I like it.
In 2010, the House of Writers (HoW) first met in New Orleans, USA. Julia & Sandra travelled across the pond to meet Gita, Mike, Jared (with Isabelle & Sophie), Joe, Teresa, Michael and Shauna (with Kevin) This year we meet in Blowing Rock, USA, and hope to stimulate great writing in a rural idyll. OK, we'll still be bringing whisky...

Breakfast
Not at Tiffany's but at Stanley's. Piles of pancakes, strong coffee and grey marble topped tables. The cafe on the corner of Jackson Square has long tall windows, views of red painted building and scrollwork balcony out of one side; the other looking at the square with it's tarot card readers, people on a wheeled "walking tour, bobbing forwards and backwards to speed or slow.
Wood and glass and marble reflections; the height of the room making all the people stick to the lowest quartile of available space. Portions and proportions, we are not dwarfed by the space, New Orleans seems to be built on a more human scale, the ubiquitous skyscrapers away from this part of town.
I like it.

I loved the tall windows with the small looking couple near the rear of the photo. They held the sweetest gray light. Vast almost but never overpowering.
