Shining Tile

Entrance to the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum

Bob and I spent a few hours at the Udvar-Hazy branch of the Smithsonian’s Air & Space Museum. I enjoyed revisiting a few favorites (SR-71 Blackbird FTW!) and discovering some hitherto overlooked marvels.

For sheer visual lusciousness, however, the iridescent blue-green tile of the square-arched entrance way has a lot to recommend it. Steve Jobs would describe these colors as “lickable.” If you look at the larger version of this image, you can see that these surfaces seem to attract other people’s interest too; there are fingerprints visible in the light layer of dust on the wall.
