Culture is the collection of little things.
Culture is what sets your group apart from other groups, and I think this photo really showcases exactly that.
We too often fixate on the grand things like Notre Dame and forget that those great places were only possible because they came from a culture that celebrated craftsmanship in a million tiny ways. It was only possible because the people insisted on what I call “Art in the Everyday” - the idea that quality should reign over quantity, and you should surround yourself with beauty no matter your station in life.
Look at the quality in this image. From the birdhouse to the garden to the masonry to the carpentry. Even that small iron bracket that holds up the light.
Everything is a celebration of what mankind can achieve.
There’s a reason images like this really grab our attention. Celebrate your craftsmen every day. Invest in them so that they can be there when it’s time to build the next Grand Thing.

A fantasy illustration I’ve done recently, imagining if Baba Yaga huts were based on other species of birds! This one is a kiwi.

Found this lion king church birdhouse plane at an antiques mall in Colorado. Gone when I went back for a better picture.

Saw a very ornate birdhouse in a field today and was struck by the wildness of the concept. The history of birdhouses is hundreds of years old, at the very least.
Some are wood houses or clay pots or gourds or miniature mansions -- regardless of form, many birds are intelligent and can likely recognize the difference between natural and artificial structures.
How wonderful it is that so many humans across centuries decided to make homes for the express invitation of birds and for no other reason, and that for as many centuries birds saw these benevolent alien architectures and agreed to this mad contract.
