A load of balls

This is brilliant. If you’re in London, head down to the Royal Academy and take a look at Anish Kapoor’s Tall Tree and the Eye.

Tall Tree and the Eye

It’s a 15 metre high pile of 76 metal balls, highly polished and reflecting the surrounding buildings. The Guardian revels in the fact that it looks so fragile and light – and it’s right, it looks like the spheres are bubbling up from the floor and floating off out of the courtyard.

For me, though, the best bit is looking up at the reflected courtyard in the balls at the top of the pile, which is just beautiful. You get a great bird’s-eye view of the gallery all around you while keeping your feel flat on the floor.
