A bit contrasty, would you say? Too contrasty? Well, as we used to defend ourselves in art school: I wanted it that way.

Last summer Flying Lady and I went to a restaurant on Pinehurst, a street I'd neither been on nor heard of. It was enchanting, a leafy secluded street away from traffic and other rude city noise and disruption. This happened before I started this blog and I've been looking forward to going back. Well, call me cranky, but this day I didn't see any enchantment at all. This architecture isn't at its best in the cold light of a late dragging winter. I'll come back later when it's more green and I'm in a better mood.

And by the way, the restaurant has closed.
