In The Window


This house is a wonderful sky blue color. But there is one thing that always makes me stop and ponder.

What IS that brown thing on the windowsill?

At first I thought he must have been the architect of the Golden Turd in Asakusa, but when I actually looked at “brownie” I saw that it is a piece of bamboo (the root section on the right, nodes visible to the left). People sometimes use bamboo as a kind of vase or container for ikebana, thus the hole in the center.

Môsô bamboo can be quite large. Just ask these kids.

A very nice house of an unusual color. Thanks to Tall Gary for solving the mystery.

as usual, great combination.
I like the formal composition of the first shot and the disorienting perspective in the other shot.

Molto brava :)

Thank you Tall Gary, you've solved the case! Now that you mention it, it does look like bamboo :)

And thanks to everyone else for the comments!
