  1. I think adobe houses are so beautiful. Built for their environment to stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Why don't we pay attention to that anymore?

    Beautiful words and pictures, Gemma.

  3. Beautiful and observant, Gemma. I've always wondered at how a home could rise from almost nothing, enabling its inhabitants to survive without hurting the environment. I love how, with your words, you've paid homage to the dwelling as well as the spirit and effort that was necessary to create it. Lovely.
