deep thought

The University of Tasmania is 125 years old and has been celebrating by lighting up many of its buildings with red LED lights.

 

Taken with a 14mm wide angle lens on full frame, this building looks more massive than real life, and its ominous red presence reminds me of the computer in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy called 'Deep Thought'. It was 'a computer that was created by the pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent species of beings' to find the answer to "life, the universe and everything".

 

After seven and a half million years of calculation Deep Thought proclaimed that the answer was in fact "42".
