The i360 is located where the entrance to the old West Pier used to be and there is a replica of that entrance above. Looking out the café and gift shop window one looks straight at the ruins of West Pier.

Sunlight
More Blinds
In this case, I was struck, not just by the contrast of the shadow and the light, but by the deep blue of the sky.
Afternoon Sunlight
Lee Crowd
Although we had timed tickets for a Monday morning, upon entering the Lee Miller exhibition we were met by a scrum just to get close enough to read the introductory text. This continued, annoyingly, throughout the otherwise excellent and well curated exhibition, breaking Miller’s career into 11 phases. As we wanted to see it all, it took 2½ hours, patiently waiting for other viewers to move on before we could stand, briefly, in front of each image.
Interior Space
As always, I was as taken by the interior design and architecture at the Tate Britain as I was by the art shown there. Of course, the grandeur (and symmetry) of these temples of art makes a strong statement of its own.
Morning Light
I love the shadows on the wall with bright sunlight slanting through the Venetian blinds.
Abramović
After the Royal Academy we found very few local galleries open on a Sunday afternoon, but Saatchi Yates was, and we say this Marina Abramović exhibition, somewhat hurriedly.

Bibliophiles
This is one of the ceilings in the main public library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. Remarkably for one who’s lived in NY for over 60 years, and whose birth was announced in the library’s employee newsletter, I’d never been inside before doing some research a week or so ago in the Division of Art, Prints and Photographs.
