Thank you, Pam. It was such fun to explore this new area of the city. Too bad they’ve found structural problems already and had to close it for the time being! Hopefully, it’s not too dire and will reopen soon…it’s such a cool concept.

Fantastic, Jane! Building Patterns II is gorgeous….Love the first two…The museum people posed for you! Love Umbrella Underbelly especially – that one is brilliant, you saw it (because you’re awake!!) and you composed the photo so well. We’re going to LA in October; would like your input. Not our first trip. We’ll see the Getty – haven’t been there – and possibly a day trip to the Channel Islands. And/or maybe the other direction, a place called Bluff Lake up by Big Bear Lake (San Bernardino Mts). Just throwing ideas around now. Canter’s Deli, need to go there too. 😉

A truly entertaining series of photographs, Jane. I especially like the Museum People and Contemplating “The Son of Man,” really refreshing looks at our species. Also liked the baskets of cherry tomatoes, beautiful in itself, then reading the title and receiving the gift of the white tomato. Enjoyed the art and whimsy here.

Given that Magritte was born in 1898, I’m accustomed to thinking of his work as belonging to the Dadaist school and the early Surrealists. To my surprise, I found out that “The Son of Man” dates from 1964, just three years before Magritte’s death. Here’s more about that painting:
