Berkeley's T-Rex in one of the science buildings--part of the collection of the small paleontology museum. He greets all visitors to the science library. I’m standing in the library looking out through a big window into the atrium.
Remember reading about the very small arms this dinosaur had? Scientists have no explanation, as of yet.
UC Berkeley. Early morning light. Planted in honor of the contributions of UC students of Japanese ancestry to this country and the university.
"The unfeeling creature. Look inside a Mermaid's anatomy, and you shall see all that is pure and bright. Her healing silver blood runs through her veins, but becomes toxic should she falls in love with a mortal man."
I did this for Mermay 2019! Yes I know it's literally the last day of May and I was JUST able to post one piece of mermay lol. There were other things I worked on, plus crazy interesting situations happened in my life that keeps ever changing.
Anyhow, I was struggling a lot on coming up with a good concept for Mermay. I'm not sure why... everytime I want to paint a Mermaid I'd get so many ideas, but when I'm ready to do it my brain goes blank. So I was listening to this song and a "Mermaid's Inside" image came into mind. Soo this kind of got personal to me and also a bit spiritual you can say. Though you may interpret this image yourself!

This is a mosaic on the east side of the original powerhouse for UCB. It has seen many uses since that time, but currently stands idle and in need of seismic retrofitting. The Music Department is trying to raise the funds to convert it into a recital hall. I'm sure these ladies would approve.

The University of California at Berkeley is expanding into the several blocks west of traditional campus with several new skyscrapers. It's hard, anymore, to know where the campus starts and stops!
This creation is for a Lego Ideas competition. We had to represent our love of sport, so I made a giant heart, which symbolizes love, which is crossed by a ski slope, my favorite sport.

There are many newer buildings on the Berkeley campus, along with a rich collection of older ones, some dating to the 19th century.
The trees are pollarded London Plane trees at the Campanile.
This is Evans Hall, and it is apparently not loved on campus.

And for a more broad-minded description:

The building is historically significant to computing; seat of the math, statistics, economics departments.
At the corner of Camden Dr was a UCB branch which displayed the bank's vault in a circular structure. This building at 9601 Wilshire, one of many built in the early 1960s that changed the face of formerly sleepy Beverly Hills, looks identical today, but the ground-floor space seen here is now a Sports Club LA fitness center. The facility's cafe, Oliver, occupies the old vault area. Beyond, the 9665 Wilshire building is being framed; it opened in 1973 with the Security Pacific logo (another defunct LA-based bank) and now features Morgan Stanley SmithBarney signage. In the background is the 1955 City National Bank building, the first of Beverly Hills' modern office buildings; it has (unfortunately) shed its original turquoise skin for a more modern look.
I may not look excited, but we were on our way to the Beverly Wilshire's Milton F Kreis drugstore for a snack on this hazy Saturday.
In the '70's, you were still allowed to dive into the pool at U.C.'s Strawberry Canyon. The upper pool, shown here, is now (2010) gone completely. It sprang a leak, and the University wouldn't spring to repair it.
BEYONCÉ, GREEN DAY & LADY GAGA LEAD THE WAY WITH THREE MOONMEN AT THE “2009 VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS”, JANET JACKSON & MADONNA CELEBRATE MICHAEL JACKSON
Taylor Swift Wins “Best Female Video”
While Eminem Grabs “Best Hip Hop Video”
New York, NY (September 13, 2009) –– MTV turned New York City inside out for the “ 2009 Video Music Awards ” as the network celebrated a legend and brought together the biggest names in music, TV, film and sports. Live from Radio City Music Hall, VMA icon Madonna opened the show and introduced the emotional and heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson was joined onstage by the most renowned choreographers in the world and Michael’s tour dancers, all of whom were influenced by the “King of Pop,” for a memorable and high energy performance. To honor her brother and his illustrious career, the dancers recreated some of his most memorable music videos including “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Scream.” The celebration received a standing ovation and set the tone for the most important evening in music and pop culture.
Always controversial, British comedian Russell Brand pushed the envelope as he had fun with a slew of new stars and charmed the ladies. Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and popstar Katy Perry helped Russell kick-off his hosting duties in a big way with a light infused performance of the classic rock anthem by Queen, “We Will Rock You.”
Young country-pop superstar Taylor Swift earned “Best Female Video” for “You Belong With Me” in one of the most competitive categories of the evening, causing Kanye West to storm the stage in protest of Beyoncé not winning. In a gracious act, Beyoncé later called Taylor back on stage to rightfully accept her award. Beyoncé did win an outstanding three moonmen including the coveted “Video of the Year” award for her viral video sensation “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Also landing three statues was Lady Gaga including “Best New Artist ” for her hit single “Poker Face.” Green Day made a triumphant return to the VMAs by claiming three awards including “Best Rock Video ” for “21 Guns.” Eminem walked away victorious in an extremely heated race for “Best Hip Hop Video” with “We Made You.”

Eminem once again showcased his comedic chops teaming up with Tracy Morgan and featuring a cameo by Cyndi Lauper to present the “Best New Artist” nominees throughout the show.
Drawing on the musical energy and passion of New York City, MTV used the city as a backdrop to showcase the unprecedented and groundbreaking performances from today’s most popular artists. Making her first VMA performance a standout, Taylor Swift sang a never-before-heard version of her single “You Belong With Me.” Taylor fully incorporated all NYC has to offer by transitioning from a subway car to 6th Avenue surrounded by fans and ending her performance on top of a taxi cab.
Known for her over the top live performances and fashion forward style, Lady Gaga turned a childhood dream into a reality as she made her grand entrance into VMA history. During her unforgettable performance of “Paparazzi,” the international superstar gives her own interpretation on the price of fame which culminates with her levitating into the air.
Surrounded by pyro and using every corner of the VMA stage, fan favorite Green Day made an explosive return to the VMA stage by giving a high energy rock performance of their single “East Jesus Nowhere.”
Beyoncé had all of Radio City dancing to “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” with her call and response to the audience as she translated her music video phenomenon to the live stage. The pop diva was backed by an army of dancers as they displayed their incomparable dance moves during her performance.
Already a household name across the pond, British rockers Muse gave a breakthrough performance expanding their fan base worldwide. The band performed their latest single “Uprising” from a live remote at the Walter Kerr Theater in the Broadway district of Manhattan in front of hundreds of screaming fans.
Determined to top herself and once again raise the bar for live performances, P!nk mastered a jaw-dropping aerial act 30 feet above the stage while performing her single “Sober.” And yes, she sang every single word of it.
Bringing the show to a climactic end, JAY-Z and Alicia Keys honored their hometown of New York as they gave a powerful performance of “Empire State of Mind.”
As the official VMA house band, hip-hop’s newest challenger Wale and the legendary go go band UCB hyped up the audience as they put their own unique spin on some of the biggest songs of the year, his own material and a few classic covers. They collaborated with a number of artists including Kid Cudi with “Day And Night,” The All-American Rejects with “Gives You Hell, ” Pitbull with “You Know You Want Me” and 3OH!3 with “Don’t Trust Me”.
