Walk — U of M Campus


Along Washington Ave SE.  Past what is soon to be one of the few remaining post offices left in America.    Stopping in to view the Coffman Memorial Union.


While this deck/courtyard is nice, this fountain is ... unusual.


So, from the looks of it, it is two winged monkeys spitting water onto two dragons ...  The dragons are also spitting water onto themselves ...


and then the water drains down from these ... um ... danglers just at the base below where the dragons are locking their feet.


Fountain aside, the view from this deck was pretty dang amazing.   The University of Minnesota campus has never ceased to amaze me at how much beautiful space they offer for the student to be able to relax and hang out.




And, as a bit of humor, my cohort on this walk pointed out the humor (pun intended) of this window decal—Type face: Comic Sands—found in the University Bookstore located in the basement of this building.
