monoceros blogsThese really should go into a photolog. Unfortunately I haven't learned how to set a new one up yet! So this'll have to do.
The New York Public Library
The Armor Court at the Met
A lovely ballerina by Degas. She has a real cloth tutu and a faded satin ribbon in her hair!
From the Egyptian collection. The ears and horns have fallen off. But isn't it sweet? In Elizabeth Peters's The Ape Who Guards The Balance, Ramses calls Nefret Forth, who is in disguise as a pretty boy companion, his gazelle. A most lovely term of endearment!
A still-life that I couldn't keep my eyes off.
By Sanford Gifford, who travelled extensively. This scene is in Italy, somwhere in the lake region.
Men at chess in Bryant Park.
My mom and I took a rest here, and I decided to take a shot of this idyllic haven in the middle of the busy city.
Ground Zero
A little witch accident outside Christine's apartment

'Never been to the NYPL, but I do read two things off them: The Style Guide, which is very good for learning compliant HTML (www.nypl.org/styleguide), and the weblog of the Asst. Director at www.roguelibrarian.com.
Now I wanna visit the Library :-P It looks very much like my Bristol law library. Lots of big brown tables.
