Art Nouveau is a style that has always attracted me. I'm not sure how old the gates on this shopping development in Evesham are but they're certainly not late-nineteenth/early-twentieth century. However they are firmly in the tradition of organic design set down in that period and a positive addition to the otherwise uninspiring clone-town architecture.

That grapevine winding its way around is - well, it's lovely, that's what it is. Grapevine grows wild around here and it's the most beautiful stuff in leaf or out of leaf, with its delicate spiralling tendrils. I'm a huge fan of grapevine, have it wound around many things both inside and out. Mind you, I've got an ivy fetish too. Ivy on crumbling bricks walls? With maybe a rusty gate hinge? Bliss.
But they have such cute pink feet. Just grow extra grapevine.
I'm on the case, Bluesmama.
Lee. I've not been in any in Melbourne but the Westfield Bondi Junction ia a shopping centre to die for or die in, depending on gender.
Cute pink feet? Not from where I'm sitting.
Art Nouveau is such a grand mix of sensual curves and organic design and wonderful colors! I think many people see it as overdone, but I suspect we are just too used to being straight and mechanical.
