Cool Space

A cold amble up Congress brings me outside the Space Gallery. There have been plenty of times that I've wanted to stop by and take a look at this place... on the inside. It'll happen. Looks like a happenin' place to me with some cool concerts and art installations. Take a look at the link.

Under exhibits, is that a whistling tea kettle? Now that image drags me back. On Washington, Stevens, Coyle and Bancroft there was always one of these whistling away the the afternoons in Mom's kitchens. And yes, on many occasions the kettle would boil away and destroy itself, but no problem, within a day or so, there was a replacement. Mom had to have her tea!

  1. That whistle is peculiar, isn't it? It's so demanding and yet it promises a good fifteen minutes of relaxation once you respond to it.

  6. The gallery looks interesting. Your fans now insist that you go inside and show us what they have.

  7. I do like that brick! I used to have one of those whistling tea kettles, but I don't know what happened to it.

  8. Yes, that IS a whistling kettle! Though I like the entrance, the rest might be just a little too modern for me.

  9. If I had a whistling tea kettle, I'd probably have to kill it!

    Seriously, the Space Gallery doth look like fun on a cold winter's day!

    And I think they may even have space for some of your delightful photos on their wall! Tell them I sent you. :-)

  10. Warm space, I hope. I love summers in Maine but I don't think I could take the winters, in the name of art or otherwise.
