Lego Robot 5, originally uploaded by tom gauld.

I like this because:

1. It’s a nice example of how form is emphasized when color is uniform

2. The robot has four eyes.

Rooftop Panorama: California Academy of Sciences

Due to some last minute changes, we had to postpone our going-out-of-California vacation, replacing it with a stay-at-home vacation. Today was the free day (3rd Wednesday of the month) at the California Academy of Sciences, so we drove to Golden Gate Park to finally see the new building. There is a lot to like, certainly. Though it was filled to capacity, it was comfortable.

I took the photo above with my iPhone, using the Pano application for stitching together panoramic photos. I enjoy using Pano for building these quirky, bent-perspective montages. The ghosts of people add a nice touch too, I think. This links to the full size, 6929 pixels wide image.

Over eight thousand checks an hour!

Elevator Trail.

A Saturday afternoon walk up a muddy and steep trail.

It takes a community. Like The Fresh Loaf
