some light around the solstice

the Oil Can Church, Methodist

Being in the northern hemisphere, far from the tropics, there is not much daylight ~9 hours. In northeastern Ohio, on the coast of Lake Erie it is the cloudiest time of the year too. There has not been any appreciable sunshine for twelve days; to-day there was some light, still very cloudy. We went out with the camera, as we walked the greyhounds. Parts of University Circle are great to walk, and during institutional closures there is a place to park.

the Temple seen from the Chinese Cultural Garden

This is a beautiful building, and is now part of the university. The portion of blue block on the right is an addition of new theatre stages. The spot previously had classrooms for the temple. The Chinese Garden has a raised platform, with a pleasant design; but inferior cement, which is crumbling. There is a new long walkway that goes from the Temple, past the Garden, across the street, over the brook, past the art museum, crossing another street, onto a green.

part of the Harvey Rice statue group, and rock moving machine

It was too dark for a good foto of the statue group.  The vehicle sits above Doan Brook. It is thought there were too many rocks in the stream, and a different flow rate ewas wanted. The scoop sat idle to-day, it must of acted like a claw machine arcade game.

The art museum and college are closed, the fountain has been drained. People were taking the opportunity to take fots at the fountain, and also the Thinker statue directly in front of the museum.

The new University Center building has a lot of outside glass. This is not good for birds.

 Case Western's "Spirit Wall"

Students are allowed allowed to paint messages. They must be dated. This is from June 2nd, and it has not been defaced.

Church of the Covenant has an outside, decorated tree. Some of the ornaments contain objects.

Moses Cleaveland checks out from Tudor Arms

What was built as the Cleveland Club beginning in 1929 found Hoover's Depression, a hard time. It started as a private men's club. It became a hotel. It was a Jazz club. It was used as university housing. It became a hotel again.
