Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.

Baby you’re a haunted house

[natalieina]

In her dark dreams, the cabinet of her mansion took on bizarre shapes. There were books on the table, keeping dark ancient knowledge about distant spaces, strange elixirs were stored in flasks, a candle smoked in an ancient lamp, as a reminder from past dreams... And only the drawing in a silver frame, created once by her hand, in ink on a pale sheet of paper, did not give her peace of mind. Such a vague and warm feeling arose somewhere in the depths, and memories from past lives, from distant childhood, illuminated by the scarlet evening light under the shade of old oaks and lindens, the walls of the estate, entwined with wild grapes, floated like moths before her eyes...

The Prague astronomical clock is a medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest clock still in operation.

The clock mechanism has three main components – the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.

I think sometimes the best films to watch during autumn and Halloween season are some of the classics; mainly because the black and white film format just adds another layer of eerie atmosphere. Case in point Rebecca from Alfred Hitchcock. This film is based on the novel by Daphne De Maurier which is about a young woman who meets widower Maxim De Winter; he they meet while he is on his first holiday after his wife’s tragic passing. Her employer knows of the late Rebecca De Winter and we get our first glimpse of this faceless and overpowering character that drives the story.

Our main character and Maxim wed soon after they meet she doesn’t want her leaving without him. She accepts and is delighted to see his home of Manderly; a manor just as imposing as the not forgotten Rebecca. No one holds onto Rebecca as much as the quiet and unsettling Mrs. Danvers, the housemaid for the late Mrs. De Winter. It’s amazing how everyone doesn’t look at the protagonist as more than just a minor inconvenience who stepped into this world and doesn’t belong. That’s how everything is played out at least and it makes you want to know just like the protagonist just what made Rebecca so captivating.

The film itself is stunning to look at. Another film that has this dreamlike haze; but being filmed in black and white makes it feel more nightmarish and gothic. The set design was so grand in scale which aids in making us and the protagonist feel intimidated by this life we’re thrown into. It’s no surprise seeing as the producer was David O’ Selznick from productions like Gone With The Wind. The cinematography is stunning with the silhouettes of the characters being illuminated by a well lit background and in some moments they focus the lighting on just the face of a character to show in moments of heightened emotion.

This film is worth checking out this autumn, if you love gothic atmosphere and films that feel like an eerie trip into another world, this would be for you.
