Where I create, there I am true

Even at construction sites, the graffiti aficionados of Munich seem to only pick the best ideas for use in defacing temporary walls. Spotted back in September.

Strolling amid showers

Here’s a neat little below-grade shopping district in the heart of Rotterdam. This image was shot back on a very short visit there in September.

Garden of glass 2

Visiting Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle is like immersing one-self in an other-worldly experience. So many delicate pieces of glass art created in funky shapes and bathed in just the right kind and right amount of light … it’s almost magical.
Snapped these images back in November.

Scorpion's tale

Spotted this piece of public art in Phoenix, Arizona, last month, near all the sports stadiums. I never did figure out what all the little figures are actually trying to do with the giant scorpion …

Face of Fine Arts

Here’s one of the many faces staring down from the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Snapped on a stop-over visit last month.

All dressed up

Passing through San Francisco in a series of long layovers last month, I came upon the Ferry Building, all decked out in lights, presumably to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition.

Rembrandt's army

It seems the statue of Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn made himself a few friends since the last time I walked through this square in Amsterdam. This was how Rembrandt’s army looked on a soggy evening back in September.

Lichtgitter in Raum

This is what you get when you place your cellphone under suspended art — Lichtglitter in Raum by Heinz Mack, as presented at Amsterdam’s Stadelijk Museum back in September — and snap a photo.
