Kymaerica

In an alley downtown, you can find this sign.
It's...art, alternate reality...oh, you decide:

Railroad Repairs

Just about every railroad crossing in the city is being worked on right now. Between this and other construction and street work, trying to navigate through the city is like negotiating a maze.

ARTREACH-hand project

The project for kids and adventuresome adults this week at ArtReach involved immersing hands in alginate to make a mold, keeping them absolutely still for 2 minutes. Plaster was poured into the mold and the results revealed as above. A tad creepy, but major fun!

Construction City

It seems like this whole town is under construction and renovation right now. This is the current project going on at the Union Hospital complex.

Skylight - Landsbaum

This skylight is in the Landsbaum Center - an excellent conference facility focusing on health education, affiliated with Union Hospital.

Fairbanks Park - World Tai Chi Day

At 10 a.m. in each time zone around the world, starting in Australia, people gathered and...did Tai Chi!
Here's what it looked like in Fairbanks Park.

No....Do Not....Not Liable

Bossy parking garage.
The above three signs are in such close proximity, I was able to capture them all in this photo with reflections:

Washington Park Community Center Mural (2)

The central part of the mural was completed when I took these pictures. People were working
on the side sections that day.

Spring cleaning

Washing the windows of the First Financial building downtown.

Old Glass

Lately, I've seen this sort of old, wavy glass several places.
These windows are on a downtown building.

5.2 Earthquake

Yesterday morning, we were awakened at 5:30 a.m. EST by the whole house shaking and we realized that we had just felt an earthquake. Luckily, this was the only "damage" I discovered in our house: tiny Curious George atop the piano had been knocked over.

If you feel your house shaking or just want to see where the earth is moving today, here's a great site to check out. Click on the "did you feel it?" link if you're looking for information on a local event you've experienced.Within 20 minutes, our quake was posted with relatively accurate statistics regarding magnitude and epicenter. As more information came in, those were adjusted.

Public Sculpture

In front of the Swope Art Museum.

Washington Park Community Center Mural (1)

I was very excited to drive by the Washington Park Community Center a couple of weeks ago and see this huge mural in progress. This was a project funded with a city grant and executed by students in the art department at Indiana State University. The mural is the work of Hammond, Indiana artist Tom Torluemke.

Another alley, tags

Just something compelling to me about the places behind places...

The plantings in front of the Ohio Building.
It's a lovely meeting/banquet center with a rooftop garden space.
