Photo of a trompe l'oeuil (fool the eye) painting, called "The Pate." The painting is done to look as if it's real object in a wall niche, including a pate encrusted in bread,  a dead rabbit and dead game fowl hanging down, a couple of bottles of wine, a couple of squash (I think), and another deal game fowl on the same surface as the wine and the paté.

Placard on a wall saying Public Open Space, Public Sitting Area, Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-FOutdoor bench and planter made of stone. Planter contains some plants. It's right in front of a building's exterior wall and under a large overhang, protected from rain.

One doesn't quite know what to say. The placard says that the seating area is Public Open Space from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's an outdoor, unfenced area that you actually can't keep people out of except, you know, by threatening force. I assume that the signage is boilerplate to give the building a reason to evict anyone who might, say, try to sleep there overnight, or just be there at 1 a.m. or whatever.
