Civil Engineering takes flight




Civil Engineering with the Armory behind


Most of the Civil Engineering building is underground.  It was built around the same time as Space Station Earth at the Walt Disney World Epcot Center.  I wondered how the building would look whn it was no longer attached to the earth.

These photos change when the left or right side of the photo is duplicated and just slightly moved.  The difference is often surprising.

Branches suspended in space

Mirroring images from the bottom allows branches and leaves to float in space.  I hope someday to film this and the movement of branches and leaves floating through space produces a calming effect.  The photos were taken on a rainy overcast day on the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota.
