                          It is going to be interesting to see what happens when Atmosstudio completes their website, because those stair images, and the others that are in place are awesome.
                          I can't help thinking Rennie Mackintosh, and Gaudi when I see images like this.

                                    Dear Dale.
                                    I go back to your post about Christo.
                                    I was living in Paris at this time when Christo had come to wrap the Pont Neuf. This happened from September 22 to October 7, 1985.

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/generalPicts/07_pont_neuf_wrapped.jpg

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/generalPicts/Christo.jpg

                                    http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/generalPicts/christo1.jpg

                                    One afternoon that I was passing in this place, I suddenly discovered this amazing thing. On the Pont Neuf, both sides was a number of cubicles equipped with semi-circular bench. They was packed and the old street lights staying along the parapet was packed as well. This place I had always known as a place of movement was suddenly becoming a place to stay and rest. The strange comfort of these pleasant outdoor lounges was appealing you. I had then taken a sit in one of the stalls, but many people had had the same idea. Thus the stalls were crowded, and this people accustomed to cross around without seeing them together astonishingly began to speak. I remember a wonderful evening passed to rebuild the world with perfect strangers in an atmosphere superbly cosi.
                                    Following this, the tissue that had been used to wrap the Pont Neuf had been completely cut into small three centimeters squares and freely distributed to millions of Parisians and tourists who had visited the bridge .... the idea was simple and superb.

                                      Well described Simon.
                                      The interaction, the celebration, the sensual confrontation, even some of the negative reaction to this kind of work is stimulating and challenging.
                                      I think it is so cool that you were actually there.
                                      However, you seem to end up in a lot of interesting and stimulating places
                                      Thanks for sharing.

                                          Roger, I just moved back to Northern BC. There is no way to discretely describe that genre here. Let us suffice to say you don't want to share bathwater unless it's boiling.
