Day eleven, April 11th, the penultimate day, and I have spent most of the morning cleaning and straightening up the apartment to make it appear like I was never here. There is little or no chance that I will be able to eliminate all traces of my presence, but I want to ensure the apartment is as clean as possible when I leave.

After cleaning, I headed out to photograph. I took the A train downtown and walked around for a little more than an hour, but I could not see anything worth capturing. I have no doubt I was just not seeing anything; there most certainly were things I could have photographed, but my "mind's eye" was not seeing them. So, I headed back to the Cloisters.

The Cloisters, also known as the Met Cloisters, are part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its buildings were acquired by American sculptor and art dealer George Grey Barnard in France before 1913 and moved to New York. The four structures or cloisters—the Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem, Bonnefont and Trie—contain a large collection of medieval artworks shown in the architectural settings of French monasteries and abbeys. Barnard's collection was bought for the museum by financier and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. and donated to the museum.

Let me recommend to any of you that the museum is more than worth the price of admission. The exhibits are wonderfully laid out. The lighting was a challenge, but in the end, I made images that are probably the best of those I have made while here in New York.

Tomorrow is a travel day, and I look forward to returning home. It has been a great trip. I wish I had been more successful in making images, but maybe I will find a nugget or two when I review my image at home.
