I know this is a bit off the topic of landscape architecture, but I happen to have a love for Art Deco design, and want to share some photos of this subject that I took in New York City last year. My grandfather was an architect when this style was very popular; in fact, he was one of many architects who designed the Rockefeller Center complex of buildings when he was employed by Raymond Hood.

You must have had a wonderful time taking these great photos! I really like what you have done. Of course, it is right up my alley and opens more doors for my appreciation. New York City is full of art deco architecture and nostalgia for me. It is great to have a third generation appreciate it all.
