Astronomical clock

The astronomical clock. Having seen it several days in a row, I still couldn't figure out all the data its various dials and hands convey.


This post's theme word: cathect, "to focus one's emotional or mental energy on something."

Math institute

This is the mathematical institute. It is a beautiful building. So many windows! So much natural light! ... and noise. Plus, they were doing construction in the courtyard that consisted of jackhammering apart stone/concrete blocks, in 30 second increments, every 5 minutes.


This post's related word: borborygmus, "a rumbling noise caused by the movement of gas through the intestines."
