Admiring these just before the rain began.
Yesterday I attended a virtual class led by Dr. Kate McLean, in which we learned about her extensive and fascinating research into smellscapes and then reviewed the individual "smellwalks" we'd taken and documented in advance of the class meeting. Olfaction! Design practice! Written description! Data visualization! The ever-shifting relationships between smell and place, space, time, and humans! Many thanks to @flakybrit for all this enlightenment and to @artandolfaction and @deathandscent for coordinating and offering this session.
April in the neighborhood.
Even with the additions of the social distancing signage and the hand sanitizer stand, these elevators are still some of my favorite mini-landmarks in NYC. Happy to see them again!
The pandemic has become a time of self-reflection for so many of us.
The Pulitzer Fountain's Pomona (Karl Bitter, 1916) will always hold a special place in my heart. She was looking especially beautiful today. 🌸
