@ Beacon of Glass Lights “Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Fergus to Cutsiebebe. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” Beacon of Glass Lights Do we underestimate the role that colour plays in architecture? Most buildings are neutral in colour and designed to blend in with other equally colourless structures. A design which doesn’t fit in with this standard is very refreshing and lifts the spirits! The coloured glass panels of this facade create an amazing and unique design.

@ Cobble Wobble “Isn't this amazing, Fergus?” Saphira said, awestruck. “Yes, you wonder how the architect thought of it!” replied Fergus. Cobble Wobble Paving with cobblestones, or setts as here, which are regularly sized, flatter cobbles, allows a road to be heavily used all year long. There is the added advantage of immediately draining water, and not getting muddy in wet weather or dusty in dry weather. Shod horses are also able to get better traction on stone cobbles or setts than tarmac or asphalt. The fact that carriage wheels, horse hooves and even modern automobiles make a lot of noise when rolling over cobblestone paving has the paradoxical advantage of warning pedestrians of their approach. In England in former times, the custom was to spread straw over the cobbles outside the house of a sick or dying person to dampen the sound of carriage wheels going over them.

@ Elevated Entrance “Let’s pose with one of us each side of this attraction and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Fergus to Tundra. “It’ll be a fab souvenir of our time here!” Elevated Entrance This old-fashioned exterior exudes charm! Steps are not merely the entrance to our houses. In warm, sunny weather we sit on them, watching the world go by, chatting with neighbours, or simply sipping a cold, iced drink. Front steps are the first welcome that guests receive to our house. They need to be sturdy and in good condition, but they don't have to be boring! They should be just as attractive as the rest of our home's exterior. But the aesthetics of front steps are often overlooked by homeowners, possibly because they're so functional.
