S Ashley & W Washington under a blue sky

Street corner in downtown Ann Arbor on a sunny autumn afternoon, under a deep, cloudless blue sky. A three-story red brick building with a flat, bracketed cornice stands at the intersection, its upper floors lined with tall arched windows. A red metal fire escape climbs the left side. At street level, an orange-trimmed storefront with arched glass panes wraps the corner, with red patio umbrellas and café tables on the sidewalk to the left. Next door, a slightly newer brick building has a dark green awning and a hanging sign reading "Grizzly Peak," with black umbrellas outside. Cars are parked along the curb, including a white Camaro and a dark sedan. On the far left, a pedestrian in a green jacket with a backpack crosses the street. Newer, modern apartment buildings, one with a curved silver facade, sit in the background. The shadow of a lamppost falls across the foreground crosswalk.

In the best case, the plants benefit from partial shade and the panels generate slightly more electricity due to the evaporative cooling from the plants below. (I worked on Python code for those models but not the actual modeling of the system)

alberobello trulli under a blue sky

A row of trulli in full Alberobello sunshine — now converted into shops, as most of the centro storico trulli are.

The conical dry-stone roofs are the star — grey limestone slabs (chiancarelle) laid in concentric rings tapering to a pinnacle, each topped with a white-painted decorative finial. The symbols are clearly visible on several cones: a stylized cross on the leftmost, a crescent moon on the central one, and a serpent form on the one to its right, a mix of Christian, astrological, and apotropaic symbols.

A grapevine has been trained up and over the front of the middle trullo, its branches spread wide across the facade in a pergola-like canopy of fresh green leaves — a lovely detail that softens the tourist-shop atmosphere considerably.

The whitewashed walls are immaculate. Shops occupy the ground level — La Bottega di Tichetta on the right, a gift shop in the center with ceramics and textiles displayed in the windows, a dress hanging in the doorway. Cobblestone piazza in the foreground, deep blue sky above.

Touristy but genuinely extraordinary. There really is nothing else that looks like this anywhere.

red light under a blue sky in salento

A low-angle shot from the driver's seat at a red light on a quiet provincial road in Puglia.

The yellow traffic signal arms are characteristic of Italian road infrastructure — that particular shade of yellow-gold is very distinctively Italian. Two red lights are visible, one overhead and one on the right-hand pole.

The road ahead is a flat two-lane provincial highway disappearing into the distance — the Salento flatness is very apparent, the horizon almost perfectly level. Blue directional signs in the distance point toward **Brindisi** and **Lecce**.

The vegetation tells the story of where the photo was taken: prickly pear cactus (fichi d'India) in the scrubby verge on the left, palm trees on the right behind a low stone wall, dry yellowed grass. Classic Salento roadside landscape — arid, flat, slightly scrubby, under an enormous blue sky with high cirrus clouds and a contrail crossing the frame diagonally.

A mundane moment made photogenic by the wide sky and the light.

Helsinki Cathedral under a blue sky

The cathedral sits on Senate Square, elevated on its granite steps, which gives it that imposing presence even from street level. The neoclassical design by Carl Ludwig Engel is unmistakable — white stucco facade, Corinthian colonnades on all four porticos, and the five green copper domes (the large central one flanked by four smaller ones), each topped with a gold cross. The roofline statues of the twelve apostles are visible in images 2 and 3. Image 1 gives a good sense of the urban context — the square below, e-scooters and tour buses included. Images 2 and 3 are shot from the base of the steps looking up, which exaggerates the perspective nicely and makes the columns feel monumental.

Looking back toward the entrance from the nave. The dominant feature is the ornate pipe organ in the gallery — a striking contrast to the otherwise restrained neoclassical interior. The organ case is richly decorated with gilded woodwork in red and gold, very Baroque in character against the spare gray walls. The oculus skylight above floods the dome with natural light. The wooden pews, burgundy carpet runner, and chandelier complete a space that feels austere but not cold.

North Campus Diag under a partly cloudy blue sky

This is a photo taken from an elevated vantage point on the University of Michigan’s North Campus in Ann Arbor. The dominant feature is the Lurie Tower (also known as the Baits Carillon), a striking brutalist brick bell tower that rises prominently against a partly cloudy blue sky.

In the background to the left, you can see the Duderstadt Center with its distinctive glass pyramid skylights. To the right is the Walgreen Drama Center. The walkways below wind through a landscaped plaza with young trees just beginning to show early signs of spring — bare branches, patchy green grass, and a few students moving across the paths.

The overall feel is a crisp, late-winter/early-spring day, with that characteristic flat Michigan light.

"Quantum computers are really good at operating on Abelian groups, but have, at least so far, not shown any success whatsoever on non-Abelian groups. This does make sense, given their construction, and gives us some data on why lattices have withstood quantum cryptanalytic attacks so far."

post you from a different era college professor, 1983

This is a black and white photograph showing a suburban residential scene from the 1980s based on the cars and architectural style.

The image features a two-story colonial-style house with white siding and black shutters. The house has a distinctive gambrel roof design on an attached garage section on the left side. Yours truly in light-colored clothing stands in the driveway between two period cars - American-made sedans from that era.

The property appears newly developed, with sparse, recently planted landscaping including some small shrubs near the house foundation and a young tree on the right side. The lawn looks freshly seeded or laid, and there's a lawn spreader or similar equipment visible on the grass in the foreground right.

