The Getty Center 1/3

Los Angeles, December 2010

Following yesterday’s Intermezzo which took place at the Getty Museum of Art: umbrellas can be found outside each one of the buildings.

"L'air" by Aristide Maillol (1861-1944)


A few facts:
Everything started with Paul Getty (1892-1976)’s private collection.
The actual museum (metal, stone and glass) was designed by Richard Meier and opened in 1997.
The Center is located in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles.
It displays Western Art including European paintings, manuscripts, drawings, sculptures, furniture, decorative arts and photographs.
Even on a rainy and foggy day it is impressive. Because of the weather we could not visit the garden; it will be for later this year…


Quelques faits :
Tout commence avec la collection privée de Jean Paul Getty (1892-1976)
Le musée actuel (métal, pierre et verre) a été conçu par Richard Meier et a ouvert en 1997. Une merveille !
Le Centre se trouve dans la partie Ouest de Los Angeles dans les montagnes de Santa Monica.
Le musée regroupe des peintures européennes, des manuscrits, des dessins, des sculptures, de l’ameublement, du mobilier et des photographies.
Même sous la pluie et le brouillard le tout est impressionnant ! A cause du temps nous n’avons pu visiter le jardin. Ce sera pour plus tard dans l’année…

Winslow (3/3)

436 1
Winslow, AZ, 2006
Well I'm a runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my Lord in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Last Thursday I wrote about these weird formations we came across, like this one, while hiking. In fact, after researching on the web I found out that they were in fact “fall webworms caterpillars!”

Jeudi dernier j’ai écrit à propos de ces étranges formations, comme celle-ci, rencontrées au cours de nos excursions. Après avoir cherché sur le net, j’ai trouvé qu’elles étaient en fait des « toiles de chenilles ! »

Above New Mexico, 2009

Probably the Colorado plateau but I am not sure... I'll check a map whenever I find the time to do so...

Probablement le plateau du Colorado mais je ne suis pas sure. Je verifierai sur une carte dès que je trouverai un peu de temps...
Rather busy as you can imagine.
