This is another in a series of caches
that I am planning to use to bring you to interesting locations
around town. All of these caches are the little, tiny,
sub-micro caches that attach with a magnet, so keep that in mind as
you are hunting.
When you find the
cache, sit on the bench and you will be looking at a lovely piece
of public art called "The Broken
Obelisk". If you look a little to the north, you will see a
rather non-descript building of tan brick with dark brown doors.
This is the Rothko Chapel. I will allow Wikipedia to
do the job of acquainting you with the history and general run down
of the chapel. .
This chapel was always
a favorite spot for me. The area around it simply radiates peace
and tranquility. The chapel itself is nothing much but it is cool
and quiet and dark inside, all of which can be of immense value in
our hot, noisy city. We used to make a regular stop here in my
younger days when we were walking around the neighborhood. We were
always welcome and we could cool off and maybe have a brief
discussion with the almighty at the same time.
You can check the web
site above for official opening and closing times and I highly
recommend that you go at a time when the chapel and the nearby
Menil Collection are both open.
