This week's Pic Of The Week is something I took when I happened to pass by a giant modern art sculpture currently installed at the Royal Academy (Piccadilly, London). It's in the courtyard, and it's called "Tall Tree and the Eye" by the Turner-Prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor.
It's made of stainless steel and carbon steel and it's quite large (76 balls that are stacked over 49 feet into the air). This photo is a reflection detail I like for various reasons - not the least of which being the fact that if you look in the middle of the center bubble, very closely, the tiny figure in the white coat is me. Also, in this case, I think the rainy day made for a more interesting pic than if it had been dry :-)
