JAX airport

There are some areas of the Jacksonville airport that are really beautiful. The ladies' room has elegant beige and brown tile around the walls, but the entrance has different colors of bule and white tile to make the wall look like clouds. Really striking. the sinks arent sinks. It is a flat slab of rock/ marble/granite or something similar with spouts well spaced across the span. There are no faucets, just wave a hand under the spout and gently warm water is forthcoming. The towel dispensers are automatic--pull off the available towel and another appears--as if my magic. A restful lovely area.





At one end of the long concourse can be seen outside the building a HUGE figure of a man holding a bright jewel blue briefcase. I said HUGE-- the cellings here are 30-40 ft. high and we cannot see all of him. His head is higher than the building. He is a real work of art, but an illusion, since he is not 3-D but two dimensional. Wish I could get you a closer look.
How's this?

Hmm, seems like a monument to a false idol. You may need to use your new skills on the concourse.
