Theme Day!
Post a photo of a city other than your own!
Since I’ll never get a chance to do this again, I’m posting two.
And two more at my other daily photoblog.
Above, we have the quad of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
And here, we have a swing in front of the men’s dorm at Louisburg College in NC.
…Oh, and James has decided to take this opportunity to humiliate me on his blog, as well as list all the other DP cities participating in the theme.

I really like the B&W wet sidewalk shot.

Nice. But in terms of color, I would have kept the trees and killed the person.

>“I was just talking with the Lord and you know what? He regrets having made his children too. He says it like this: ‘I will blot them out’”
>>“What does that even mean?”
>“It means he’ll blot them out, smush ‘em into the ground like ladybugs. He’s going to flood the place and drown everyone with his tears of rage. And guess who he picked to spearhead the operation? That’s right, me. Also, you virginal dummies will have to get married so we can re-seed the Earth. Stop waxing the rimrod and clean your togas. Get out to work.”

Thanks, Paul. I’m a little embarrassed by resorting to such blatant GIMPing (“faux Photoshopping”) to produce the shot, but I like to think it kind of works here. 🙂
BDPH- I did the top shot a while ago… took the original photo over a year ago, and messed with the color this past summer. I generally think selective colorization is hokey, but if I were going to apply it anywhere, here’s where I’d do it.
We, too, were discussing the resemblance of certain angles of the buildings to Sanders. There’s just something about ugly brick academic structures..

Dude, after being stuck in Poughkeepsie for four years, perhaps more (they were all hazy), I thought I had thought of every new name for the place. My favorite had been Po’awesome (to be pronounced possum) but pookeepsie? aye-yiy-aye….that’s got to word poo in it. haahaha. poo for poughkeepsie. possum that.
about the second question:
you’re already on an island. the simple fact is is that if G-d is going to drown you, surf’s up, because he’s going to drown you. You can re-seed or un-seed as much as you want, but the seeds will just either be waterlogged or float away.
