This is what a southerly view looked like from Rockefeller Center in New York, upon my last visit there back in August 2011. More photos from that trip can be seen here.

Whilst taking the Seattle Underground Tour, we emerged briefly into an alley to find this neat example of eight-bit art. This was snapped back in February.

Towers of glass, steel and concrete are not the first things that come to mind when you say the word Paris.
And yet, tucked away in La Défense, is a pocket of futurism surrounded by a sea of history.

Spotted this wonderful piece of street art not far from the Centre Pompidou when I was in Paris a year ago. The title of this post refers to the sign on the door.

One year and one day ago, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam re-opened to the public after extensive renovations. It was also the last full day of my visit to that city … so what better time to join with thousands of Amsterdammers and tourists to have a look.
If you’re into modern and contemporary art, and you happen to be in Amsterdam, this is the place for you.
The Stedelijk is located on the south end of the Museumplein. The museum is easy to find because it’s near to pretty much every other major museum in the city … and also because of the distinctive exterior of the museum expansion.
Admission is covered by the Amsterdam museum card (Museumkaart) if you have one. Otherwise, check out their website for current admission rates.
Ticket stub from Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
