James Turrell's Light Reign inspires deep thoughts. It's also nice and shady.

Itā€™s a public gallery/museum, but I wish one could reserve the Turrell space for 20 minute increments to just be in it, undisturbed (or with guests of oneā€™s choosing).

Greetings Charles from Montgomery, AL,
Visiting another state Capitol. This time Alabama's. Quite lovely but HOT! 95 degrees!

Saw your post. I have been to the Turrell space, "Light Reign" at the Henry at UW. Gorgeous! I've spent about 10-15 mins. alone there. It's meditative. And, it was a clear day as well.

It reminded me of the beautiful Illinois Memorial at Vickburg, MS, a Civil War Battlefield Memorial with an open sky dome as well. Somber. I believe it was built in 1906(?).
