A secret ballroom lies under this lake, with a statue of Neptune above it. It was built in the late 1800s by Whitaker Wright, a businessman. The roof of the ballroom is paned in translucent glass to let light filter through from the water above. Now owned by entrepreneur Gary Steele, it lies empty. (Source)
This is a tragedy. It needs to be used for something.
if you were praised for being smart as a child and now feel crippling sensations of inadequacy when you don’t instantly know how to do something perfectly clap your hands
My co-workers are exceptionally annoying today, wow. Next year, I’m taking the Tuesday off too, in order to recoup and cope and figure myself out before i have to interact with people saying vapid shit that’s even emptier than usual. Today I am sad and tired and lonely and don’t want to hear about what these people think of my lunch or what kickboxing feels like or someone actually saying ‘welcome back to the real world’
That’s been the worst. Welcome back to the real world where you are cold and alone and have no time for what you love and you just do useless meaningless busy work all day and largely do not matter! :D
Back to cheery blogging when I get back to my scanner, sorry.
D-Bro, a Japanese design brand, has created a unique set of mirrored cups called “Waltz” that gain their striking patterns and colors by reflecting them from the saucers they come with.
First, the cups, which are made from Hasami porcelain, are coated with palladium, a precious metal rarer than platinum and gold. The cups must be absolutely perfect, because any small distortion or bump will ruin the effect. Next, they are matched with saucers that have anamorphic designs (much like the artwork in our anamorphic mirror art post). These designs look distorted on the saucers but are transformed into more ordered forms by the mirrored cups.
