Reconstruction

We were out on State Street, then the Memorial Union, and then walked through Library Mall last night as a little family outing. I took several pictures of the kids devouring Chipotle, right- and left-arm rock pitches into Lake Mendota, the sailboats all perfectly aligned and patiently waiting for their 2009 inaugural run, but I couldn't pass up posting this frame. The construction running through Library Mall isn't going to create a lovely new space to toss a Frisbee or offer more picnic spots; it's a utility project. Bor-ing, but probably necessary. In the meantime, the whole site is outlined in ginourmous link fences that houses what appears to be rubbish, but at one time was likely Pretty Important.

As a side note, as I tried this in several variations of black and white, John commented that they all looked post-war and well, kinda creepy. Not that this one isn't a titch creepy, but maybe a tad less ominous--won't go all symbolic on you, but golden light on the Presbyterian church and all helps keep us in just "construction zone" and less "returning to the village" mode.
