K and I were in New York last weekend. We spent Friday morning in Lower Manhattan, near the old fish market on the East River. I took some artsy photos of nautical textures and designs, and also an ersatz celebrity art sighting:

| Detail of the side of the ship. I like the way the rigor and right angles of the rectangular shapes contrast with the ovals and the angles of the lines, as well as the random organic shapes of the rust blossoms and streaks. ©Nancy E. Banks |
