Campus Pictures

Yet another post from the deep archives, we bring you Kanazawa Institute of Technology in spring.  All winter last year was wet and dark and dreary, so we held off wandering around campus taking pictures until spring.  After that, we held off blogging the pictures until now. 

We had been planning to document our place of work for those who might be interested on the first really nice day of spring, and a nice day it was indeed.  Just about everything green was blooming.  We took a nice long walk around campus around lunchtime and took pictures of the concrete and flowers.  At the beginning of this trek, Ana mentioned that she had seen some particularly attractive white bamboo trees near a cherry, but as she had been following co-workers to a meeting in an unfamiliar part of campus she did not know where, precisely, they were.  Finding and photographing these mythical white bamboo became the epic quest of this adventure.

We started out on the road outside of the cafeteria.

Then went past building 24, where I work. (2nd floor, room 215 to be exact)

Through the main quad of campus.

Up to the base of the library center.

We checked around the back of it too.

Then to the top of the library center.

We caught a glimpse of our prey from the top of the LC.

Where we saw the trees she was looking for, reinvigorating our quest for them.

It still took us a while to find as the tiny quad they were in was an interior courtyard and we had walked entirely around the outer building looking for it with no success.

They were, in fact, good to look at.
