Cities of our Dreams.

 

Cities we walked in, houses and squares that hold our memories, rivers, lakes, and stones. Memories and dreams coalesce to form pure, simple shapes of our imaginary cities. Palaces and taverns, temples, warehouses, cobblestone alleys, crooked roofs all recognizable even to strangers. When approaching it from afar, this city of our dreams, and if the light is right, our eyes delight in slightly bent, unruly huts, and in jokes of historical accidents written in architecture playfully disrupting the perfect orderly lines of city planner's pedantry. Water, stone and sky.
