Hola my favorite people. here is the next set in the Stanfordius photo series. My mom is actually coming to visit next weekend, and I was thinking looking at these pictures would spoil the novelty of her trip. Like she'll look at these couple pictures and say, "Hey, I've seen all I need to of Stanford now." But pictures and TV come nowhere close to personal experience. Although there are some things on TV you'd rather not have personal experience with. Anyway, I 'd just like to say that viewing my pictures of Stanford doesn't mean you don't need to visit us. We do great tours, and can add an educational element for the kids too. Parents already know everything right? Maybe these pictures can entice you to come for a greater taste of Stanfordius.
This picture probably won't entice you too much, but I was really impressed with the enormity of this tree! It also looks really old and wise, but you would probably have to come here and visit us to really understand what I'm talking about. :)
Here is one of the vases I liked in a closer view. They have some kind of red thing in them, and I like to imagine that they're fat, red candles. The front of campus would look so secret society-ish lit by dozens of candles. Through the archway you can see the inner courtyard (That's where I took the picture with the red flowers and people statues featured in the last photo set.) And in the back you can see the memorial church located in the main quad.
There's lots of random sculptures around campus. This one is a shark I believe...or maybe a shooting star that symbolizes shooting for your dreams. I'll have to do more research before I do any tours.
Stanford bell tower along with the fountain on Campus Drive.
This sculpture is featured in front of the Far Eastern Studies area, and symbolizes the intrusion of the Western world in the traditional Asian culture.
Here's my favorite sculpture, and I actually know the real name for it! It's called, Ram's skull and horn. True story. It's right behind the library that we still haven't visited. That's why we need visitors. It gives us a reason to get to know our surroundings.

A lovely photo tour. You could work for National Geographic. ;-) I want the official Brinee tour sometime. And I think you should do what any normal tour guide does...make stuff up as it occurs to you. I mean really, who ever names their sculpture what it should be named, "Hunk of ugly steel with weird wiggle things."
