PHILLY

I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

This well-known aquatint by Goya came to mind as symbolising where we are right now. It’s called The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.

A less well know gem. You make a good point. It really is a richly rewarding place to visit for a few minutes. The quality of the design and execution is top notch. We just don't get public art of that caliber much anymore. Magical, indeed.
