    Re: WELSH RUGBY SCARF 2012 ... a travel log in pictures.

    ...and then I set off for the Cantor Art Center, one of my favorite places on campus.





    The entranceway is *STUNNING* with all the marble, and this horse sculpture always attracts attention. It looks like it's made from driftwood....it's not. It's made from bronze, cast in mold made from driftwood and aged to look like driftwood. This picture does NOT do it justice.



    Finally, just to give you an idea of the beauty of the inside of this building, I climbed up the stair to visit a certain Miss Pallas Athena, and the docent snapped a picture.



    I visited the gallery where the Stanford family pictures are kept, but the flash glare off the canvas sort of spoilt the pictures, so they'll have to wait for another day... ditto for the picture of the case with one of the actual "golden spikes" from the Great Northern Railroad. I know a few of you would like to see that!
