Week 44

Same heat with some relief in the evenings but still strangely dry.  Here is this weeks image:


Pretty contrasty which is typical of summer.  Below is the new door which has been installed although work around it both inside and outside has continued:




Later on I will post a better image of the outside.  But, there is where I stand to take these pictures on the third step from the bottom next to the metal handrail.

Week 43

Fall faculty conference today then puttered around making copies and all that jazz.  The campus is changing in big ways with the new workout facility, the new entrance which I have mentioned before, and the work that will be starting soon on 9th street which will last well into and maybe a bit beyond this semester.  Nothing stays the same.  Every time I step foot on campus I step foot on a new campus and over time you can see that.  I wonder how long it would take before those changes would show up in these pictures?  So far all the remodeling and new construction is to the north or west and this south view remains relatively unchanged except for the rhythm of the year.



So it goes.

Week 42

Next week starts a round of campus events that are a precursor to the semester beginning.  The front entrance is still boarded up at the circle drive so I am still taking these pictures off of the steps and on the sidewalk.


Looks like there is some flair in the middle of the picture.  I couldn't tell since I was wearing my  sunglasses and they are polarized - obscuring many images including the one from the Canon pocket camera I am using for this project.

Week 41

I am learning a lot about the seasons and how the changes are not only subtle but more abrupt than you might think.  To appreciate this you have to go back and look at the earlier pictures and it is fascinating to see how the changes just sort of appear, and then how seasons seem "sticky" before suddenly dissolving into the next season.  Here is the picture for week 42.

Week 40

Summer rolls on.  Very hot weather followed by thunderstorms for a day or two cooling things down, and then the heat and humidity are right back at it.

Week 39

I have not taken any new pictures of it but construction on the entry way is still ongoing and visibly there is not that much progress.

Week 38

Summer rolls on.
