Not only is having a blog brilliant for killing boredom in the evenings in Leeds over the summer when the only other people around you are writing essays, but it is also pretty handy for encouraging you to actually get out of your double bed (the selling point when signing the contract for your moldy house) and go and see some stuff!
So, I ventured out yesterday and went to the Leeds Art Gallery and the Leeds City Museum, after all they are free!
The gallery has a whole host of different types of art from car engines covered in copper sulphate crystals to magnificent paintings in the hall you can see in the picture above.
A personal favourite of mine was called "Dry Eyes", a well thought-out photograph of a "seascape". The whole picture was made out of random objects, carpet for the sea, crates for the waves and a strange metal thing which I think represented a whale or a ship. It was a very intriging image and somehow showed man's impact on the oceans.
