Strange Icicles

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:41:00 GMT

The other day I was in the basement computer lab of one of the classroom buildings on campus and I happened to look out through the high windows and see this spectacular icicle formation. I don’t know exactly how it formed, but it looked like two series of vertebrae but in ice. It had formed on the bottom of a metal grate which covered a large drainage area. I returned the next day with my gear and, after enlisting some friends’ help, I climbed up and squeezed out through the small window into the drainage area. One of my friends followed suit to be my voice activated light stand (VALS) and hold my flash for me to better light this strange formation.

I shot this second one with black and white in mind and I think it turned out rather nicely.

I got a call on Tuesday morning that they were in the process of tearing down the burned out Chicago Water Grill, so I grabbed my camera and drove out to grab some shots.

And one more for context….

The Talking Snowman

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:49:00 GMT

Last week a snowman appeared on the quad. Snowmen aren’t unusual, but this one was. It talked. A girl was inside the snowman and would talk to passers-by through a snorkel. Her friends were standing a ways off and would tell her when someone was coming by, who it was, and what to say. It was pretty funny to watch people’s reactions.

After an hour and a half inside it was time to remove the girl from the snowman.

My hall is going to be quieter this weekend with all the baseball guys gone to Florida. Who would want to leave windy, snowy, below-freezing Michigan for a baseball tournament in Florida? Read the article here.
