Gargoyles and an uneasy sky
Well, of course I have to post the obligatory photo of Notre Dame’s gargoyles. Nice that I got an assist from the sky, though.

That one night in Paris
Summer sunsets in Paris are late – nearly 10:00 – so you’ve got to stay up late to see the city in full darkness.
But it’s worth it to get to see the urban landscape, decorated with people enjoying the mild summer night, in darkness.

Her Own Pace
I saw this scene from a bus window. It’s easy to tell that the woman exasperated by the little girl’s pace along the sidewalk. And it’s also clear that the little girl doesn’t care one bit: she’s quite comfortable with the way her day is unfolding.

Art Fan/Fan Art
You know, of course, that I like to look around the backs of things. And I also like to look up – ceilings are more interesting than maybe you’d think. This lovely ceiling-plus-skylight-plus-fan was inside an artist’s studio at Houston’s Silo at Sawyer Yards.

Alternating Current
And here we are in Houston, at a very cool art space called The Silos at Sawyer Yards; it’s an area of old warehouses and silos and etc. that have been repurposed as arts spaces. As it happened, our visit coincided with the monthly Second Saturday event, when studios are open, so we were able to look at art and visit with the artists.
The Silos are part of a larger arts area in Houston – you can read about that right here.
And, if you do have a reason to go to Houston, think about adding this to your itinerary. And if you don’t have a reason to go to Houston, a visit to to Sawyer Yards and all the adjacent artsy stuff is reason enough to plan a visit.
