Field trip pics (56k = bap)

A few weeks ago (February 16th) I went to UC Berkeley on a field trip. Had to be at school an hour early and got back a half-hour late, but all in all it was pretty fun. Got a tour of the campus, ate lunch, and then got to explore on our own for a bit. Here's some pics...

This is a freakin' huge bell tower... with a clock... 3rd-largest in the world... modeled after the 2nd-largest...

And from below, it looks even bigger. ph34r my mad Photoshop 90-degree counter-clockwise rotational skillz.

This is Justin, AKA jcz1987, who joined here awhile back, talked about the San José Sharks, and vanished in a poof of things. I was going to make a joke using an alternate word for cats, but that seemed a little inappropriate for this board. I was also going to make a comment about him showing off the fact that he has an iPod and I don't, but then he'd get mad at me. (

And for sheer randomness, his preferred tool for journalistic voyeurism... yes... (inside joke)

Most of these pics are just snapshots and I didn't really try composing any of them, mainly because it was my first day with this particular camera (today I figured out manual focus). This is the closest thing I have to, say, something I could turn in for Photo class. Anyway, this is the main library. It goes several stories underground, each of which is the size of a football field. You can see a glass pyramid there on the left; there are several and these are actually skylights for the lower levels.

I can't post this picture because the person isn't allowed to have their picture on the internet. Same one who made me take down France's Most Wanted.

Yes folks, parking in California is so bad that in some cases you have to win a Nobel prize to get a prime spot. (NL = Nobel Laureate. These spaces really are reserved for Nobel-ish Berkeley alumni)

What building was this again? A random one. That makes perfect sense. My friends don't seem to remember either, but there's Berkeleyites sitting in front of it.

T-Rex skelly. This is actually part of a panoramic shot, but I can't put together because I don't have the CD. I had a picture of the flying dragony-wingy-flingy-thingy-the-nineteenth above it, but can't find it. Oh well.
