I particulary like the third statue photo with all the different shades of grey. It wouldn't have looked the same had the sky been blue. <BR/><BR/>We all cherish the strength and comfort of a good friend.

I love London - so many fantastic things going on all the time. Can't wait to go look at art with you, then drink beer and whatever.<BR/><BR/>Lettuce I'm so glad you have a friend who is sharing the experience of loss. When my mother died, two of my closest friends also lost their mothers - a terrible coincidence of loss. We were able to help each other so much, without ever really having to talk about it. We all just knew.

Those figures are a nice reminder (though for some reason they also seem a little lonely and desperate).<BR/><BR/>The sensory box sounds fascinating. I love the soft glow and shadowy figures of people moving around inside.<BR/><BR/>Hope this show comes to NYC!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-65670257334785947242007-06-17T19:26:00.000+01:002007-06-17T19:26:00.000+01:00I am so glad you had a wonderful day with Betty.In...I am so glad you had a wonderful day with Betty.<BR/><BR/>Interesting write up of Antony Gormley.
