vada abditae

By TomS

This is the iconic shot of the University of Western Ontario, where I have been for the past couple of days. The skies were much better yesterday evening, but this was all I had a chance to blip.

Though this building is not even 100 years old, I couldn't imagine anything like it being built now. The tower combines a pointlessness (UWO motto 'Veritas et Utliitas' is in mosaic at the entrance - have they no sense of irony?) and a self-belief which seem to be banned from public architecture nowadays.
