My wife called me the biggest dork she ever meet when I told her "that building looks like a database". Sure enough, its the Oracle building.

With Anquilius the archiver possessing her and guiding her path, Daheia can speak with incredible knowledge and wisdom. Of course, she is also an evil servant of the otherworldly Solonavi, so there's that.
One of a number of pieces of art on the South Bank, Londond artist Alexander's "Jubilee Oracle" dates from 1980. This bronze sculpture found on the walkway between the Royal Festival Hall and the London Eye is made up of a pair of shapes with varying rough and smooth surfaces. The sculpture's plith is inscribed with a quote from the artist, reading 'Mankind is capable of an awareness that is outside the range of everyday life. My monumental sculptures are created to communicate with that awareness in a way similar to classical music. Just as most symphonies are not intended to be descriptive, so these works do not represent figures or objects'.
Nechung oracle in trance, delivering messages from the god Dorje Drakden. Although the god is usually summoned to enter the human medium's body by the Dalai Lama to answer questions for the Tibetan government, this occasion was commissioned by a group of monastics from south India - Sera Mey or Drepung, I think.
It is nearly impossible to get a "good" photo of the Oracle, because 1-he is moving, shaking and heaving the whole time, 2-flash photography and actually, any photography is discouraged, and 3-there are crowds of people shoving to get nearer to the medium. This was the only photo I got where you can clearly see his hands, the rice and so on. In all the others he is covered up by people seeking blessings and trying to decipher what he's saying.
You actually get a very accurate idea of the "Oracle experience" by watching the movie "Kundun."
My friend Stirling had the ultimate description of the headdress: she said it looks like the Dr Seuss book, "Bartholomew Cubbins and the 500 Hats."

Don't those panels make a beautiful gradient in the sunlight?
The Oracle Challenger flown by Sean Tucker put on quite the performance at the 2008 Joint Services Open House airshow at Andrews AFB. No other plane came close to the stunts and maneuvers that this plane performed.
I don't know, this just had a Roman look to it in my opinion, so I called it Oracle.

She's a beautiful doll, but her knee joints are really week, so I could only photograph her sitting or on a stand.
Thinking about it, if she cannot stand on her own - she could use a wheelchair.
Now she reminds me of Oracle (Barbara Gordon) after she got shot by the Joker - paralyzed, tied to a chair, but not broken - going on to do things she always did. A strong-minded and strong-wiilled woman.
A view of the Oracle towers at blue hour. Ten years ago, I remember seeing a picture of these towers during daylight and always dreamt of working for this company :)

The weather finally cooperated (sort of) and I managed to get out and and shoot a bit. I drove up to Redwood Shores, to the lair of Larry and shot around Oracle HQ. Its an impressive campus, with an impressively large security force.
