Places with Soul

Art for the Soul.

The brilliant aura of such architectural art masterpieces seeps into one’s soul in such a permanent way that nothing can dull the lustre. EVER.

So “Surround yourself with beauty” is a mantra that works forever. Not just in terms of decorative artworks but also in terms of the people we meet and the places we visit.

Soul. Timelessness. Calm. Stillness. Awe. Wonder. Satiation. All of these can be felt instantly in such places, no matter how immune one is to the idea of art.

Here are a few of the places that I’ve absorbed into my soul, my being…
