A New Page : Prompt Four

IMG_6815

Deep Within

Autumns Antics suggested in Prompt 4, "I would like to suggest that you try, like I have, to sway far, far from that thought process and focus this week's pages on other things deep within your heart."

For me, I chose P A S S I O N

Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.

Passion can be expressed as a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion towards a subject, idea, person, or object.

Tony Hornecker ~ The Pale Blue Door

I read about the The Pale Blue Door of Tony Hornecker.

The contemporary fairy tale restaurant ~

All the photos credit to Manuel Vazquez. He is such a talented photographer, see how he capture the restaurant lively.

Hornecker had being toying with the idea of designing a restaurant, and with his previous experience.

The British designer has taken his love for art, added some food, and opened a temporary pop-up restaurant -- made with scrap materials scavenged from the streets -- in one of Berlin's central community gardens.
