More Photos

Since the last two posts have consisted only of writing, here are some photos to relieve the monotony a little.

The first photo depicts an old, broken VW Beetle that has been sitting at the end of our driveway for years. I think that, unlike most broken, rusting cars, this one manages to look picturesque. But, then, I am biased. :o)

(Note: I think the quality is better if you click on the photo to see the actual size.)

These next two were taken on the campus of the University of British Columbia (in Vancouver). The buildings aren't what I would consider good-looking, but at least they are interesting.

This first one is the back of the Koerner Library. The front is entirely different — all glass.

This second one is the Buchanan Tower. It is usually, in my opinion, a dreadful eyesore. When it has been raining, there are long dark streaks on the concrete under the windows and the building generally is a darker, dirtier grey. Considering how often it rains in Vancouver . . .

Anyway, in the sun (and behind some trees), it doesn't look so bad, and I'm sure some people like it either way.
