Mirror Mirrored #ralphcourtgardens 11

It feels like a piece of Sicily. It’s the sunshine combined with the curvy roof tiles. The mirrored windows are a beautiful effect. At any time you could visualise a senorita flinging them open to let some air in, hang up some washing or let a lasagne cool on the windowsill. But then you’ve got to ask what have they got to look out of? Hopefully it’s a see-through mirror. The fountain is beautifully shaped, but you’ve got to wonder where that water comes from and how it’s used in the villas behind. And is the emblem on the stone in front a real practical rope, or is it part of the architecture? The grass looks perfectly cut, but there’s an out-of-place rose in the right-hand corner that looks like the shuttlebug from Red Dwarf. It’s certainly an alien enough picture as you wouldn’t find this view practical anywhere, especially when there’s a hanging basket look-alike just above it.
