"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

The Nai Dee Sculptured Huts Part II – Tea Under The Rain Trees.


I've had just enough time...   to be captivated by rain trees and huts.


Anyone care for a cup of tea under the rain tree? Taken in the Naidee Sculptured Huts, Hua Hin

When I came across the main yard,  I involuntarily let out a “wow!” exclamation. For there before me is the dream outdoor dining area I will build if I had the money. But it is already built for me, to have a leisurely cup of tea under the giant rain tree. How did the architect build something so close to my dream without consulting me? Join me in wandering through the grounds.


 
 What a wonderful place to have a quiet meal with friends.

Even the main serving area is so tastefully done.

Don’t you just marvel at the architecture?

 
As the sun sets, the ambiance changes. A marvelous example of architecture complementing nature.

 
With the daylight still available, I went exploring. Saw this large building close to the dining area and decided to check that out.  

Like all the other buildings, this large functional building is also tastefully designed and constructed to blend in well with the surroundings. I wondered what it is for?

 
It is a living quarter for a group. It is not only well designed but also very practical and versatile. The hall is big enough to take at least a bus load.

This is such a charming public toilet. It shows that practicality does not have to come at the expense of style and beauty.

I wandered to the other side of the lotus pond to take this shot. The whole complex is very well thought out and planned. I’ve so many pictures that I will continue this on the next post to share with those of you who could not be there.

    I absolutely love their dining area, especially under the giant rain trees. What a serene place for a cup of tea and with a book in hand, it makes for a perfect evening. Oh, adds a little soft music and you can't do better. It is wonderful how they blend modern comfort, style with traditional architecture and a perfect blend with nature and the surrounding. I couldn't help but have deep admiration for the planner, designer, and constructor.

    Absolutely a lovely place!
    I appreciate the keen observation of a photographer who brilliantly captures this nice place and shares with others. I think the architect went through a 'mind to mind transmission' process with you and that helped him/her building your dreamy place! I hope you enjoyed your tea under rain trees!

    ★october blue added this photo to their favorites.
    Yes ...just to sit and enjoy a cup of tea in such an inviting place would be delightful ! The freshness of the open-air setting ...the play of light and shadow under the leaves of the rain trees ....the feeling of being in an osais of peace and harmony ...all of this would be 'food for the spirit ' as well . Whoever designed this was surely your kindred spirit ...and it seems poetic justice that destiny led you there ! Thanks so much for sharing :-)
