Vermeer lives: Home Life, by Andrew Coulter Enright. Full size image can be found on his weblog.
Enright also asks an interesting question about the High Line, the elevated rail line in Chelsea slated to be renovated as a public park: how is it going to integrated with the rail yards that are the proposed West Side Stadium location? From maps he posts on his site, the two properties overlap significantly on the High Line's north end. The stadium developers will no doubt love having to delicately build around the old rail structure. ("Whoops! We accidently compromised some load bearing girders with a backhoe! Damn, now we'll have to tear the rest down!") I'm sure it's all being taken into consideration, though, given Mayor Bloomberg's concern for environmental factors in that part of the city.
Tom,
Your praise is much appreciated, as is the link. Many might assume that a comparison to Vermeer would sit poorly with me (my tastes tend to lie post 70's); they couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm humbled by the pairing, and have taken considerable strength from it. So, thank you.
Glad to have you reading TTH+TC (or viewing as is more often the case), I've been peeping your site off and on for years now...
Cheers,
A.
