One of the things we did in NY is visit the Nicholas Roerich Museum
<http://www.roerich.org/>
Excellent collection. Unfortunately, many are framed with ordinary glass and the lighting is poorly done. So it's often
hard to see the paintings clearly, let alone photograph them. Just the opposite of the Seattle Art Museum, where the
lighting is masterfully done.
All the images I've seen of the Himalayas before the middle of the last century have been B&W photos. Seeing the same
places through the eyes of a talented painter is a whole new experience. How accurate they are, I don't know, but
certainly they opened me up to a different viewpoint, where color, even when subtle, is an important part of that landscape.
When viewing some of his fanciful sky images with clear or implied beings in the clouds, I was reminded of this shot I'd
taken a few days before of a sky creature <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=18860>.
