Down Under

For anyone who ever dreamed of having an indoor pool, check this out:

Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich has created an installation at the 21st Century Museum of Art in Kanazawa, Japan that gives visitors the experience of being in a pool without actually being in a pool.

Erlich built a room that simulates the inside of a below ground pool, right down to the blue painted walls and aluminum ladder.

Above, a skylight of sorts holds the few inches of water needed to create the dancing shadows and reflections that complete the underwater experience.

 

 

 

How cool is that?

Harvest

Our farmer's market ended for the season this past weekend.

A late autumn last hurrah, dashing from stand to stall, filling baskets and canvas bags with the supplies needed for this week's big feast. A refrigerator stocked, one last time, with a fresh, local harvest.

At least until the spring.

Which brings us to a more permanent bounty. A cornucopia of lacy knit goodness from Japanese designer Jung Jung.

Feast your eyes, Dear Readers.
