Athens Ohio foto safari

There is much to foto in Athens.

Court Street Athens Ohio bottoms out at the Armory. The Armory no longer has munitions (i guess),  but once the secessionists did make a couple of armed sojourns in southern Ohio. We did have insurrectionists attack the national capital last year.

Yesterday, somewhere south of Canton, the trees were leafing out. On a very cloudy, and somewhat rainy day in Ohio, the northern part was not green as the rest of the state. This is Jeff Hill, to the right is Jefferson Hall.

Peace mural, around Athens there is a lot of art on the outside of buildings.

Keith Wilde. Release. 2018. Stimson Avenue.

On Stimson Avenue beginning in 1890 and on to 1917, millions of paving bricks were made by the Athens Brick Company, across the street where post office 45701 is now. This is a 2019 mural by Keith Wilde.

Some of the bricks leading between Ellis Hall and Alden Library from University Terrace and Park Place.

Dogwoods have opened their white bracts. Biology tells us, those white or pink leaves are not flowers, the petals (specialised leaves) are at the intersection, and center of the bracts. White and green are the school colors. Between Ellis Hall, Cutler Hall, and Galbreath Chapel you can see the pink colored.

A lantern at the entrance of Scott Quad, facing the back of Gordy Hall. Rumour suggests Scott Quad may be soon gone.

Below Scott, and over Clippinger Lab, a woodchuck looks out.

Christ Enthroned. Kelly Latimore.

Church of the Good Shepherd Episcopal's main worship space is very low church, but elegant. Recently they have two icons by Latimore, who had lived in nearby religious community.

This Lady Justice has not always been gilded (perhaps 2004 or thereafter), and she is not blind, but she does have a lightning rod up her back. She has sat high on one side of Athens County Courthouse, since 1890.

Oscar recycles, who knew?

Great neon sign, really stinky beer. Have not had one since the January blizzard of 1978. For years, when someone opened one across the room, i could smell it unseen.
