Looking Up, part three...


In the atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian, the concentric rings of the upper galleries and the cupola resemble the orbits of planets around the sun or a beehive, and possibly,  an exotic wheel cover.
Very fitting, in any event.

Looking up, continued...

Enroute from viewing a magnificent photo exhibition at Pier 24 back to BART recently, my fellow photographers and I cut through the lobby of Spear Tower. Off to one side of the atrium was this towering lattice-like structure. And looking up, was rewarded with this kaleidoscopic image.
