Iowa State University, Ames
April 15-16, 2006
A visit to Ames, Iowa, on Easter weekend, 2006, when
the campus was almost deserted.
I stayed here longer than expected due to two flat tires.
(You can click on most photos for a bigger one.)
The clock tower in Campustown, adjacent to the
Iowa State campus. (Is it just me, or is there something
unseamly about that gas station?)
The student slave labor at a local pizza joint.
Artsy architectural shots. (I wish I had more light control
with my cheapo camera.)
Growing marijuana on the ISU campus.
A bunny wabbit sighting on campus, in night vision. Since this is
the night before Easter, could it be the EASTER BUNNY!
Industrial chic. Reminds me of the Lancome
factory in Paris.
Memorial Hall.
Found myself with two flat tires in Ames, so I stayed here longer
than expected.
Took a cab on Easter morning to try to find a replacement tire.
I had a lively conversation with the cab driver on the
Bodily Fluids issue. Obviously, bodily fluids on the
outside of the vehicle is a better deal.
This was a truly scary Easter Bunny (actually in a mall in Tulsa, not Ames).
He was the most passive one I had ever seen. He didn't
wave or shake hands with the kids. He just sat there.
A seasonal capitalist exploitation project.
