Blacksburg Images

A friend and colleague of mine, who teaches engineers at Virginia Tech and who is a gifted photographer, took a series of photos earlier this week. They are on display here, with captions beneath each one. I've also put a few of them below the fold (shrunk to fit this page -- the originals, in full size, are more evocative). Thanks to Brent for these pictures, and for his diary of the day (here).
