Textures

Throughout the past few days of in-depth observations, I have noticed that everything has a texture or design. We often overlook the small details but once we acknowledge them, the world becomes even more beautiful. Aspects of VCU that visually stood out to me was the majority of the buildings were brick. Most of the brick architecture is located downtown in my hometown, where as here, several towering buildings are exclusively brick. I explored through a thrift store earlier today and the textures of various wall decors caught my eye with their unique design and texture. The simple, yet beautifully built, hotel next to my dorm room is very aesthetically pleasing especially when the sun starts to set and reflects off of each window. Trees line every sidewalk of the campus with each tree a unique piece of art. Overall, my observations in the city are very appealing to me and I hope to continue walking with my head up as I make my way through campus.