In the background, you can see other houses under construction or recently completed, suggesting this is a new subdivision development. The overall composition captures that classic American suburban expansion moment, documenting a family's new home in a growing neighborhood.

big sky with a patch of blue over the amtrak station and the nearly complete broadway park

This photo shows a panoramic view taken from the Broadway bridge looking out over the Amtrak station and Broadway park. The scene is dominated by a dramatic, overcast sky filled with gray and white clouds, with just a small patch of blue sky visible in the upper portion of the image.

Below, the landscape shows a mix of residential areas with houses nestled among trees, and a large construction site with various vehicles parked throughout. There's a modern building with a distinctive flat roof visible in the middle distance, and you can see some infrastructure including what looks like a bridge or overpass structure in the foreground.

The terrain is relatively flat with dense tree coverage throughout the residential areas, giving the community a well-established, leafy appearance. The parking area or construction site on the right side of the image suggests some kind of development or commercial activity taking place.

The lighting suggests this was taken during the day, but the heavy cloud cover creates a moody, somewhat dramatic atmosphere. The wide-angle perspective captures the expansive feeling of the landscape and the impressive scale of the cloudy sky above.

Burton Tower under a blue sky (but it won't be blue for long: as you can see, art fair is upon us)

This photo captures a scene in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan, featuring the iconic Burton Memorial Tower in the background. The tower, part of the University of Michigan campus, stands tall behind a group of white vendor tents that are set up for the Ann Arbor Art Fair.

In the foreground are several closed, peaked white tents arranged in a row, set up on a blocked-off street. Trees with lush green foliage partially obscure the base of the tower, and a mostly cloudy sky with a patch of blue peeking through fills the top of the image. To the right, a person stands near a black van, suggesting early setup or preparation for the event.

forty-second street looking east from fifth avenue under a blue sky with wispy clouds

This is a classic Manhattan street scene showcasing the dramatic urban canyon effect created by New York’s towering skyscrapers. The photo captures the beautiful contrast between the city’s architectural eras - you can see older pre-war buildings with their classic brick and stone facades alongside sleek modern glass towers that reflect the brilliant blue sky.

The perspective from street level really emphasizes the scale and density of Manhattan’s built environment. The wide avenue stretches into the distance, flanked by these architectural giants that seem to reach endlessly upward. You can see pedestrians crossing at the crosswalk, giving a sense of the human scale against these massive structures.

The lighting is particularly striking - the sun appears to be hitting one of the glass buildings, creating that bright glare, while the deep blue sky with white clouds provides a stunning backdrop. The street appears to be relatively quiet for Manhattan, which might suggest this was taken on a weekend or during a less busy time of day.

This type of view is quintessentially New York - the interplay of old and new architecture, the urban canyon effect, and the way the city’s grid system creates these dramatic sight lines down the avenues. It’s the kind of scene that captures why Manhattan’s streetscape is so iconic and instantly recognizable around the world.

Great Buddha of Kamakura under a blue sky

This photo shows the Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kamakura Daibutsu), a famous monumental outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha located in Kamakura, Japan. The statue is seated in a meditative posture, with its hands forming the Dhyana Mudra, a common gesture in Buddhist art that represents meditation and balance.

The Buddha sits atop a large stone base, and in the foreground is a decorative bronze incense burner adorned with detailed carvings of Buddhist deities. Surrounding the statue are traditional Japanese buildings and lush trees, with a clear blue sky overhead, giving the scene a calm and serene atmosphere.

The market is busy, with many people browsing and shopping.

In the background, there are several modern buildings, including a white multi-story building and a dark gray office complex with Japanese signage. The signs suggest that this market is taking place in Japan. The sky is clear and bright blue with minimal cloud cover, indicating a beautiful, sunny day.

seto inland sea under a mostly cloudy but otherwise blue sky

The image showcases a natural landscape with a mix of trees and shrubs in the foreground, creating a framed view of the sea and distant islands. The vegetation includes both deciduous and evergreen trees, adding texture and depth to the scene. The sky is partially cloudy with some breaks in the clouds allowing light to filter through, casting a soft illumination over the landscape.

In the background, a distinctive triangular-shaped island rises from the water, standing out prominently against the horizon. The surrounding waters appear calm, with additional smaller islands visible further in the distance. The overall composition conveys a peaceful, natural setting, possibly in a coastal or island region of Japan, such as the Seto Inland Sea.

takeda shrine under a blue sky

The photo shows a small traditional Japanese shrine (Shinto or Buddhist) with a wooden structure and a tiled roof. The architecture features curved eaves, wooden pillars, and intricate craftsmanship. The front of the shrine has a shimenawa (sacred rope) with shide (zigzag-shaped paper strips), which are commonly found in Shinto shrines to signify a sacred space. A large bell with a thick rope hangs at the entrance, likely used for worshippers to call upon the deity before praying.

The setting is in a rural or semi-rural area, surrounded by hills and greenery in the background. The shrine stands on a slightly elevated concrete foundation with stone steps leading up to it. Wooden benches are placed on either side of the entrance. There are a few modern elements such as houses, utility poles, and a blue tarp in the background, indicating the shrine is located within a small village or town. The weather is clear and sunny, casting long shadows, suggesting it was taken in the morning or late afternoon.

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.” University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.
