Entering in the Picture

Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Standing Man (Uomo in Piedi) is one of his mirror paintings, allowing me to take this shot.

I Mean Me

After the Refik Anadol exhibit (last post) I exited through the gift shop where, once again, I found a gallery opportunity to photograph myself.

Magritte-Me

We were headed to the Magritte Museum and saw this window sign. Another example of me finding a mirror to photograph myself in at a museum.

Photo London

Once again, visiting photo galleries, I manage to find the mirrors and make a troublemaker of myself.

Beaney House of Art and Knowledge

Back in the High Street, we visited the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. While in America we tend to revere the Magna Carta (statues of them above) for expanding the rights of the people, in fact, the Barons were wresting power from the King with no regard for the ‘people,’ beyond their own right to exploit them.

Once again, I confronted a museum mirror, this one with a sign encouraging photography adjacent. What else could I do? Click any of the pictures to see them all big.

The Woman in the Window

I’m not sure what she was doing but it involved the mirror and I signaled to her to take her picture and she assented.

Keswick to Walla Crag

The next morning, after another hearty breakfast, a taxi took our bags onward to our hotel in Keswick and deposited us in the town center. From there we hiked up to Wall Crag, at an elevation of over 375 meters, for even more stunning views including of the Derwent Water.
