The V&A East Storehouse officially opens to the public this weekend. Kevin and I were given a private tour of the facility on Thursday by our son Brendan.

Vivienne Chow from Artnet News has written an excellent article about this amazing space and one press release said that ´the museum is the exhibit’ . https://news.artnet.com/art-world/inside-va-east-storehouse-2651021?amp=1

One place where you can actually pull up a seat is here where you can recline back and enjoy this wooden Spanish fresco from the 15th century.

Here are a few more seats to enjoy.

If you live in London or are planning a trip to this great city, the V&A East Storehouse is a must see.

Part of our local park has been fenced off for a restoration of the shoreline. A fence is one thing but they’ve also put a fabric covering along the fence so you can’t see the lake or what’s going on on the other side when you’re sitting down.

Many of these benches at the High Park Zoo are facing empty pens that are also going through renovations.

Today’s prompt is ‘intimidating’. As I walk through busy downtown areas such as London or Toronto, I find the massive skyscrapers somewhat intimidating. The shear height makes me feel like an ant that could be squashed at any moment.
