NC Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC - Marble Statues of Agnostino Cornachinni

 When my sister was visiting last week we went to the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC.   You can take photos for your own use in the regular collections.  These two marble angle sculptures were in the Italian section   They were carved by Agnostino Cornachinni between 1730-1735. The one of the left:  AngelHolding the Veil of Veronica.  The one on the right: Angel with the Instruments of Passion.  Light was overhead in the museum so there are shadows. .  Taken with iPhone 6 HDR, no flash, native camera app.  Post editing with PSE 11, cropping, straighting, & sharpening slightly..

Fushia-Purple Flourscent Stairs Zinda Restaurant, Raleigh, NC

Somehow I lost a day on January 31st and didn't post an image. So, posting another today. When I was at the Scott Kelby conference on Friday. I went to eat with friends at the Zinda Restaurant: 301 Lafayetteville St, Raleigh, NC. They specialize in Indian and Asian cuisine. The chana marsala was excellent!  I also had a spring roll, chicken satay on a skewer with peanut dipping sauce, and some Nann bread.  I was by a window and would have taken a picture of that platter if I had more time. A staircase lit up in flourescemt fushai/purple colors caught my attention and asked permission to take a picture. It was not easy because the wait staff used the left stainless door and I did not really want them in the picture. I did a little cropping of the image but that is all. They have disco on Fri & Sat. nite. Check out the menu @  www.zindaraleigh.com.
