So I was walking to the gym from work and I had the 5D2 with me. I was reading some cultural history on Dublin first which got me a little inspired (I only read one chapter in between work and work hehe!) to capture some things on my way to the gym. It was rather interesting reading about Dublins inception, even though, I thought the author was writing kinda fast to get through pre 1700s.

I was walking out of Friend Center down towards the Dillon gym, along the path is the vaunted Woodrow Wilson's school for policy and foreign relations building.

I really love walking by Woodrow Wilson, especially during Spring when the flowers are in full bloom.

I took a little detour to go up the steps that John Nash walked up in. John Nash is a Nobel winning mathematician whose work changed economic theory. Plus he is schizophrenic and still alive! Pretty cool! I am still waiting on a biopic of Cornel West.

I went up the stairs and looked up and captured this gargoyle's nose being picked! :roflBy weird looking monkeys I might add! Course they might be something entirely different...

I am not sure which window it was that he pushed his desk out the window I remember the shape sort of in the movie. Since these particular buildings didn't have any drastic renovations, I am assuming that it is either this one or..

So I went back towards the gym and sat on top of one of these cast bronze fellas!

    I think B&W works best for this area of the campus. It looks like a real old pre colonial village!
