Last week I toured through the Henry Moore outdoor sculpture show at the New York Botanical Garden. Somebody from Time.com brought along a video camera. There was nothing I could do to stop them.

    Just finished your video. OMG, I can't believe they let you sit and stand on those pieces!

    The NYB exhibition strikes a surprising resemblance to the 2005 exhibition Henry Moore: Imaginary Landscapes at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

    That one had indoor and outdoor sculptures that also investigated Moore's inspiration from natural items--elephant skull, soup bones, his surrounding geography.

    Great video! Make more.

    Modern architecture never fails to captivate the attention of art lovers; this Zaha Hadid design in Vilnius is absolutely an eye-catcher.

    It looks like an electronic gadget of the future generation, yet it possesses that aesthetically pleasing femininity – simply wonderful feeling.

    The world could surely afford more of such engaging architecture, to add more live to the dull stereotyped skyline of the cities.

    Richard: You're right. Seeing Moore on video, with a moving camera, adds a lot to what you soak up from a computer screen.

    Helps to have a knowledgeable guide, too.

    Like Brian said, make more.
