)

    In contrast to Thom, I like those colors...best on the outside, though, not for a living room/dining room. And the sun and moon are cool.

    Turquoise and blue, two of my favorites. Not the everyday colors to paint your house overhere though, it looks exotic!

    I like those blues! And I find funny the contrast with the grey buildings behind!

    Love the colors and the corner windows. A very strange house indeed. Now I'm curious about your next post...

    I love it! The color is so happy, and the sun and moon are great. I had a similar set in FL, which I left behind because, well, no where to hang them here.

    I see a pair of crosses as well. I felt like I should be finding more hidden objects in the picture!

    As soon as he saw the image and before «Louis» scrolled down, he thought "This must be California."

    I like those colors on someone else's house, but not mine!

    That's one thing I miss about living in California, the creative house colors. I think the gray house next door would like nice in sunny yellow.

    Love the composition you created with the sun, moon, bit of flower and all that rich blue. Lovely, painterly photo.

    Nice to see a bit of the island. Haven't been there in...20+ years. The colors are really striking.

    It reminds me of a garage-door, so one might wonder what kind of car the drive - solar-powered?

    I like the vibrant colours, though wouldn't work in all locations!

    Both photos are excellent...

    What a colorful, cheerful house! I've always loved sun and moon ornaments. But so many crosses.

    A small house looks big like universe.

    The space may really do such colors.

    This is excellent. People could have more decorations on the walls of their houses. They would have more of a identity.

    Once, I made a set of bed sheets with the sun and moon for my daughter, and she loved it. Then I found a giant cushion of the same pattern.

    What is this art called?

    Sun and moon depicts the 'continuity' in Sri Lanka! - i.e. nothing will happen to this place till the sun and moon is up there :)
