tv inspired: water tanks

As a rule of thumb, reality television is a no-no in our humble abode, however, a few shows have hurdled the ban, as we find them very entertaining. A family favourite is The Amazing Race.
A personal preferred of mine is the Antiques Road Show, which has been faithfully followed since the late 90's, and most recently, AMC released its latest brilliant venture, The Pitch (the other brilliant show is of course Mad Men). Not only does it provide a lot of insight regarding the behind-the-scenes in the world of advertising, but a lot of the visuals are spectacular.
The very last episode, 8, landed a beautiful shot of water tanks on the rooftops of NYC. I was immediately hooked in their simple beauty. The sketchbook awaits.
