Kathy's Tower ~ A Folly

I love that word folly ~ I wish I could use it in everyday conversations. It's just a fun word to say. The photo above is called "Kathy's Tower" and I couldn't resist putting it in a post.

A folly is a building constructed strictly as a decoration, having none of the usual purposes of housing or sheltering associated with a conventional structure {according to Wikipedia}.

I love how you can just see the staircase to access it. With all those windows, and the french doors, you can probably see all around. I especially love the detail given to the different architectural elements ~ the railing, the roof, the cupola, the peaks on each corner and over the door.

What a lovely little getaway to read, nap, dream.
