Di story behind di frame
Di Gloriette stretch across di hilltop, with im light-yellow front against di soft grey sky. Arches wey repeat one after another lead towards di glass-enclosed central hall. One eagle and globe sit for di top of di roof. From across di water, di building look like one long shape wey dem balance with care. Di green slope give di stonework space to stand out. Paths cross di grass, visitors gather for di terrace and small figures move near di pool. Di people make di size easier to understand and connect di orderly architecture to di normal rhythm of one day for di gardens. For di bottom of di picture, small ripples break di reflection into darker strips. Di water repeat di shape of di row of columns without making one perfect mirror. Di gentle light keep di colours close to di light stone and deep-green grass. Di photo follow these level layers from pool to hillside to sky.
