Art Deco

I left Ann Arbor on May 31st. On my way here I got stuck at the Newark airport for a couple days. One complication led to another, which led to me in New York, looking up at the Empire State Building. The building has these etched art deco patterns that you don't see until you're up close, like in the picture below that I didn’t take. It's sort of old-fashioned and modern at the same time.


I'd talk about how that's also a good description of India, “old fashioned and modern at the same time,” because that would make this post more on topic. But I'm not sure that it is a good description of India. The truth is that I like art deco architecture, and that has nothing at all to do with India. But now I'm up to two posts!
