A beautiful piece of ART!
A rose by any name…
It's beautiful!
Definitely a work of art.
Interesting detail, almost looks like lace.
I have a whole week of your photo's to catch up on.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, ... Never heard the term before.
Hi!
Yep, looks like gingerbread! Very pretty! Have a great day!

I agree - a beautiful piece of art.
You always know how to get the shot just right - I do admire that.
I guess we call it gingerbread here but whatever it is called it is beautiful on a house or even an old barn. You have a way that makes a shot interesting. MB
I'm with Hilda--A rose by any other name... Lovely.
We call it gingerbread here. Never heard of the other term. , , until now. Heard of gingerbread in fairy tales. . . and I don't mean gingerbread man.
Very nice shot - love the details!!

Funny name! This is reminiscent of Eastern Europe wooden architecture, at least I think it is. I'm not too sure anymore. Whatever, it's gorgeous and I would love to come home to it every day!
Well, that's very nice, but where in the world did the term "bargeboard" come from?
Whatever it's called ... this is LOVELY ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Gingerbread for sure. It is a lovely shot.
It is like 4 different styles of roofing in a one small place - nice details!
Wonderful detail!

Jacob,
Wikipedia says: Bargeboard (probably from Medieval Latin bargus, or barcus, a scaffold. ;-)
Thanks, E.G. I didn't mean to give you more work...thought you might know. I'd never heard the term before...which really doesn't mean anything...but...
Have a great day!
This is an interesting mix with the bricks, wood work and asphalt tiles. The wood work is lovely.
What pretty details!
What a nice picture of the girls reflecting in the water !
I'd prefer 'Ginger Bread'... I have made some like these when I worked in a joiners shop.... it was one of the many things that we made I can see each time I visit the town centre... I still get pleasure 25 years on looking up and thinking I had a part in making them...

My blogs today show World In Miniature No.2 and our Granddaughter CaraJade
I had never heard bargeboard, either, but either way it is lovely. Though any time I see work like this, I think about how much work goes into painting it alone.
I love that design!
