Happy Friday + Cake Toppers

I am signing off for the weekend but before I go I wish you all a wonderful time with your friends and family. It's my last weekend in India and I'll try to make the most of it. My heart hurts with the thought of leaving my home, my family and friends behind, again. But I cheer myself up with the hope that I'll soon be coming back to everything I cherish and am proud of. This weekend is going to be a busy one and I am nervous about the coming week. I have the whole house to pack, thank God I have friends who have taken a couple days off to give a hand with the packing. Thanks for listening. It feels great to know that you are there with me everyday. Take care of yourself and have a great weekend!

{On The Rooftop}

This owl structure can still be found on the roof top of the Rotulos Roura Company building in Barcelona. It was an advert for a neon lighting company and used to be illuminated, but not any more. I find this image striking and the photographer has done an amazing job in capturing the great colors.
