I was intrigued by Brad Patterson’s blog challenge – compare and contrast two pictures. Even though I shouldn’t be ?wasting time on this, my two pictures (excuse the poor quality of the first) are

Questions?
a what is similar about these two pictures? What is different?
b what is, or should be the function of things like this?
c where do you think they are and who did therm?
d what do you think of them?
(And here are some other people who’ve had a go at the same idea (er, thanks – maybe – Brad for causing me to get totally distracted from work…..). I’m sure I haven’t found everyone who’s done it, so if I misssed you out sorry…..
Haha… glad to aid you in your procrastination, Jeremy.
Esas fotitos vengano del DF ? Architecture reminds me of the spot where Diego Rivera did some AMAZING murals. What is the function of art ? Wonderful question… and the question is the answer is it not ?
You are half right!
better than being half wrong

And as for the function of art, I think Octavio Paz put it better than I ever could:
“La obra de arte nos deja entrever, por un instante, el allá en el aquí, el siempre en el ahora.”
Thanks again, Brad, for your generous contribution to schedule reorganization skills
Thank you, Jeremy, for sharing your photos.
Ah… Octavio Paz. He wrote a beauty of a book “In light of India” which literally changed my life, drawing me East and into yoga and all sorts of other adventures. Nice to bump into you here, Gloria !
