It’s a season of political campaigns in the States, so the word “crooked” seems to pop up at every turn. It’s tiring, to say the least, so let’s turn this beast around. Today’s post is brought to you by the word “crooked,” as seen through the eyes of European town squares.
Spitzhausen (from the 1400’s): A gloriously crooked house in Bernkastel-Kues leans in toward the street.
Bernkastel-Kues, on the Mosel River. Crooked floors in a half-timber house.Old Town Square, Prague
Colmar, France. Crooked streets where everything leans in–and it only adds to the beauty.
Misaligned photo of that crooked Leaning Tower of Pisa. And somehow my husband’s head has been obscured by my daughter’s raincoat. Nothing lined up right here!
I love getting your latest posts to my inbox. These photos reminded me of the Burrow from Harry Potter- not exactly mismatched and pieced together, but real life crooked houses 🙂
